If he played his cards right, he might be set for life

>>149957064
Agreed. Its depressive if he was injured, but if not it was his call to stay there. Thats the issue with every 3rd GK at a big club, they could get playtime anywhere else

Yeah yeah money is the only thing that matters in life, I get it, please move on. Just post players who don't play a lot.

>>149957161
The point is not many people stay for 14 years in a job they hate... or ... do they ?

>>149957194
The point is I don't give a fuck. I just put that title without thinking. Fuck off already.

lmao I didn't even realize that. Insane.

When I think about J U S T careers, Varejao comes to mind
>play in Cleveland with the next best thing, LeBron, for many years
>the team constantly makes the playoffs but never enough to win it all
>he leaves to make his super team leaving you with the rest of of the bums
>meanwhile LeBron wins back-to-back
>finally a more experienced LeBron returns and it is looking good
>but when it seemed that it was finally your turn some youngsters from fucking Golden State that no one heard before start winning with memechucking, not only beating you in the finals, but changing the sport forever
>the next year they are even better
>you join them mid season for a free ring
>Warriors beat the record with most wins in a season
>Cleveland -Golden State finals again
>your team is winning tye series 3-1
>be the first team in the history of the NBA to lose a 3-1 lead
>not only that, you lost vs the team you left mid-season, the team you stayed more than a decade with, the one you stayed with even when their homestar left
>next season you leave the team and the league after playing like 15 games in 5 months
>the team you left midseason is the champion again (and next year also)
>they gave you a pity ring

I don't know, maybe he was the best Brazilian basketball player, seeing the teams you were with only immediatly after you left them or just before you arrived, I don't know how I would managed that.
I know it's not what you were looking for Panabro, but that's what came to mind

Unironically Chicharito, he had a shitload of potential but he's a huge cuck right now, a shadow of his former self.

>>149957194
who says they hate their job? Maybe they don't care, maybe they fulfill other important roles like coaching younger players, maybe they actually like playing less games. Not everyone is unhappy unless they play Champions League finals.

>shitload of potential
Did he? not just hating, but he had a good season in 2009/10 and a good world cup but thats basically it. In Manchester United (when he still was young) the most he scored in a full season were 13 goals. His best scoring season was in Leverkusen with 17 goals
Thinking he played for Real Madrid at one point feels like mandela effect

shit thread because everyone who is able to play sports for a living is a success story. the depressing careers are those who break their leg at 15, get released from the youth team with no education, and work construction for the rest of their life.

>>149957431
that is pretty incredible kek

>>149956748 (OP)
He made a living playing football. There's nothing depressing about that

Stuart Taylor became notorious for this.

>Taylor spent most of his career as a third-choice goalkeeper, only making 95 career appearances. He currently runs his own goalkeeping academy.

>In an interview with the New York Times in December 2017, Taylor talked about his career and the frustrations he had at barely playing and becoming known for being a third-choice keeper: "There is definitely a perception of me... [as a man who] loves going round clubs, earning money for doing nothing." He dismissed suggestions that he "sits around doing nothing, turning up for training, having a jolly, messing about" and had become wealthy after spending so long in the Premier League, saying that when his playing career ends "I will have to work. People assume I have made serious money. I really haven't." He said that "every coach I have had, every goalkeeper I have worked with, has said I should have played 200 or 300 Premier League games. I look back at it and think the same."

He had a genuinely odd career. Still managed to win the PL and a FA Cup when he was at Arsenal so...

>5 consecutive world championship finals
