#3 George Weah (Chelsea, Manchester City, 2000)
One of the greatest African footballers of all time, and still the only player from the continent to win the Ballon d'Or, George Weah was an absolute spectacle of a goal-scorer.
The current President of Liberia is best remembered for scoring goals for AC Milan in his five-year tenure with the Rossoneri, winning two Scudettos in the process. He also won a Ligue 1 title with Paris Saint Germain.
At the turn of the millennium, Weah decided to move to England. Well past his prime, aged 34, and his services surplus to requirement at Milan, it was easy for Gianluca Vialli's Chelsea to bag him up on loan for half of the season in January 2000. He got off to a flier at Chelsea, scoring against fierce rivals Tottenham Hotspur in his debut with just three minutes to go.
He scored a total of three goals in eleven league games for the Blues, and also managed to win the FA Cup with them, starting in the final against Aston Villa. However, Vialli did not make his move to Chelsea permanent.
Weah had a little more to offer to English football before he left though, signing for Manchester City on a free transfer in the summer of 2000. He scored four goals in eleven games for City, including one against Liverpool in the league. He left midway through October, dissatisfied with the amount of playing time he was getting.
