he was indeed the nuts on CM01/02. Everytime I started a new game he was the first player i went for.

John Terry is the greatest defender in the history of football, pretty much.

I love him was different class out in Italy for a while. One of my favourite footy moments ever involve Taribo, from a couple of years back...
Partizan beat Swedish side Djurgården on away goals in the second round after a 2-2 draw in Stockholm - but the Partizan team of today aren't of the same high standard as their predecessors. Struggling to hold on to the best young talents in Serbia and Montenegro, they lost midfielder Zvonimir Vukic to Shakhtar Donetsk and striker Danko Lazovic to Feyenoord in the summer. Skilful midfielder Sasa Ilic is still there, however, and boss Lothar Matthäus has also brought back ageing winger Ljubinko Drulovic after 11 years in Portugal. Former Derby defender Taribo West is also there - but isn't the coach's favourite at the moment after coming back late from his summer holiday with a knee injury. 'He took an "African" holiday,' complained Matthäus. 'And now he is eating grass to cure his injured knee. What can I do?'
I'd sell my soul to see him in a town shirt, just for one game. |

i remember reading a story a few years ago saying that a lot of the african players that come over here are actually a lot older than their passports say they are, did anyone else see that?

I also signed that Nigerian striker (can't remember his name) who played for Everton on a free, and promptly sold him for a million about a month later.  Daniel Amokachi? |

didnt he have trouble getting a work permit after they signed him? what a waste - 5 games & i bet that cost a shit load in wages. i remember reading a story a few years ago saying that a lot of the african players that come over here are actually a lot older than their passports say they are, did anyone else see that? didnt see the story, but its generally true... they dont get birth certificates when they're born, so are given an 'age' based on their reading age/education level. as most of them aren't the cleverest it makes their age lower, if that makes sense. when i used to play schoolboy football we always used to come across african kids that were blatently over aged. they were about 13-14 and 6ft tall, whereas the rest of us were 9-10 and about 5ft tall. was quite intimidating back then. |

It's strange you say that as there is a guy in my year at college whos is from Ghana and he is apparently 16 and he looks way, way older... |
