Playing in a friendly for Olympiakos in the summer of 2005, you'll have to mute the commentary

That is a rarity.......... I mean Danny Mills with a footy kit on.
 
We could have afforded him back then! He was still quite off the radar until the 2006 World Cup and after that Monaco only paid about £3.5m for him but lost him after 1 season to Barca as we probably would have done too.
 
I remember M.E.N raving about his performance against us that day, followed his career since then


Then he won us our first trophy in 35 years


Thankyou, Yaya.<br /><br />-- Mon Mar 26, 2012 6:37 pm --<br /><br />

I think there still would have been work permit issues for him back then.
