Among the obvious names like Kaka (95), Ibrahimovic (35) and Iniesta (20) there are actually two players on that list with Notts links.

At number 62 is Mark Fotheringham. Was he ever really thought of that highly at Celtic? Certainly wasn't by our fans.

Then right up there at no 5 it's Jermaine Pennant. Who obviously made us a lot of money, but I'm not sure he ever actually played for our first team.
I think we rushed him into the first team when clubs were sniffing around to try and up the value of it went to tribunal. Thankfully Arsenal acted with a bit of grace and gave us a really good deal, other larger clubs were looking at taking him for peanuts
