Pele to Genoa?

Hidden among the transfer activity of CR9 and Oguchi Onyewu, I noticed that Pele had transferred from Portsmouth to Genoa. Which got me thinking, "why didn't I know that Pele was still playing" and "when did he come out of retirement?" Well, if you clicked on the link you will see that we have yet another youngster bitin' the name of a legend (Yes, I'm talking to you, Cristiano). So this little move got me thinking about the other transfers that you may not have heard as much about.


Marcus Hahnemann to Wolverhampton Wanderers
The Seattle native left Reading on a free transfer after 8 years with the club. He started with them when they were in the second division and was part of their great run to the Premier League. He signed a one year contract with the Wolves.


David Edgar to Burnley
Not to be confused with The Dreaded Goggled Gladiator™, Edgar Davids, this 22 year old Canadian defender left Newcastle in search of first team football in the Premiership. His old man played one game for the Barcodes before he landed with the NY Cosmos.


Dean Windass to Darlington
I've always admired the guy for two things. 1) Willing to keep his last name, and 2) playing until he dies of old age. The 40 year old striker has no plans to retire and scored in the Premier league at a ripe old age of 39. In true movie script fashion, the hometown boy from Hull scored the 2008 goal to propel Hull City to the Premiership for the first time in club history.


Paul Heckingbottom to Mansfield Town
- All I can say is...could you imagine a 3v3 team with him, Windass and Shittu? I would love to hear John Motson call that game.

And one last note, it's now official, Obertan is a Red Devil.
