Taribo West, CM00/01 was it? Became more or less the best player, certainly defender in the game. no matter what team you got him with he gave you decent chance of winning your league single handedly. An absolute feenom.

Michael Chretien (sp?)

Right Back signed for Man Utd in FM08

None of my coaches liked him, but he became a fan favourite after one season.

I don't remember alot of info about him as it's alot of time since I played that save.

I do remember that he came on team of the year and that he won the champions league with my team, though.
