And finally, Olembe!

What… What do you mean you don’t remember him?!

Actually, you are forgiven. Now 36, the forward surprisingly started against Chelsea on the last day of the 2003-04 season, despite failing to score for Leeds in his 12 outings.

The Cameroon international had arrived at Elland Road on loan from Ligue 1 outfit Marseille, but failed to make an impression in Yorkshire, before heading back to France following the Whites’ relegation.

The winger netted just one goal in over 80 games for Marseille, before finally leaving the Stade Velodrome in 2007 for fellow English outfit Wigan Athletic, where he once again failed to find the back of the net.

Olembe lasted a few months with the Latics before completing a move to Turkish side Kayserispor, before then finishing his career with Greek club Larissa in 2010.

Since then, the Cameroonian endured a trial at now Premier League outfit Burnley, as well as oddly featuring for Manchester City in a reserve match!

After that, it is fair to say, it has been hard to track Olembe’s whereabouts…
