#3 Eric Dier
Current India captain Sunil Chhetri had a stint with Portuguese outfit Sporting Lisbon in the 2012/13 season but failed to make much of a mark before returning home. Chhetri’s much-trumpeted move to Portugal soon hit realistic notes as he played with Sporting’s B side in the Portuguese second division. During his short spell, however, Chhetri featured alongside current Tottenham Hotspur and England midfielder Eric Dier, albeit for a very short period of time.
Chhetri played a total of five minutes in two games in the Ledman Liga Pro with Dier, with Sporting B losing the first game against Freamunde before getting the better of Braga B two match days later. Chhetri's contribution in both the games was barely meaningful, but that gave him a taste of European football at least.
