5 great English players who played abroad

#4 Chris Waddle

Waddle won the league title three times while at Marseille

Waddle had an excellent career, both in England and abroad, but sadly his career will best be remembered for blazing over his penalty in the shootout in the semi-final defeat to West Germany at the 1990 World Cup. The winger appeared for Newcastle United and Tottenham in the 1980s, earning promotion from the Second Division with Newcastle, before moving to Tottenham in 1985, where he played 138 times in the old First Division.

He made the move to Marseille in 1989, who at the time were the dominant force in France. He spent three years with the club, winning the Division 1 title every season he was there. Waddle returned to England with Sheffield Wednesday in 1992, where he spent four years, however, was injured for the World Cup in 1994. That time with Wednesday was the end of his career at the top, and he spent short spells with Falkirk, Bradford City, Sunderland, Burnley and Torquay United before retiring in 1999.
