Plenty of mentions of Imre Varadi in this thread. I taught him at Junior School in Luton. His dad was a slightly too enthusiastic spectator at school football matches! Good player, but you would never have guessed at age 11 that he might become a successful professional footballer.
His brother became a chef at quite a classy hotel/restaurant in Bedford.

I think there may be a handful of posters more ancient even than myself! I was a young teacher in about 1970 when Varadi was about.
Certainly there were many other boys who, if they had gone on to be professional players it would have surprised me far less.
Often the case isn't it,I remember many "star" sportsman not just footballers at school who didn't for whatever reasons "make it". On the age thing..you must now be addressed as the father of the forum such as in Parliament

Nobby was adored in the North East (I lived up there at the end of the 90s/early 2000s). One of those who could see things others couldn't, and always seemed to play the game with a smile on his face.
A South American Conor Chaplin.
Newcastle had a succession of "How on earth did they find them?" players. Faustino Asprilla was probably the next most impactful after Solano, but on a "random footballers of the 90s" thread, Temuri Ketsbaia surely deserves a mention.
No one could accuse him of not caring enough!
And as if on cue I am watching the Cyprus v Scotland highlights just now and I see that Temur Ketsbaia is now the manager of Cyprus.
I know that this footballer is a tad later than the 1990s but just remembered Malcolm Christie.
I kinda liked him because I think one moment he was playing non-league football and working in a supermarket. And the next moment he’s snapped up by Derby and playing in the Premier League. Always liked that story. He played for ten seasons as a professional footballer before he had to retire through injury.
Convinced myself that he sold his soul to the devil.

If my memory serves me right, Roy Wegerle was the last minute replacement for an injured Alan Shearer in the game at Portman Road when Bontcho scored his overhead kick. And I think he scored.
