Kerlon:
Inventor of the seal-dribble, he became a Youtube sensation, and a football manager legend. I was permanently watching the 2D-match-Engine hoping I would be able to make out Kerlon running down the wing bouncing the ball on his head. I never saw it, but his consistent 40-goal seasons more than made up for it!
Where is he now?
Is playing for Japanese club Fujieda MYFC, which is the first club in world football to be funded by online subscribers! It seems his internet legend will live on. His football one, probably won’t. At 5ft 5”, the 23-year-old is unlikely to ever grace European football with much brilliance in the foreseeable future. He was named best player at the 2005 South American Under 17 Championship, where defences apparently took less offence to the mickey being taken out of them by a player performing seal-tricks!
