Thomas Hitzlsperger

Position         : Midfielder

Date of birth : 5 April, 1982

Team              : Aston Villa (England)

Nationality     : Germany

Notes              : Was highly rated by Bayern Munich who thought he could have a bright future at the club. He was involved in the World U/17 Championship in New Zealand in 1999. German clubs cannot offer contracts to players under the age of 19 and instead of signing for Bayern Munich he completed a free transfer to Aston Villa instead.
