Riese (Norway)
"Norwegian Heavy Gunner" came to Liverpool in 2001, and followed the " Red Army " to create the Istanbul miracle in 2005. During his seven years at Liverpool, he played 348 games and scored 31 goals. As a defender, this number of goals is very good. Today Riise is coaching a women's football club.

Schmeichel Jr. (Denmark)
His father's aura did not cover up Schmeichel Jr.'s achievements.

Solskjaer (Norway)
"Super Substitute" is his exclusive label. In the 11 years he played for Manchester United, he scored 29 goals in a total of 150 substitute appearances.
