13. Southampton – Jose Fonte
Debut: January 2010
Jose Fonte’s journey as a late bloomer has been nothing short of incredible. He joined Southampton in the depths of League One back in 2010, debuting against Millwall, and was a part of the side that earned back to back promotions to return to the Premier League.
The Saints captain has since become one of the best centre-backs in the top flight and even began an international career for Portugal which gave him Euro 2016 glory this summer.
