Five football stars out of non-league
Wolverhampton born-and-bred, former non-league player Sean O'Driscoll has risen through the game since his time turning out for Willenhall Town.
O'Driscoll looks set to secure one of the most lucrative jobs in English football as Brendan Rodgers' No.2 at Anfield.
And Lewis Cox has taken a look at five other stars who built an impressive career in the game from very humble beginnings.
1 Kevin Phillips.
A haul of 116 goals in a little over 200 games for Sunderland is not bad going at all, particularly for a man who had been playing non-league football only three years previous.
'Super Kev' was let go as a trainee by Southampton for being too small; he worked in a bakery while turning out for Southern League minnows Baldock Town in Hertfordshire.
He had been playing at right-back until his semi-professional club were on the lookout for an emergency striker.
2 Stan Collymore.
The Staffordshire lad played for Cannock Peelers as a youngster and probably didn't imagine he would one day be turning out for a trio of European champions in Villa, Nottingham Forest and Liverpool.
'Stan the Man' lit up the Conference with Stafford Rangers before catching the eye of numerous football league clubs.
Crystal Palace spent £100,000 on him before he left for Southend United where his goals earned his first big move to Forest.
3 Sam Ricketts.
The defender, recently released by Wolves, made nearly 50 appearances at Molineux in his two seasons under boss Kenny Jackett.
Ironically, it was Jackett who he had to thank for a successful Football League career.
After being released as a youngster by Oxford United, he had a season with then Conference side Telford United.
Then Jackett, at the time in charge of Swansea City, snapped him up. Ricketts went on to earn 52 caps for Wales.
4 Geoff Horsfield.
'The Horse' had plied his trade at Halifax Town, Guiseley and Witton Albion before joining Fulham in 1998.
Spells with Blues and Albion followed for the Yorkshire-born forward, who was a member of the Baggies side that completed the Great Escape under Bryan Robson in the 2004-05 season.
5 Miroslav Klose.
Almost unbelievably, Germany striker and record World Cup goalscorer Klose wasn't always at the very top of the world game.
The 71-goal Germany man, 16 of them in World Cups, was, like Horsfield, working as a bricklayer until his late teens.
He also turned out for fifth-tier German club FC Homburg, before his obvious talents were spotted by top German outfit Kaiserslautern. The rest, as they say, is history.
