Your a pro-footballer you go to 4 clubs - 1st clubs got to be local (age range 17-21), 2nd got to be were you develop build a bit of a name (21-24), 3rd peak of your career anywhere you want (24-31), 4th your final pay day in your twilight years (31-35).....

Mine: 

Australia  MVFC - where i was born so make sense also biggest club in Australia.
Holland Ajax - being early 20s in Amsterdam would be sick place to live, Ajax also is top club to go too development wise
England Manchester United - been following them for a long time plus they pay crazy money, English speaking country etc Also get to play UCL 
USA LA Galaxy - finish my football career in LA as a marquee settle down with a beach side property in a relaxed city..... 

what's you 4 club career?

Good question. 

1. South Coast United - as a kid from the bush, they were my team in the NSW top flight before the NSL started, and they had Peter Wilson as captain. I guess they have morphed into Wollongong Wolves.
2. AEK Athens - my wife is part Greek, and the Greek lifestyle would be brilliant.
3. Yep, Manchester United fan since I was very young, so a no brainer there, and the pay is not to be sneezed at.
4. FC Tokyo - What an opportunity to play in a developing Football nation. Great people, and a pretty good Football culture.

In the perfect dream world due to family blood lines to start with.

1. APIA 2yrs then to SydUnited.
2. Porto, this country has been punching out good players in the past and last 10yrs even better, plus the wife is Portugese.
3. LFC - a dream move to play Anfield in front of the Kop and nail a hat trick at OT :).
4. Primera Div De Chile - Colo Colo, luv that part of the world, good football, good food good wine and nice women :)

Ha Ha .... let me re-write this one for you in CFG speak. 

1/ You start off with a promising career at a decent A-League club before CFG steal you away with the promise of a Mooy-like European dream. 

2/ You sign and play for Melb City for a couple of seasons but never win a trophy of note, you get used to choking in big games though. 

3/ You sign for Man City in a dream deal, but immediately get loaned out to some third tier outfit and game time is few and far between. 

4/ Time flys by and after 3 years you re-sign for City to “kick start your career” but in reality, by age 28, your best years are behind you and you drift in to anonymity while a constant stream of “Australia best young players” arrive at the club and start ahead of you.

When you say local,  do you mean local to me now, or local when I was 17-21??

when you where that age (assuming your older then that now)

I’d be more than happy spending my entire career at Adelaide United.

If I were to go overseas, it would have to be the right club (preferably in England or the Netherlands) and I would only leave if I have won the Premiership, the Championship and the FFA Cup. I would finish my career at Adelaide as well.

At least Leeds had an opportunity to re-join the top flight..... Can you imagine if the FA said to Leeds 16 years ago "your out now and will never ever be given a chance to play in the EPL again"?

USA LA Galaxy - finish my football career in LA as a marquee settle down with a beach side property in a relaxed city..... 

what's you 4 club career?


Footballaget Fart- My continual exaltation of the club name would ensure I would be the favourite player with the fans, even if none of them wanted to get near me to tell me so.
Deportivo Moron- My spiritual home along with my fellow Morons. As an added bonus, I could go down the road and watch Velez play when I wasn't.
Cape Coast Mysterious Ebusua Dwarfs- With their kits like the socceroos, I could imagine I'm representing my country as I toughed it out on the far away Ghanaian fields. I could also finally learn what the mystery is.
Muscat FC - As early onset dementia set in whilst not actually being able to play anymore, i would become a club legend with my constant walking around asking "Where's Kevin?" "I thought Kevin was going to be here?"

Special mentions- Sadly, Deportivo Wanka are no longer operating, but it would have been nice to also play for los wankeros.
Ditto for Thai Tobacco Monopoly, who it seems, just like consumers of their leafy product, were doomed to a shorter lifespan than others.

Leeds - Supported since 91 - so not as long as CO - but its been an interesting ride
Bali United or FC Goa - chill by the beach..
