Thomas Gravesen has kept a low profile since retiring from professional football in 2008, but the former midfielder has certainly been busy.
The ex-Danish international, who was nicknamed “Mad Dog”, is a familiar face, having spent five years playing for Everton. He is also fondly remembered, if somewhat through slight bemusement, for joining Real Madrid at the height of the club’s Galatico era.
Gravesen was a solid defensive-minded midfielder, but to see him playing alongside the likes of Roberto Carlos, Zinedine Zidane and Ronaldo was slightly odd. After a year in Madrid, he moved to Celtic, where he won the Scottish Premiership title.
