-Christian Vieri:
Here is another Italian player. His list of clubs that he has played for goes as follows: Juventus, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Torino, Atletico Madrid, Monaco, Lazio, Atlanta and Fiorentina.
Vieri is one of the greatest goal-scorers of his generation. He moved around a lot until 1996 when he joined the ranks of Juventus but after only a year he again moved to Atletico Madrid.
He was quite impressive with Atletico Madrid as he scored twenty four goals in his twenty four appearances there but still he did not stay long with them either and moved to Lazio in the next season.
-Ruud Van Nistelrooy:
This Dutch sensation currently plays for Hamburg and has also went through some big clubs like Real Madrid, Manchester United and PSV Eindhoven.
Nistelrooy is known to be a creative goal-scorer as he usually nets some excellent goals for both his country and club. He scored sixty two times from just sixty seven appearances when playing in the PSV Eindhoven squad.
His consistency made Sir Alex Ferguson sign him for a sizable transfer amount. The player scored more than a hundred and fifty goals for Manchester United in almost five years.
He later had a fall out with the Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo in 2006 and shorty after that he left the Red Devils to be signed with the Los Blancos.
The player had an excellent start to his term with Real Madrid but then he became the victim of numerous injuries there and had to leave with the arrival of Gonzalo Higuain and the signing of Karim Benzema.
Recently, he got transferred to Hamburg and is having a good time there so far. He also played his part in the Netherlands National team but retired from international duty in 2008. However, the player came out of retirement for the 2010 World Cup.
-Ole Gunnar Solskjaer:

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer soon became a key member in the Manchester United squad and early on got the title of ‘Super Sub’. His goal against Bayern Munich in the 1999 Champions League final made him world famous and one of the five most famous personalities
at Manchester United.
He remained a loyal United player and rejected offers from the Lily Whites even when the Red Devils were ready to send him away. The player sustained various injuries at the end of his career and finally retired in 2007.
