#5 Gareth Bale: Arsenal
Before Gareth Bale became the most expensive player in the world in 2013, he was tearing it up in the Premier League with Tottenham Hotspur. A two-time PFA Player of the Year award winner, the Welsh left-back-turned-winger-turned-forward had a stellar 2012/13 season, scoring 26 goals in all competitions (21 in the Premier League).
But then came the admission that he wasn't a Tottenham fan. Growing up, he had eyes only for their north London rivals - Arsenal.
He was smitten with the team of players that went an entire campaign unbeaten (the Invincibles). Of course, back then he was just a young player at Southampton's youth academy (where he was roommates with Theo Walcott).
"I used to like Arsenal a lot. But when I moved to Tottenham, of course, I liked them less.
"But I really admired Thierry Henry and Patrick Viera, those kind of players. They were incredible."
Bale's heroics at White Hart Lane eventually earned him an £86m move to Real Madrid where he has since won three Champions League titles.
