Marcelo

Born in Rio de Janeiro, Marcelo faced early challenges. With various constraints, his grandfather Pedro was his key inspiration, supporting him financially to pursue football. When Pedro passed away during the 2014 FIFA World Cup, Marcelo continued to play with the squad to honour him.

Marcelo started at Fluminense and quickly impressed, transferring to Real Madrid in 2007. He faced pressure succeeding Roberto Carlos but thrived through resilience. His contributions were key to Real Madrid’s European dominance.

Ian Wright

Born in 1963 in Woolwich, London, Ian Wright overcame a tough childhood. Inspired by teacher Sydney Pigden, he tried football at 14 but was rejected.

Undeterred, Wright persevered. After rising through Crystal Palace, he joined Arsenal in 1991, winning two FA Cups, a League Cup, an European Cup-Winners’ Cup, and a Premier League title.

Iván Córdoba

Rising from Rionegro’s streets, Córdoba overcame difficulties. After local football, he joined Medellin’s Atletico Nacional, then moved to Argentina’s San Lorenzo.

He became a world-class defender, winning two league titles. Colombians cherish his 2001 Copa America Final goal against Mexico that secured the trophy.

Miroslav Klose

Miroslave Klose didn’t join a youth academy. He trained as a carpenter while playing for an amateur club. At 21, a scout discovered him.

Klose debuted in the Bundesliga in 2000, scoring 16 goals in 2001-02. Just three years after playing in Germany’s fifth tier, he announced himself at the 2002 FIFA World Cup with a hat-trick on debut.

Jerzy Dudek

Jerzy Dudek began his career at a low-league club in the small town of Knurow. Destined for a miner’s life like his family, he worked in the mines twice weekly until he was 17 years old.

Just two weeks before starting full-time mining, a third-division club signed him. After journeying through various clubs, his career peaked memorably with Liverpool FC, creating the legendary “Miracle of Istanbul” in the 2005 UEFA Champions League final.

Antonio Di Natale

Udinese, Serie A’s second-oldest club, was long overlooked. But Di Natale transformed them, rejecting lucrative offers to rewrite their history.

His seven goals secured Udinese’s fourth place (2004-05) clinching their first UEFA Champions League spot. After 12 seasons, he retired as Udinese’s all-time top scorer and Serie A’s sixth-highest scorer.

Unlock all Grassroot Greats rewards to choose one of the rewards: URP Mascherano, 107 OVR ST Toney, or a 105-111 OVR Grassroot Greats Player (untradable).
