Top 10 Career Comebacks

[@XxDavidxXArsenalXx]

Shouldn't cannavaro be higher? I mean winning the ballon'dor and the World Cup as part of your comeback doesn't get much better

[@rko95ful]

I remember watching Forlan in 2010 World Cup, he was a beast. I like him both on and off pitch. Great human being.

[@erikjakobsson5]

The memories...

[@rko95ful]

+Erik Jakobsson his equalizer against Netherlands still gives me chills.

[@cecidapino1892]

He is one of my favorite players 😀 ( just in case ur wondering , he still plays)

[@spoonyyeon5461]

Goal against Germany is one of my all time favorites

[@jamesrampton6274]

Lol I hated him I thought he was a prick

[@chrisrougue]

Kevin De Bryune wasnt really a comeback, it was just a huge mistake on Chelsea's part, similar to United and Paul Pogba.

[@LORDPEACH99]

I agree, may aswell put Harry Kane in the list too because he didn't score for the first couple weeks of the season and now he's banging them in

[@pl0x1337PwnEpix]

No. You need to realize that some players simply do not fit in to their tactical systems under certain managers. This is the reason these comebacks happen.

[@petetong118]

+Manchester C not really. He just wasn't that good at Chelsea. Pogba was a youth player, ready to step up to the first team, while de bruyne was actually an established player when he went to wolfsburg. Not many people knew of Pogba when he first joined Juventus.

[@CaptainxBacon]

do a list of people who came from non-league football to the bigtime. e.g: vardy. austin etc

[@oliverstergaard61]

Yes do that!

[@samuellarsson101]

+Harry Spencer i'm loving these players. Add dwight gayle

[@adilhussain1765]

Like the idea.

[@Joe-nt3gd]

great Idea mate

[@elhutchosnr2062]

Can't forget Ian Wright

[@daxxkid101]

Putting Giovinco here because he's done well in the MLS. May as well put Joe Cole in here because he's doing well at Coventry now.

[@aivarlobjakas]

+HCH Millwall Yeah, it's like saying Drogba is in the form of his life at the ripe old age of 37, because he's scored 12 goals in 12 appearances in the MLS.

[@hishamkhan370]

Haha yes

[@knoxieman99]

exactly what I was thinking lol

[@LucasChro]

Except that giovinco still gets onto his national team sides.

[@jayantlal3686]

lel

[@davekent6023]

No Pogba? He was crap at United, did better at Juve and now made a comeback to being crap.

[@bryane727]

Looool

[@noobyninja736]

Dave Kent so true

[@theanomity3185]

Nahhh, he wasnt crap at united, he showcased his abilities at Juve and THEN he became crap

[@Platikum]

What about Pirlo? Everybody thought that his career was over when he signed for Juve, or maybe Ben Arfa? he was crucial in Newcastle

[@bobby9458]

Pirlo is overrated people only like him because he is good at free kicks and has a nice beard

[@Tttb95]

+Nick Ronaldo Pirlo didnt really dip in form like these guys. He was always at least above average, and on a good day world class.

[@adandad777]

Pirlo doesn't really work on this list because he never really declined as a player before or when he joined Juventus. Only reason he left Milan was because they weren't willing to pay such an old player such high wages, so he left for Juventus who would. Whilst it's a better shout, I wouldn't have Ben Arfa on this list either because his setbacks have mostly been of his own creation (particularly his appalling attitude), unlike a genuine setback thats come out of nowhere (e.g. Ramsey and his leg break).

[@gunnarelisigurjonsson2587]

+Nick Ronaldo he who doubted Pirlo was blind ;) Milan where stupid . and pirlo proved that pretty well :P

[@giovanni21mas]

+Robert Vuksanovich u ok?

[@Tom-lf9rl]

Coquelin maybe? An honourable mention at least, ummm dont have any others

[@jensnotdoxxingmyself8210]

agreed

[@jensnotdoxxingmyself8210]

+Callum beeing loaned out all the time and now coming back and starting at one of the best pl clubs but I agree very average!

[@ykklan]

+Callum Average? hahaha

[@kookieklub9064]

Coquelin is still young and can prove a lot more and he wasn't in a big hole like the players in the video

[@mudkipjuice]

Coq is alright but he hasnt really had a "comeback". He's young and is growing, proving himself (tho imo our fans give him a bit more credit than he's earned)

[@jackcooper3307]

Going to the MLS is what you do at the end of your career. Not the sign of a great revival..

[@KaizerMan]

"Bergkamp's move to Arsenal to play under Arsene Wenger" Actually Bergkamp moved to play under Bruce Rioch. Wenger wasn't manager yet

[@RHNGaming]

Kaizer-Man that's what I thought!

[@santiagobauza4257]

Kaizer-Man Rioch is actually the man in the picture at his presentation

[@LiamK2292]

I'm stunned that Sam Hutchinson hasn't been mentioned. His story is unbelievable. He's with us now and he's been fantastic.

[@silverygold.6118]

+Liam Kelly what's his story?

[@LiamK2292]

silVerY GOLd. Came through the ranks at Chelsea. Stopped playing football in 2010 after a serious knee problem... Came back after talking to Ryan Bertrand and the doctors at Chelsea encouraged him to try and it worked wonders. Chelsea rated him highly. We had him on loan initially then signed him permanently.

[@fabulousnarwhal7606]

+Liam Kelly wednesday 3-0 arsenal

[@EdwinLuciano]

Thierry Henry had a bad spell at Juventus after a nice start at Monaco only to come back and be the beast we all know at Arsenal.

[@ale7sani]

+Edwin Luciano agreed

[@acfooty1435]

shearer is better sorry

[@KaizerMan]

Shearer is more prolific but Henry is better. Simple as that

[@alexanderthorne635]

Bale struggled at Tottenham initially because he was played at Left Back. When he was moved forward into a Left Winger position he found his niche and went on from there.

[@CroWen493]

De Bruyne was made in Werder Bremen NOT in Wolfsburg :(

[@henryrowe2282]

No he wasn't…

[@Thebigman4413]

Wtf..

[@CroWen493]

Henry Rowe TheMexicanGamer If Bremen didnt borrowed him for one Season he had never moved to Wolfsburg !!! He played a great Season at Bremen aswell before he moved to Wolfsburg !

[@triggerhappy262plus2]

+CroWen493 you are correct. he went on loan

[@gastoncalzato3332]

You should do a video of the opposite - Players who started their career off brightly and then failed

[@mike365fly]

+Gaston Calzato then you should check out faded footballers on twitter

[@LORDPEACH99]

Number 1 has to be Robinho, massively shit 😂

[@seblopez8770]

So in terms of teams... Arsenal?

[@pl0x1337PwnEpix]

Pato.

[@shaanrahman9777]

Torres

[@L3ONARDO07]

Lmao people in the comments don't know what a comeback is, Paul Pogba, Zlatan and Pirlo are not examples of comebacks. Those are just players that have always been good, but you didn't know who they were before because you didn't watch football or just watch one league. And Pogba practically started his professional career in Juventus, since he was just a kid at Man U when they sold him. Pique also moved from Man U to Barca to, it's not called a comeback.. They were just young players who didn't fit into the manager's plans. Happens all the time. Eric Cantona. Now that's a good example of comeback who didn't make the list.

[@SylvanWWFC]

Lovren is setting himself up for one of these..

[@h3nder]

He will end up with more goals then entire Man U together. :(

[@hags8652]

Congrats for 1 mil subs!!!

[@xLFCxMikey]

No Henderson? Awful first season, nearly swapped over to Fulham for Clint Dempsey but stayed to become a key player for Liverpool and England and ultimately becoming the man to take over the captaincy from Steven Gerrard.

[@Bonko78]

I was missing Henrik Larsson on this list. He was in great form while playing at Celtic when he suffered a broken leg (similar to Ramsey) and his career was thought to be over. Yet he came back in even better form, including a few seasons in Barcelona (super-subbing in the the '06 CL win) and a short stint at Man United.

[@bsmolina92]

damn you guys didn't even acknowledge forlan was at villareal before atl madrid, he was great there too

[@dennisjohnson4365]

Yeah he was top scorer in la liga and won golden boot.... Small clubs are always discriminated

[@ALsabeast145]

Europa league final... Athletico vs Fulham.... How times have changed

[@TheMantisShrimp]

I don't see how you can miss Arjen Robben. Great young talent, excellent at Chelsea, flopped at Madrid, then become one of the best in the world for Bayern and for Holland.

[@prithviprakash1110]

Where on earth is Vardy? He got let go by Sheffield Wednesday ffs.

[@bryane727]

Might aswell put the whole leicester team

[@0twosevenn]

lucky I never had to deal with any of this

[@dylanjones2167]

Great video.

[@TheBroadCPFC]

Damien Delaney should've been included - he wasn't playing for Ipswich, he was going to give football up, but came to Palace and got us promoted - 3 years on and he's still going.

[@enzofermo990]

Maradona had to come back from a horrific ankle injury while at Barcelona . many said he wouldn't be able to play anymore but he did and went on to become one, if not the best, of all time.

[@BAGGY296]

Ronaldo and Cannavaro are the best by far!!

[@Possessed_Beats]

i fully agree with this list. well done

[@Possessed_Beats]

paul scholes would have been a good shout tho. when he came out of retirement and won the fa cup. ;)

[@ale7sani]

Koeman with Bayern. His story is not yet complete this season, and one can argue he was developing in PSG and Juventus. Wesley Sneijder. He didnt enjoy a successful spell in Madrid, but his move to Inter, especially when coached by Mourinho was very successful. He managed to carry that to the world cup 2010 (Maybe Robben too?) Hernandez Chicarito. Last season he was loaned out to Madrid after failing to perform well consistently under Moyes and Van Gaal a bit. This year he is scoring a lot (note, season is not over, things could change)

[@laithsaleh9825]

Where dafuc is our lord as saviour PIRLO?

[@adzter96]

Ian Harte dropped to conference or league two football with Carlisle and moved back to the premier league with Reading a few years later

[@razor360i]

Torres should be on the list, he scored on the weekend! The kid is back 😁!

[@notoriousthugz5091]

I can think of few you missed.How could you forget phenomen Jamie Vardy especially since his recent form.Also Coquelin is one of those who surprised us with his playing level since he was playing in lower eng league and now he is Arsenal key midfield along with Ozil,Cazorla and Sanchez !!? Also Salah and Dzeko are having great season with Roma despite being benched in England.You could even put Morata.He was desperate at Real and missed every chance that he score regulary now.

[@OPTIC23100]

Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez?

[@h3nder]

Yeah

[@vigilantcitizen8542]

Honourable mention for Jamie Vardy? Geez was selling ket in Ibiza not so long ago, and now look at him! Top scorer in the league at the mo

[@ilax3071]

+Vigilant Citizen thats not a comeback....

[@mdhcccc]

Fucking dumbass

[@JamesTaylor-fc4bm]

There's great advert for Ross Barkley out now and they told him he would never play again and now One of the perms best players

[@notorious9832]

4:27 Berkhamp is smiling!

[@weezerfan42069]

Ramsey wasn't born in Cardiff, he's from Caerphilly

[@imTequahh]

Where is Craig Gordon?

[@feighaneu3057]

Conceding 2 goals to Molde

[@leonardovelez9158]

Lol

[@amdcaaa]

+Bob Bobertson turn down for what

[@Debaraptor]

+SuperdryWanker probably at his house

[@louisanthony4675]

The Lord Bendtener is to good he's never had a down spell. Ask anyone, he's won the same amount of ballon d'ors as iniesta, giggs, scholes, Bale, Neymar, Neuer, Di Maria, Suarez, Benzema all put together

[@caduzera99]

Thiago Silva should definitely be on this list. Who else knows his history? He is a Beast!

[@AsdcavirGamingzone]

Diego Milito? Such a class striker in Inter Milan

[@andyangchannel]

Torres. 9 goals in half a season at Atletico and now back to scoring again.

[@wedat7904]

pastore? he was a big talent but then everything goes wrong from 2012 till 2014 and now he is one of the best midfielders this year👊

[@benkabir18]

thierry henry - wasn't doing well at juventus, then he came to arsenal and became our best ever player

[@whufc-essex]

downing flopped at liverpool, and at whu for a season but then excelled now he is in good form for boro

[@conorhill9758]

+nick whufc He went from Liverpool to West Ham to Boro, not really a comeback

[@whufc-essex]

At villa and boro he was quality, then flopped at liverpool, only to kick start his career.

[@Abzthekid]

Chris Smalling? I remember him having a tough time for a whole at United however now he has probably been their best player.

[@RickyPro888]

Gareth Bale = Left back > Left Wing > Centre Mid > Striker > Right Wing... Where will he go next???

[@daniellightfoot8999]

Forlán, how can you talk about him and ignore the 2010 World Cup or 2011 copa America??

[@georgesweeney59]

Danielle Heavyhand I just thinking that. in that world cup he was a king among kings

[@CodsVlogs]

Should do Teams That have Got from non league to league like fleetwoof 6 pomotions in 10 years

[@Greg-kk8vu]

Bergkamp didn't sign for Arsenal to play for Wenger, he was signed by Bruce Rioch

[@benhealey535]

would say Torres but haven't seen him recently at Atletico Madrid

[@Pz123]

what team is Dortmund playing with aubamenyang in the pic

[@gabokillerx]

well in mls is easier to score....

[@DeveanAtkinson]

+Profesor Damm “GKX” Who cares

[@Bosnianfriends]

+Profesor Damm “GKX” to be fair, he's broken into the first 11 for Italy and he is their biggest threat when playing

[@michaelyo874]

+Bosnianfriends No, .......... WTF do u even know italian starting 11 ..... Zaza and Immobile and even Pelle are better then him and in first 11..

[@Bosnianfriends]

Michael Yo not first 11 I meant first team, but Giovinco is preferred more than Zaza and Immobile hasn't played in the team for a while. Giovinco however, does make a great impact when he comes on so i wouldn't be surprised if he starts to be one of the first names on the sheet.

[@DaveWraptastic]

+Profesor Damm ‘GKX’ Seriously, what a joke to add that guy to this list. The MLS is MAYBE on the same level as the League 2 in England. You cannot call a move to the MLS a comeback, ever.

[@arransahdra4475]

Vardy!

[@Whykles98]

Lol no

[@alexnyman4070]

he has never been good before :/ so its not a comeback, but yes its amazing how good he has become after playing at such a low level

[@stylerize377]

+Arran sahdra A comeback suggests that a player was once really good in the past before they went from under performaning to playing amazing, Vardy was never good in the past?

[@slowedreverbedstation3236]

Bale did Great in Spurs!

[@leesonfamily5084]

Cheeky photobomb from Sir Alex Ferguson +4:30

[@Ryan-zu5vg]

Grant holt? Played in singapore for a period of time

[@LiLiBurkeTron]

Maybe an honorable mention for Chicharito?

[@ohnonotchrisfail]

Even Copa90 forgot that Gerard Pique was a Utd player once

[@bentao8215]

riquelme would be an honourable mention... Hopefully Pato will make this list someday

[@egerggreerg8268]

Fabio Grosso? Went from playing in lower Italian leagues, to deciding the world cup final in less than 5 years

[@vanillaaut3406]

Angel di Maria from Real Madrid to Man U the good again at psg

[@far8]

torres and falcao

[@christophalbers9865]

Coquelin, Ribery and Valbuena.

[@mike365fly]

Nicklas Bendtner?

[@harrywhite9166]

+Play-a-maker Are you implying he was ever bad??

[@franghan]

You've put Shingi Kagawa, but no Éric Cantona? From the brink of retirement, and exclusion from his NT to Premier League and Manchester United legend status.

[@rocky1169pt]

+franghan and Shingi Kagawa hasnt been that great at B. Dortmund since returning...

[@whitetroutchannel]

no jonas guiterrez?? id say beating cancer and scoring a crucial goal in keeping your club in the league would count for a pretty good comeback

[@collisfelix965]

No pirlo? After inter he went to milan and played well then they deemed him surplus, then he went to juve and we all know how valuable he was..

[@jimjam407]

Collis Felix no Milan thought he was too old to perform. That's not really a comeback

[@dsanchez9703]

Roberto Baggio 1997-98 with Bologña

[@nit1991in]

1:58 I jumped in my seat.

[@James-b4d]

You could say Zlatan Ibrahimovic? He wasn't great for Juve or Barcelona but the man just got better with age

[@mohaddishashmi2661]

he was great with Barca, he just had a bad relationship with pep

[@L3ONARDO07]

+Mohaddis Hashmi Yup and he wasn't bad at all with Juve either. He was great with Ajax and phenomenal with Inter too.

[@myyentertainment3386]

Wait and see our lord Bendtner... sooon

[@KushGangarD]

Everyone loves a good comeback story, right? Seabiscuit? The Mighty Ducks?

[@joshcozens]

Mike Smalling? The player that fans wished to be sold after the red card against City. Now he is One of the best defenders in the prem and is a future Manchester United captain.

[@WhatUrYaLookinAtMyGutFer]

Mike lol

[@mzakt7]

What a Man utd fan, cant even spell his players name properly

[@MrLegomaster21]

Including 2 goals in the Europa League Final against.. Fulham *claps*

[@ThePerrylong]

bobby Charlton? in a plane crash where most his team mates died he then went on to win the European cup and world cup

[@davidbloomfield5958]

Everyone's saying Rickie Lambert and Jamie Vard when where's Charlie Austin? His story is both better than theirs.

[@seifeldeeb4746]

mohamed salah of course

[@chriskaye8235]

U don't mention AVB who allowed to plays in more attacking style and how he was only signed by Madrid as he scored 31 goals in 2013 for Spurs

[@abs2fast2furios]

where is Robben?

[@SeattleBoy81]

Where's Robben? From having his career ruined at Real Madrid to European player of the year and the treble with Bayern

[@Mod1Tk]

what about Cantona? His career looked over until he came to England!

[@vitorramos6103]

Jonas Gutierrez maybe...

[@evolutioncreed9919]

fun fact: playing fifa 14 as Wolfsburg manager i bought De Bruyne and then sold him to City

[@conorhill9758]

Everyone suggesting Jamie Vardy need to look up the definition of a comeback

[@pallmallpunch]

Basically, be patient. The media and the amount of money in the game will try to sway you to be fickle. But don't. Talent and work ethic will tell in time.

[@leonribotta9775]

What the hell? Where's Totti? He tore his ACL the season before the 2006 World Cup in a Serie A game against Empoli and came back scoring the winning 92nd minute penalty against New Zealand that let Italy to the semis of the biggest tournament in Football.

[@mcardy250]

You forgot Pirlo and his move to Juventus

[@irvingamarro3455]

Forlan is the greatest player to live

[@cecidapino1892]

Yesss😀

[@jojag5]

It wasn't so much that Kagawa played poorly for United, a lot of it was that the managers refused to play him.

[@patrickoreilly2595]

Ronaldo has to be number 1 in terms of genuine comebacks. Most players would have been crippled by the injuries he suffered. He won a world cup. He probably lost about 30% of his playing capacity and still managed to dominate la liga when he was fat.

[@fjorton3939]

U forgot that werder bremen is the reason why de bruyne is what he is right now

[@sinclairadu6843]

What about Pogba? Went from being a Man Utd Reject to being one of the best midfielders in the world

[@danielchandc]

Thierry Henry? He started out as the new star at Monaco, played out of position at Juve, Wenger knew best and he became one of the deadliest strikers, if not the deadliest in the history of BPL and in the world...

[@jonathanpertzborn1850]

gundogan maybe. very similar do kagawa

[@stephenr567]

Jamie vardy maybe and charlie Austin

[@marioloks123]

what about Miguel Layun. He's made a great comeback since he played for America.

[@rocky1169pt]

+Mario Garcia ive heard of what he went through. and now he's been perfect for FC Porto. hopefully Porto will activate his buy-out clause.

[@lucasconde2407]

Fuck off he's shit

[@rocky1169pt]

Lucas Conde as a FC Porto supporter, there are various adjectives i can use to describe him and shit isnt one of them. he might not be 1 a top left back but clearly has a great potential. btw when he started for America, he was blamed for every mistake, including became the significant of making a mistake but nowadays he's 1 of the best mexican players.
