We are all familiar with players who just can't stay at a club for a long time, whether it is Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who has played for some of the biggest European clubs, or Nicolas Anelka, who had started for 6 different clubs in the Premier League itself.

But none of these club-hopping players come even close to the Guinness World Record holder for the title of Most professional football (soccer) teams played for by an individual, Sebastian Abreu, who broke his own record this June when he signed for Club Deportivo Magallanes, the 27th club of his career.

He told the GWR, last year:

"Honestly I was never trying to break a Guinness World Records title but the record has made me very happy."
