WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Zlatko Zahovic http://info.babylon.com/cgi-bin/bis.fcgi?rt=GetFile&uri=!!AET3780JFT&type=0&index=8 The year is 1999. The month is August. A 10 and a half year old WBCP is on an expedition of Crete with his folks. They've hired a car and driven from wherever the f*** they were staying to some other town. They go into a sports shop. Young WBCP doesn't want a fake Brazil top to remember his travels. He wants something authentic. On a rack he finds an Olympiakos top. He puts his hand in his pocket and pulls out his velcro wallet, the kind all 10 year old kids had. It probably had a picture of "Purple Ronnie" on the front. He looks at the price tag. Whatever the f*** the shirt cost in drachma, he had just enough. He made sure it fit and took it to the counter. The old bloke typed in the price and proceeded to fold the shirt, then he noticed the back of it, on which was printed "Zahovic 25". The old Grecian looked at WBCP. "ohhhhhh not Zahovic!" he laughed. Young WBCP was rattled like a Mag that had been told Cattermole was better than Tiote. "What do you mean?" he uttered, or words to that affect. The old man's eyes widened. "He bad man! He bad man!" he bellowed. Nevertheless WBCP handed over the money and wandered out none the wiser. -------------------------------------------- I now know he was somewhat of a dick and seemed to fall out with coaches everywhere. Made it to Euro 2000 with Slovenia. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made it to Euro 2000 with Slovenia. Scored a goal against Norway when the linesman raised his hand (not flag) to signal that the ball was NOT out, and Stig Inge Bjørnebye stopped thinking it was the flag. Bjørnebye himself might also qualify for this thread, main years in Liverpool from 1992-2000, but had a spell in Blackburn from 2000-2002. Well known for the epic "Flo-pass", which was a cross from the left back to the right wing, a winger who could do nothing but head the ball. http://assets.lfcimages.com/uploads/players/stig_inge_bjornebye.jpg And yea, Zahovic was a fucking dick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
