Jan Molby, perhaps one of the most famous examples of an improbably unathletic midfielder with an exquisite touch and amazing passing. Tomas Brolin, Charlie Adam, Gazza and Charlie Miller all fitted this pattern throughout their career. There must be other examples.

Somewhat improbably, a veteran Guillermo Amor, former Barcelona and Spain midfielder, plies his trade for Scottish strugglers Livingston FC. Amor would make only 3 appearances for Livi in 2003 as they struggled to avoid relegation.

This afternoon Ipswich Town and Man Utd meet in the EPL. Travel back to 4/3/95 and George Burley fielded an aged defence of David Linighan, Frank Yallop, Neil Thompson & John Wark (ave. age 32) against the young flying machines of Kanchelskis and Giggs, with Andy Cole netting 5, Mark Hughes 2.

Rinat Dasaev, epic goalkeeper for the USSR at Mexico 86. A name that'll strike a chord with those in their late 40s who collected the World Cup Panini sticker album.

Jim Tolmie and his luxuriant locks and 'tache combo. Definitely a place for this epic look in Guardiola's dressing room.

The brilliant Pat Jennings in his final game ever, Northern Ireland v Brazil in Mexico 86.

35 years ago. When Shoot! Magazine was the highlight of the week and they could pull off stunts like this for April Fool's Day. Kids nowadays don't know what they're missing.

Jürgen Croy, accomplished GDR goalkeeper won 86 international caps between 1967-81. Croy spent his entire 372-game career with Sachsenring Zwickau, his hometown team, in spite of overtures to join the country's larger clubs. Croy played an integral role in the 1974 WC campaign in W Germany.

Murdo MacLeod, a Scotland international on 20 occasions and all-round good guy by all accounts, blazed a trail for Paul Lambert and (less successfully) Scott Booth by joining Borissia Dortmund in 1987. During his tenure at the Wedtfalenstadion he won the DFB Cup & Super Cup.

Hacked off with what Twitter became, it's time perhaps to make the great leap. Let's see what this adventure holds for World Football Curios. Here's a photo of criminally underrated RB Jocelyn Angloma to get the ball rolling.
