    You are the man if you can get this one, because it is pretty obscure. Well, if you're a fan of a particular Spanish club [here's the hint] then you should get it.

    Yes, Alcantara was born in the Philippines. His father was Spanish, his mother Filipino. He was capped for both countries, but only played 5 games for Spain, 2 for the Philippines, and he left the game to pursue a career as a doctor.

    He tallied an amazing 374 goals in 375 games.
