6. Memphis Depay – Holland
Did you know Memphis Depay nearly turned his back on football for a career in rap music?
When he was first making his breakthrough into the Eredivise club’s starting line up, the young winger was so into his rap music (apparently, he is a very talented MC) that then manager Fred Rutten ordered him to make a choice between a career in music or a career in football. Luckily he chose the latter.
