Another former England international in this list, David James played for a number of clubs during his illustrious professional career.

Making his debut for Watford in 1988 after coming through their youth ranks, Liverpool signed James four years later - at the same time the Premier League was introduced.

Making over 200 appearances for the Reds during his seven-year spell, he made moves to Aston Villa (1999), West Ham (2001) and Manchester City (2004) with regular first-team action a key demand for him to remain settled.

Harry Redknapp, then Portsmouth manager, signed the veteran Englishman in 2006. He won the FA Cup and also made 134 PL appearances, earning 39 clean sheets during his four-year spell there.

He won 53 international caps before retiring after the 2010 World Cup. Joining a handful of lesser clubs, both in England and elsewhere across Europe, he eventually retired at the start of 2015 after a brief stint with ISL side Kerala Blasters.
