"Wycombe" striker Adebayo Akinfenwa is one of the footballers who stands out with his physical attributes. The footballer, who spent several years in the Championship, played at the beginning of his career in Lithuania, where he defended the honor of Klaipėda's "Atlantas". However, it seems that A. Akinfenwa himself was not very interested in where he was going at the time, and Lithuania was not yet a European country. In his Instagram account, the footballer received a question about whether he had thought about playing outside of Europe. The striker's answer surprised internet users: "I have played in Lithuania," A. Akinfenwa wrote. The footballer's response was posted on the "Out Of Context Football" Twitter profile, which has nearly 900,000 followers. The Englishman played in Lithuania from 2001 to 2003.
