Diego Forlan.

Took him like 20+ games to score. His first goals is a penalty and everybody just cheered. Everybody on and off the field likes him.

Confirmed to be a cult heroes when he scored 2 goals at Anfield.

Edited. I guess he wasnt suitable to play in England or with Man Utd because he just keeps scoring in Spain. He did mentioned that he would like a second crack at playing with United again.

Was thinking about Forlan initially but later think, it should be Alan Smith smile.gif

Played out of position in midfield. Wasn't the skillfull lot but his determination to win every balls is top class. Never complained when not playing unlike Forlan who did show his furstration for lack of playing times.

SAF sent a thank you note to him when he joined Newcastle. That shows Smith good character on and off the pitch. thumbup.gif

Not aware of that. When did that happen? hmm.gif

He works his socks off I'd agree but he wasn't an angel on the pitch at least.
That being said, there is no denying he has heart.

He gave everything for his team even if it means to foul the opponents. He got sent off against us at OT this season.
