How do you know about Sixto Peralta?
I first saw him play for Racing Club Argentina way back in 1999 before Inter snapped him up and Ipswich brought him on loan to the British shores. The one period in which he really consistently looked a serious prospect. I marvel at what happened to him between that time and his current Cluj stint.

Going back a bit, Frank McAvennie was supposed to have been the best thing since sliced bread when he came to England from Scotland in the late 80s, never amounted to much though...
Better not go dahn the east end mate, they still mourn the passing of Frank and Tony (Cottee). 46 league goals between them in 1986 and they were 4 pts off the title.

He scored 68 goals in 153 appearances for West Ham...his record at Celtic was pretty good too, if that counts...seems like he had 3 or 4 good seasons and disappeared, which is what the thread is about?

Still playing for River Plate, won the club's last league title in 2008, still scores a goal from time to time. He doesn't look like the same player, he's 36 and has a little drinking problem.

Is Colin Healy still at Ipswich? I remember Keane bought him from Cork City basically as a favour for them, I don't know if he's ever even played for them.
