Funny he didn't mention this before his agent moved three of his players to us.

Met him once at McDonald's around 6am Oxford in town

We never built on our wins. The summer following 99 I think we only bought Fortune.

After 08 we bought Berbatov, but then Quieroz left and we changed our style.

1. Boban
2. Nedved
3. Prosniecki

607 goals in 406 appearances at club level.

It was not only his incredible goalscoring feats that endeared Bican to the footballing public. During his time with Slavia, crowds used to number in the hundreds just to watch him train because Bican's training sessions were often more like circus acts – and fans were happy to pay a few korunas to watch him.

Whilst the rest of the squad practiced routines or ran laps, Bican would have a hamper of empty bottles, which he would proceed to balance on the top of the flat wooden crossbar, spaced about one foot apart. He then stepped back to the edge of the penalty-area, put down a bunch of balls and aimed. One by one from twenty yards Bican would knock the bottles off the bar with his shots, and on a bad day – the story goes – he would maybe miss one in ten.

Lad would have pissed the crossbar challenge.

'If I got 5 chances, I got 5 goals'.

Lad.

Carried on playing - and scoring goals - until he was 42. He had started his professional career 27 years earlier

Back in 2001 I thought we bought the wrong Lazio player...

Should've got him instead of Veron.
