Not to sure if you have covered this Ed001 but I was wondering if I could get your opinion on two players first one is Fabio Aurelio I always thought he was class fantastic left foot but always struggled with injuries one of the best LB we have had in the modern era, second player is Jerzy Dudek I was always wondering why he left after the champions league win and Pepe Reina was brought in was he forced out or did he want to leave? always be a hero In my eyes for that double save against Shevchenko and the penalty saves thanks in advance.

{Ed001's Note - I loved Aurelio, his problem was that he would get in the team, play crap for a few games, then he would have a worldy only to get injured the following game for 6 months. The guy couldn't even have a kickabout with his kids in the garden without suffering an injury that saw him miss half a season! He was made of tissue paper. Such a shame because he was awesome on his day.

Dudek was simply not seen as good enough and Reina was seen as better, plus Rafa wanted a Spanish spine to build around.}

Technically the best left back in the last decade or so. He was bloody good. Excellent left foot and very good defensively. Aurelio minus injury is a gem.

I don't remember much about Aurelio in open play, he never filled me with that much confidence tbh. But those set plays. the talent and the intelligence that he had were an unspeakably dangerous mix when he stood over a dead ball.

Sadly Harry we never saw Aurelio without an injury - he'd have gone down as one of the best had he had more luck on the injury front.
