Something wrong?An Egyptian striker who never settled - 11 clubs across six countries in 14 years, bouncing from Ajax to Tottenham to Middlesbrough and back to Zamalek twice, collecting loans like postcards and leaving before the ink dried.

About this person
Ahmed Hossam Hussein, known as Mido, came out of Zamalek in 1999 at sixteen and was in Belgium by 2000, where the Ebony Shoe at Gent opened the door to Ajax in 2001. Loans to Celta Vigo and Marseille followed before Roma bought him in 2004, then Tottenham took him on loan in 2005 and made it permanent a year later. He lasted one season before Middlesbrough, then four more loans - Wigan, Zamalek again, West Ham, Ajax again - until he rejoined Zamalek outright in 2011. Fifty-one caps for Egypt, nineteen goals, and a stop at Barnsley in 2012 before retiring in June 2013, the route behind him a zigzag across two continents.
