David Odonkor
[4] A product of Borussia Dortmund's youth ranks, he made his first-team debut on 3 March 2002, having recently turned 18, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 1–1 home draw against FC St. Pauli.[10] Having made his way back into the German squad and the Betis starting lineup, Odonkor would however undergo surgery on his knee for a third time in the country, only being reinstated during the 2008–09 winter transfer window.Betis returned to the Spanish top flight at the end of 2010–11, but Odonkor played no part in the club's campaign, again due to injury.[19] He made his full debut on 30 May 2006 in a friendly match with Japan,[20] going on to appear as a substitute in four World Cup games, most notably against Poland in the group stage where he displayed an excellent performance and assisted Oliver Neuville's winning goal in stoppage time.[21] Despite his problems with injuries at Betis, Odonkor was called up to UEFA Euro 2008 by Joachim Löw,[22] where he featured 45 minutes in the 1–2 loss to Croatia.
