Main clue, no O/T in the title so I'm a footballer. No limit to how many guesses you have but I won't be responding to the wrong ones. I'll add in more clues every so often until someone gets who I am. I've tried to Google proof these but would prefer it if you didn't use it. Good luck.
I am not known by my birth name.
I moved around quite a bit, playing for clubs in 5 countries.
I won one of Europe's top honours with a club I only played 4 games for.
I briefly represented my country but that didn't end well.
I helped the club I signed for as a youth do something for the first time.
They would do it twice more, captained by a man who was born on my 16th birthday.
I was rarely on my best behavior.
I played for one team who could have been named just for me. Maybe not!
I am well known for a unique goal celebration.
I've been ranked in the top 10 players of all time for one of the 'big 6' clubs.
Some would say I'd have no chance of playing for Barnsley.
