And what happened to the forgotten Dutchie of Real Madrid (32:10)? Where are they now?On this episode of Football In The 2000s we begin to chart the careers of some of the most intriguing young promises of the decade before rounding things up with a very one sided trivia showdown (45:45).All of this and much, much more on this episode of Football In The 2000s!If you haven't already, tune in to our other episodes on any app you get your podcasts!Make sure to follow us on our Instagram (@football2000spod) and tell us of more topics you would like to hear.
