#2 Jurgen Klinsmann (Orange County Blue Star)
Like Gary Lineker, Jurgen Klinsmann also made an unexpected decision after his second spell at Tottenham. The player announced his retirement and relocated to the United States where he led a relaxed life for five years before agreeing to play for American fourth division side Orange County Blue Star.
At the age of 41, the former Bayern Munich star came out of retirement to play for the side and managed to score five goals in eight appearances, not a bad return considering the fact that he was in his 40s.
Klinsmann enjoyed a prolific playing career and was a part of the West Germany team that won the 1990 World Cup and the unified German side that won the Euro Championship six years later. He also finished as the runner-up for the Ballon d’Or in 1995.
