Mike Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 did he disappear from the football radar so quickly?he went from being a really good player (for a long period of time) to knack all?its bizarre.
StevieC Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 with the exception of us he was a bloody albatross for every club he went too. Spurs nose dived until he left to take Boro down and Everton almost went the same way. Leeds fans must have hoped he'd turned that corner...
Guest Ant Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 A: He Wasn't french B: He was injured and the last i remember of him was when he made a comeback v Fulham 01/02 season after that god knows.

FakeNewsBear Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 after a bad time with injuries and contract trouble he now plays for home town club Hull City
Mike Posted March 21, 2006 Author Posted March 21, 2006 he had a rabbits foot didn't he. i remember it, especially in europe. after a bad time with injuries and contract trouble he now plays for home town club Hull City incredible fall from the england international and liverpool regular
FakeNewsBear Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 leeds needed him off their wage bill and he would only go to Hull the agreement as i know was after 50 games Hull paid 500 k for him they couldnt afford it he played 49 and then never played for nearly two years until recently
StevieC Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 not sure that is true at all. he was evertons player of the year when he signed for us. not saying he didn't play well- he commanded some pretty steep transfer fees. Just that every club's fortunes (bar us) plummeted during his tenure there.
Earl Hafler Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 not sure that is true at all. he was evertons player of the year when he signed for us. You should know better than that.
Mike Posted March 21, 2006 Author Posted March 21, 2006 You should know better than that. whys that mate?
Guest Anders Honoré Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 incredible fall from the england international and liverpool regular read an article about him some months ago. He's taken a huge paycut to play for them, when he could have gone back to the prem, but wants to help them upwards. Think it's a very admirable choice.
Earl Hafler Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 whys that mate? It's not exactly a hallmark of quality, is it ?
Ste M Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 Thought he was a good player myself, always good for a goal, capable of popping up from nowhere, and you're a bit harsh on him regarding clubs taking a nosedive whilst he was there. He was part of Spurs 'famous five' or whatever the feck they were called, and they had a good time whilst he was there. Granted Boro and Everton were no great shakes whilst he was there, but they hardly ever were really. Good honest pro.
columbo Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 anyone know why he left us when he did? remember being slightly surprised at the time
Buzz Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 injuries.Always an intelligent player, I remember his knockdown to Owen in the 1-5 Germany/England game (The one where Liverpool scored all the goals ) many palyers would have headed for goal, and probably scored, but not he, he headed side ways and down to Owen and an empty net, brilliant. Didn't he fall out with Houllier when he had all his injuries?.
Bootle Buck Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 He was lucky to get some big transfers and contracts and therefore, can now enjoy playing for Hull. Good luck to the lad.
aka Dus Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 He had a good career and is finishingup at his hometown club. Good for him. Likeable player, should be held in good esteem by our lot I think.
