    I remember thinking I'd coined the phrase 'Hutton dressed as Lahm' at the time. Some years later I saw it used by someone texting the bbc live feed but I like to think I brought the term into the footballing lexicon...:icon_mrgreen:

    There must be quite a lot, only problem is you forget about them. Amr Zaki is the best one mentioned yet, id never have thought of him but he looked quality that one small spell, similar to Jelavic.

    What about Aliadiere, one of the top scorers in Ligue 1 this season. He's never done a thing before.

    His season under Mourinho he was on another level; never hit that level before or since

    Zaki has played in Egypt most of his career and has only had one season in England, so it's weird to call him a one season wonder

    He was amazing in the 07-08 season before Mourinho came, and for both of the two seasons under Mourinho, as well as the the 2010 world cup.

    After that game where Bale tore him to pieces (well both games actually) he's went downhill. But he was certainly more than a one season man.

    Brilliant in the Barca 96/97 team, linked up well with Ronaldo (fat one), won Copa Del Rey, Cup Winners and European Supercup. His career was curtailed by injury and falling out favour with managers. He never really hit the heights of that one season, played well and consistantly, but was never brilliant.

    He had quite a few good seasons with Espanyol so I wouldn't say he was a one year wonder, it just took him a while to find his form again.
