5 players you didn't know played in the Premier League

#1 Marco Materazzi (Everton, 1998-99)

Nobody seems to remember Materazzi's solitary season in the PL.

Five consecutive Serie A titles, four Coppa Italias and one Champions League in a decade with Inter Milan, along with a World Cup with Italy, where he played a very decisive role, particularly in the final. Marco Materazzi has had quite a career for someone who doesn't come across as an incredibly gifted footballer. Delve deeper into his CV, and you'll find that he played a solitary season in the Premier League way back in 1998.

It is unlikely that Materazzi would like to discuss that season though. He was sent off thrice in 27 games, and also conceded a penalty in a Merseyside derby to cap off a disastrous season in England. He certainly made up for that shocking season on his return to Italy, though.

Perhaps its best for all parties concerned that his Premier League outing is now well forgotten.
