Unfortunately he was so injury prone.

Hear hear. One of the best of his generation no doubt. I loved watching him play.
I recall a fairly recent game when he played for Finland against Wales (I think it was one of Toshack's last games in charge *shudders*). Litmanen was 38, or possibly even 39 at the time, but he quite literally ripped the whole Welsh team to shreds on his own and won the game single handedly. I know it didn't exactly take much to beat Wales during the Toshack years, but still, it was an amazing display for a guy his age against a team 10 years and more younger than him.

Luis Suarez' teeth might be back in place if Cantona would be around these days :p

But King Eric is one of the best foreign players to play in the PL #fact
