Position | Defender/Centre back |
A fine Swiss centre-back who came to prominence at Arsenal due to the injury absence of Sol Campbell.
Philippe Senderos scored the first goal in the 2-0 win against South Korea in the 2006 World Cup finals as Switzerland progressed beyond the group stage for the second time since 1938.
Unluckily, he dislocated a shoulder in the same game and missed the rest of the tournament.
Philippe joined Fulham in July 2010 with a three-year contract that was extended to June 2014 in March 2013.
He joined Aston Villa in July 2014 with a two-year contract that was cancelled in January 2016.
