Who was that French midfielder - I think under O'Leary - who everyone thought was the reincarnation of Viera, mainly on account of we never saw him actually play so just filled in the blanks with our own fantasies? I think we wanted him to recreate some amazing partnership he'd had with the Djemba twins but he only managed about 10 games for us.

Did Makoun get sent off on his debut ?

I think of him as being as bad as Sanchez

Micah Richards was mentioned on another thread, had completely forgotten him.

I thought Salifou was the new Viera but I might be mistaken.

Vlacnav Drobny too. Think that was his first name.

Mattieu Berson

That was the one. No-one could work out why he wasn't played and, in the absence of any evidence, built him up into a world beater.

Ian Olney - from further above - was great. A lone striker who scored about 1 in 5 for us but left all those gaps for Platt to run into. A proper false number nine in that he rarely troubled the net but boy did he know how to drag defenders away. I reckon that's why Cascarino never worked. We didn't need a poacher we needed someone to open up spaces.

Anyway, back on topic and from the Berson school of missing midfielders, Joey Gudjonsson.

Joey's tackle on that horrible night will ensure he's never forgotten in my mind.

I saw Berson play one game for us, away at Middlesbrough, ran the game for us, quite superb, Boro didn't get close to him all game, I really thought we'd found a gem.

We lost 3-0 mind.

Fair play to him, not many players have played for the biggest club on each side of the border.
