#15 Kleberson

Then

Brazilian midfielder Kleberson played a surprisingly important role in Brazil's 2002 World Cup triumph. Relegated to the bench for the first four matches, Kleberson first made it into the starting 11 in the quarterfinal against England. After impressing with his tenacious approach, the midfielder even started the semi-final and final setting up one of Ronaldo’s goal in the showpiece match against Germany. Kleberson was playing for Brazilian club Atletico Paranaense in 2002.

Now

After his impressive performances in 2002, the Brazilian made a much-publicised move to Manchester United. However, things did not go according to plan and the midfielder had spells at Besiktas, Flamengo and Bahia among others. Currently, Kleberson is playing for American club Fort Lauderdale Strikers in the North American League.
