#2 Rickie Lambert
Former England international and Liverpool ace Rickie Lee Lambert vetoed the options to join Kerala Blasters in the fourth edition.
Rickie was contacted by Kerala Blasters as part of buoying their attack. The midfielder hailing from Kirkby also received offers from teams other than Kerala Blasters. The 35-year-old striker who had his recent venture with Cardiff City took a stern decision not to join Indian Super League, to be more true, not to take a venture outside England. Since Kerala Blasters had an option to sign Berbatov other than him, Rene Meulensteen side had no trouble in deviating from the offer.
Rickie Lambert featured in 11 games for the England National Team and would have been the best signing of Indian Super League, if he was ready to take the Indian offer.
