Taribo West

[PTP]

Haha great read

I remember signing taribo west from inter on champ manager, must've been about 2000?

He was always available on a free right at the start of the game, and was good enough if you could keep him happy for a year or two

Just searching obafemi marina age and came across this from old pro Evo forums


---Take you real age, minus 2 years, divide by 2 and then add 3. If you are over the age of 40 then you have to use the "Nwankwo Kanu age freezing" method also which means when you turn 30, you change your age to 28 and every subsequent year after becomes 18 months long.---

Was always the first signing whether you needed him or not.

This has now replaced the 'Where are they now files' as my favourite Est thread. The photos of Rigobert Song make it a thing of true beauty.

Incidentally, on the subject of Song, I remember an old VHS season review from the Houllier era. There was a little clip of training, Song was on the ball in the RB position, completely unmarked and without pressure. He tried to play an easy ball down the line but completely sliced it out of play. Unfortunately, that was good as it got for Old Rigobert in a Liverpool shirt...

He could trap a ball further than most people could kick it.

The only thing I really remember about Song was his peculiar running style. Legs right up and knees bent at 90 degrees sort of thing.

I remember there was some question about Freddy Adu's age.

He was 15 for about 20 years.

Yes, that's definitely my clearest impression of him too.
