Born in France to a Senegalese mother and Bissau-Guinean father, Edouard Mendy famously registered as unemployed at 22 after his Cherbourg contract ended, before a friend's tip earned him a trial at Marseille's reserves. He rebuilt his career via Reims and Rennes, then became Chelsea's first-choice keeper, winning the 2021 Champions League and the Yashin/FIFA Best goalkeeper awards. Now Senegal's experienced number one at Al-Ahli, he remains the team's reassuring last line at the 2026 World Cup.
- Was registered as unemployed before a trial at Marseille's reserves relaunched his career
