Hossam "not fit to wear the shirt" Ghaly. Scored a couple of great goals, but what a waste, rotted in the reserves after "the shirt incident".
Some of the goals Gio scores for Mexico are crazy good which makes his signing so frustrating. I remember thinking after one his first games at Chelsea he had potential.... Such a waste.
Digressing slightly I thought the Morrocan fella El Hamdoui was going to be a star for spurs...
Bentley was always an odd one for me. I never actually liked him as a player. Not versatile enough and one dimensional.
The over reaction to that was complete bollocks... What he did was nothing to do with "the shirt" it was frustration at being subbed having just come on.
This is the same bloke who played on after having half his teeth kicked out.
Gio failing at Spurs will haunt me for the rest of my life lol
In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king. His main competition was Frazier Campbell and Pav
That's a lot of player for your money.Clearly best pound for pound signing.
I remember that too. He should have just made the substitution and given him a chance. Robbie Keane had a similar tantrum but got away with it because he was a fans' favourite.I always felt a bit sorry for Ghaly...our fans were being cunts to him that day and the frustration of being a sub that gets subbed got to him. It didnt help that the crowd cheered when Jol took him off.
He apologised for his behaviour (more than Berbatov and Modric ever did, and their behaviour was a million times worse)
I think later, Redknapp had him changed and ready to come on, but didnt dare when the boos started ringing around the ground. He didnt make the sub in the end, and that was the last we saw of him.
