He's actually doing really well for Hartlepool and has been doing for ages, but he was a real tip for the top when he broke into the Wednesday side as a kid.

Quinton Fortune. Weren't Spurs trying to buy him for £1m when he was 14? Big money for a 14 year old, now just a big fat kunt.Comment

one season wonder? he was in the twilight of his career when he scored all those goals at the world cup. he was a hero at real madrid and sevilla before that. he's a legend in croatia. most people would kill for a career like thatOriginally posted by lfc4ever View Post

No doubt in that, however, he arrived at Arsenal at the peak of his prowess, and the greatest striker on the planet etc, Golden Boot winner, and just mysteriously disappeared, hardly played for Arsenal, drifted to West Ham, drifted even further in the Bundesliga, it was like he announced his arrival as the very best in the world and then quickly went backwards.Originally posted by Ron_Mexico View Postone season wonder? he was in the twilight of his career when he scored all those goals at the world cup. he was a hero at real madrid and sevilla before that. he's a legend in croatia. most people would kill for a career like that

but he wasnt at his peak when he went to arsenal. he was 31 when he joined, already starting the downward slide that every player experiences. the world cup was his shining moment, however producing the goods in 6 or so games vs. moving to a club like arsenal in a league like the premier league represents a different challenge. i could be wrong but i think arsenal only signed him to be a 3rd or 4th striker. i can see how you would think his relatively feeble contribution to the premier league is an indictment of his ability, but i think its a case of him moving to england a bit too late in his career. england is the last place aging successful players should go, it's much too demanding of a league. the hype machine probably did hail him as the greatest striker on the planet based on his performance at the world cup, while ignoring his age and the fact his powers were waningOriginally posted by lfc4ever View Post
but his scoring record speaks for itself
1991-1996 Sevilla 153 apps (76 goals)
1996-1999 Real Madrid 86 (38)
1990-2002 Croatia 69 (45)
having croatian blood probably makes me a bit partial to him
