5 great footballers who played for clubs you didn't know about

#1 Rivaldo (Bunyodkor)

Rivaldo joined the club in 2008 and was managed by Zico

If you’re a poor club in some part of the world, chances are that Brazilan legend Rivaldo has played for you at some point. The player made his name at Barcelona and also enjoyed a spell at Milan where he won the Champions League in the 2002-03 season. He also went on to win the World Cup with Brazil in 2002 and is considered as one of the greatest players to have graced the game of football.

He played for as many as 14 clubs in a career that spanned over 24 years at the top level. But the most surprising of them all was his decision to play for Uzbekistan side Bunyodkor. The player joined the club in 2008, just three years after its formation and went on to make over 50 appearances, scoring 33 goals in his two seasons and winning three titles in the process.

Rivaldo ended his career at Mogi Mirim where he scored a goal and also assisted one for his son in his final game as a professional footballer. A remarkable feat achieved by a remarkable player!
