#2 Bhaichung Bhutia- Fulham, Aston Villa, and West Bromwich Albion
Before Dheeraj Singh Moirangthem, Syed Rahim Nabi, Subrata Pal, and Brandon Fernandes tasted rejection, Indian football icon Bhaichung Bhutia endured the same fate with numerous EPL clubs.

Fulham, Aston Villa, and West Bromwich Albion scouts took note of his talent and offered him a trial. Then only 23, all the three clubs rejected him in 1999 but, he got a chance to rub shoulders against the likes of David Beckham and Andy Cole while playing against Manchester United in an exhibition match for Aston Villa.
The striker eventually signed for League One outfit Bury FC where he scored three goals. That wouldn't be the Sikkimese Sniper's last stint abroad as he played for Perak and Selangor in the Malaysia Super League.
