#7 Asamoah Gyan
Gyan's mostly remembered for smashing the penalty on to the crossbar at the end of extra time of Ghana's 2010 World Cup quarter-final against Uruguay with the scores level. Gyan, who had a spectacular World Cup until then, was signed by Sunderland on the last day of the summer transfer window for a club record fee.
He justified the fee with a brilliant first season at the Stadium of Light, with 10 goals in 31 appearances to steer Sunderland into the top 10.
The next season, however, the Ghana striker made a shock move to UAE side Al Ain as he found the prospect of receiving four times the salary he was earning from playing in the PL too enticing to reject.
