May I suggest Ryan Giggs?

he also discovered penicillin whilst combing his chest hair for peat, making him nobel laureate in 1945.
that ryan giggs. he's really had an amazing career.

On 16 April 2009, Litmanen signed a new one year contract with Lahti, extending his superb career as a footballer with at least one more year.

Dont know if the Sydney thing was before or after that.

66 minutes played and Lahti scores the first goal of the game. Guess who scored?

Helsinki Red · « **Reply #207 on:** July 23, 2009, 06:24:43 pm »

Lahti won 2-0 and are through to the next round.

You and me both Rossi, not only that though i'm still pretty peeved we never saw a whole lot more of the Litmanen/Fowler partnership that promised so much.

I'm not 100% sure but i think they might have played together against Man City at Anfield too, memory's a tad hazy but i think it may have been in the FA Cup, i might be spectacularly wrong though.

Yup, and Jari went off at half time after tearing the fuck out of them.

Signed Litmanen on my birthday, to give an idea of how good he could have been for us was the FA cup 6th round i think against Man City in the treble year, he went off at half time and he made Heskey look like the best centre forward in the world in those 45 minutes. I would have loved him to play more for us

Why? Has he said that was his last game? Or you basing it on the fact thats the last Finnish game for a bit due to not qualifying?

Helsinki Red · « **Reply #231 on:** October 15, 2009, 06:31:55 pm »

Litmanen said today that he has not made any decisions about his future yet.

"We'll see. Maybe I'll think about it later this year or early 2010."
