Remember Milan Baros? Well, he's officially completed his 11th transfer of his professional career by securing a move back to one of his many former clubs.
The 35-year-old (how is he only 35?!) has played for a host of clubs including Czech outfit Banik Ostrava. And Baros has returned to his first pro club for an incredible fourth spell.
Baros started his career with Banik graduating from the youth ranks before getting his debut in 1998. After four seasons in the Czech first league, he signed with Liverpool for £3.2 million.

But only managed the single appearance in his debut season after delays in his work permit. Though in the following campaign, Baros bagged 12 goals in all competitions.
His time at Anfield will be most remembered for winning the coveted Champions League in 2005, spearheading the attack on that famous night Istanbul, Turkey.

He experienced spells with Aston Villa, Lyon, Portsmouth and Galatasaray before returning to Banik. He left one year later but returned the following year.
And after two seasons away from Banik, he once again heads back home for his fourth spell. Baros is revered as a hero in Ostrava, and is even dubbed the 'Ostravan Maradona.'
"Immensely appreciate that as a player Milan Baroš again teamed up with his name Banik," the clubs sporting director told the website.
"Who watched the spring performances of Liberec, he had seen there that Milan was one of the key players and the team leader. Exactly what you expect from him too. In addition, we gain a genuine patriot baníkovského that pushes young players their years of experience."

"We were in contact. I felt great interest both from Liberec and from Banik, heart and decided this dilemma. I believe in Liberec me understand just wish the club good. About abroad, I never thought," Baros said about linking up with Banik, again.
"We sit down with Radim Kucera and arrange for another plan. We will solve it gradually. But now I want to refute some speculation that I commute just one training session before the match. It really is nonsense and I know that I and the Premier League could not, and did not want to work."
