Joe Hart retired at Celtic following three hugely successful seasons and 153 appearances,, but it was an important conversation with then-manager Ange Postecoglou that led to a somewhat unlikely move happening.
The former England goalkeeper, who has 75 caps for his country, was brutally discarded by Pep Guardiola upon his arrival at Manchester City in 2016, and saw his career take a serious nosedive in the years that followed.
There was loans at Torino and West Ham, before permanent spells at Burnley and Tottenham, where Hart seriously struggled for game time.
At 34 and feeling like there was no place for him in the game, he had a conversation with Postecoglou that changed everything and led to his move to the green side of Glasgow.
The goalkeeper became a bit of a club icon, winning three league titles, two Scottish Cups and two Scottish League Cups before hanging up his gloves at the end of last season.
