    You have to have googled it! Unless like me you saw him in the reserves seemed good but got injured and never played again!

    Played on loan for Brighton in season 1998/1999 for a couple of games. Scored the winner at Barnet.

    I remembered him to be honest as at the time any kind of international at the club was still a big thing

    we wanted to do a deal, but he run into work permit issues despite getting married here i think.

    Remember his reserve game, which they had to do as free entry as it was a trial, and there were as many down there as you would expect for a carling cup game !

    Wasn't he brought over by John Fashanu?.

    I'm sure there were allegations of moody passports.....pretty sure he had his contract at Barnet cancelled as there was a problem with his passport.

    Don't think anything was ever proven though.
