Jermaine Pennant had an interesting career as a footballer and it is 20 years since that journey started when Arsenal signed him as a 15-year-old.On February 8, 1999, the Gunners signed the teenager for a deal worth 2million from Notts County and it was a record for a trainee at the time.From there he went on to play in the Premier League more than 200 times, a Champions League final with Liverpool, spent 30 days in prison and last year ended up on the Jeremy Kyle show.
