    As many of us probably were, I was also wondering what Didier Agathe was up to now.

    I decided to get in contact with the man himself and managed to organise an interview. I asked what he was doing now with his Academy and also what his favourite goal for Celtic was, his favourite player etc.

    Didier also spoke about his continuous struggle to become a footballer with a doctor telling him he'll never make it and how he slept in a car for three months when he first moved to Scotland.

    I thought this would be of interest to many here so have a read if you are: http://www.newsnow.co.uk/A/649860889?-10583:834

    His pace was frightening, his runs against Ajax for his goal and his run against Stuttgart to set up Chris Sutton stand out.

    He lacked cartilage in his right knee, now after all these years we know why he couldnt cross a ball in right lol

    Nice words from "meep meep".

    When Didier knocked the ball in front of himself, he seemed to eat up the ground as if his boots were spring-loaded. At his best - incredible.

    Sad to watch that video :notworthy

    Did he not set up the goal Larsson scored against the huns too when he controled it with his right then spinned and volleyed it with his left? sure I recall him horsing a hun down the wing and crossing in for that.

    Theres nobody like Agathe anywhere that I know of, he was one of a kind like Big Bobo. You get good defenders, good full-backs, good defensive midfielders, good playmakers etc

    But you rarely get certain types of player, Agathe was one and Bobo another. Same with guys like Roberto Carlos, Zidane, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo we'll never see that type of player again.
