German shot-stopper Lutz Pfannenstiel is famous for two things: Almost dying during a football match and playing for a ridiculous amount of clubs.
In total the globe-trotting goalie has turned out for twenty nine (count 'em) teams (six of those being amateur sides) in thirteen different countries, in the process becoming the only footballer to have played professionally on every continent.
Currently the Brobdingnagian Bavarian plys his trade with Clube Atlético Hermann Aichinger in Brazil's Série C. He has previously enjoyed stints with Wimbledon, Nottingham Forest and the mighty Dunedin Technical!
The man himself reckons his round-the-world record will never be matched as, in his own words "...there aren't many people as crazy as me!"
Still, with all that travelling I'd hate to think of his carbon footprint.
