Q: Sami Hyypia

[Jezzman]

Does anyone know how many minutes Hyypia has played in a row in Europe before tomorrows game against Benfica? I remember reading something about it early this season and he hasn't missed a game since ??

The match against Benfica in Lissabon was match number 57 in a row for him, which makes it 5'130 minutes of European football for Sami without missing a second, or 85½ hours and that not including the added minutes.

 

Amazing.

 

Sami Hyypia = King of defenders = fact!

That is an incredible achievement.

I hope he gets a testimonial before his knees go. One of our greatest players of the modern era.

when did we sign hiim 98? 99? 2 or 3 season to go then. I can't see him holding on for that long to be honest. Then again I have been wrong before........countless times!

He signed in 1999, and his contract runs out in 2008.
