The fact that David Silva played for Celta Vigo before making a name for himself in Premier League is something that not many football fans are aware of.

The Spain-born legend spent a significant part of his footballing career at Valencia, who loaned him to Celta de Vigo in 2005 after he returned from Eibar. During his time at Galicia, the now 32-year-old made 34 appearances for Celta and also notched up 4 goals for his respective side, inspiring the newly-promoted team to an impressive sixth-place La Liga finish.

Having served his apprenticeship, Silva was now welcomed straight into Valencia's first team when he returned to his boyhood club at the age of 20.
