1. The First Long Wait
Mohamed Salah
Playing for Arab Contractors, Salah had his worst goal drought ever. His professional debut came in the Egyptian Premier League against Mansoura in May 2010, but he had to wait for 11 games to get his first goal. He finally scored against Cairo giants Al Ahly in December. The 18-year-old netted the equalizer to clinch a point for his team.
Mohamed Salah is still leading the Premier League's top-scorers chart with 15 goals despite missing the target for six consecutive weeks. The Egyptian King had a similar run two years ago with the reds but still managed to win the golden boot. Will he do it again this season?
