Football: Top 15 footballers who are/were more famous than their clubs (With Pictures)

12. Raich Carter – Hull City

Up until 2008, Hull City had never reached the top flight of English football, but that hadn’t stopped them from having one of the true greats of the English game grace their team. Rich Carter was considered one of the best players in the world both shortly before and after WWII, and although he was 35 when he joined Hull City, he was still a superstar of his era. 33,000 people witnessed his debut at Boothferry Park in an era that co-incided with Hull’s highest ever crowds. Even the Tigers away games would see bumper crowds, with Second Division teams keen to see the England great in action. Carter went on to spend four years as Hull City’s player/manager.
