#17 Nicolas Anelka – Le Sulk
Trending
Anelka joined Arsenal in 1997 and in his second season with the Gunners, he won the PFA Young Player of the Year award. But his apparent lack of interest or enthusiasm on the pitch angered some sections of Arsenal fans, who nicknamed him ‘Le Sulk’ or ‘The Sulk’
Anelka was the epitome of a journeyman footballer as he played for 12 clubs in England, France, Spain, Italy, Turkey, China and India through the course of his career.
In 508 career club games, Anelka scored 157 goals. He was involved in a bust-up with France coach Raymond Domenech during the 2010 FIFA World Cup, that saw him expelled from the squad. It was a disastrous campaign for France as they were sent packing in the first round itself.
Anelka, during a brief spell in India, played for and managed Mumbai City FC.
