Do I remember right , he limped off against Leeds and David Sommeil replaced him and presented the ball to Alan smith for the winner?
Pretty sure that Sommeil didn't replace him in that Leeds game as he'd gone out on loan at the same time van Buyten came in. In fact, it might have even been a loan swap involving both players between us and Marseille.
Edit - just checked and it was indeed a loan swap with van Buyten coming to us and Sommeil going to Marseille. I actually rated Sommeil more than many of our fans but van Buyten was a different class altogether.
