7) MF-Club Record: 162/13, Int. Record-21/2.

8) MF-Club Record: 241/11, Int. Record-0/0.

9) MF-Club Record: 452/109, Int. Record-87/17.
I've been successful in my home country in South America, but despite spells in Spain, Italy and Turkey I've never been able to shine this side of the Atlantic.

10) FW-Club Record: 257/78, Int. Record-30/6.
A Scandinavian by birth, I've played in 3 Western European countries, but never been as prolific as some of the illustrious strikers who once wore the same shirt I did.
Answer-Markus Rosenberg.
11) FW-Club Record: 351/144, Int. Record-55/24.
I share a club with number 10, though we had equally as frustrating spells there and in another Western European country. I'm much more successful in my homeland, which borders the club we both shared and who helped co-host a major final with my homeland.
Answer-Wesley Sonck.
