Alfonso Perez, a graduate of Real Madrid's youth academy, had to move on from the capital city after failing to establish himself at the Santiago Bernabeu.

In a few years, however, he had managed to make a name for himself at Real Betis. Never a flashy player, Barcelona, though, signed him for €16.5 million following the departure of Luis Figo to Real Madrid.

Perez, however, failed to recapture his form at the Camp Nou. His spell in Catalunya was disastrous, with the striker managing to score a paltry two goals in 21 games during his two-year spell with Barcelona, after having scored 57 in 152 appearances for Betis.

An unsuccessful loan spell with Marseille followed, with the striker eventually returning to Betis and scoring another 10 goals in 45 games before retiring from the game in 2005.

While he never made it at Barcelona, he still managed to earn 38 caps with the Spanish national team in which he scored 11 goals.
