Wilson he brought something we never had
... We had him (Mendes), Carrick and then Davids later too. Made me wonder what the hell we’d been buying in previous years.
Atouba was atrocious, he may as well have played each game in oversized shoes, red nose, and massive green wig.Cant believe no one has mentioned Atouba. And im being serious. He had some crazy skills and was pure entertainment. We were all worried shit whenever he tried to dribble his way out from defence but honestly i dont recall any of his play leading to a goal by the opposition.
He was a character and a good one at that. And his brilliant goal against Newcastle is something i remember to this day.
Sean Davis. Him and Mendes seemed to have a great understanding but it never really got a chance for one reason or another.
I remember watching him in our team, and he just looked about 2 or 3 moves ahead of the rest of the team. After playing alongside Schevchenko for the past few seasons, it's no surprise he struggled to get the same rapport going with... well, weren't all our strikers crocks then? Big Les, Iversen and Armstrong were knackered half the time.Here goes. Sergei Rebrov.
A good footballer who had to play in a team that played hoofball and tried to put it on his head. In a different team he'd have nailed it I'm sure. With the ball at his feet he was excellent.
I liked Steffen Iversen too. I think our medical staff and training ruined him. Loads of injuries at that time. He was a good striker imo. A shame.

I've met Iversen several times in Norway and he'd be the first to admit that he himself was at least as culpable as the medical staff. He liked (and likes) a good party, he didn't always work hard and live well enough to stay fit and healthy.Here goes. Sergei Rebrov.
