He's no Dion Dublin.
Samba even played up front a few times for Blackburn. :|

I can't imagine the injury problems he's had will have done anything to improve that.Not to mention that he left them as a 27 year old. The 32 year old version probably needs wheeling around the pitch on a trolley.True, he used to get really angry when anyone mentioned him because most people only saw him on motd and thought he was brilliant and that Blackburn were really lucky to have been able to keep him. I heard that 2-3 times and the rant that followed was brilliant.Carew used to bully him ridiculously, he used to wilt at the sight mind you the best bullying Carew ever did is on Cahill when Bolton came to VP. That was a destruction.Remember those halcyon days of carew Barry mellberg milner young when we would tear teams new arseholes

I wonder what he weighs.
Forced one of the best saves I've ever seen out of Guzan in that crazy 3-2 win against QPR.
