During the 2016/17 season, the likes of Phil Foden and Jadon Sancho - both then playing for Manchester City - had nowhere near the same publicity they experience today. What were once two plucky English teenagers hoping to find their feet at one of the biggest enterprises in Europe are now some of the most notable names in the Premier League.

Former Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez was told by Vladimir Smicer that he had no respect for the midfielder, just days before he went on to score in the iconic Champions League final. The Czech international was set to leave Liverpool at the end of the 2004/05 season, and wanted an emotional Anfield farewell before heading out to Istanbul for the final.

But Benitez denied Smicer the chance to have one final run out at Anfield, and the pair were embroiled in a heated verbal exchange after the game. However, Smicer ultimately gave Liverpool fans the perfect send off, as he was a major part of one of their greatest ever successes.
