My friend Nutsy and I often find ourselves discussing former players of the past, usually attempting to outdo each other in terms of obscurity. One name that came up the other night was none other than this Latvian; Ukrainian born striker who played for Southampton F.C between the years of 1999-2006. The lightning quick international striker was an integral part of the Saints attacking line up after his move from Skonto Riga in 1999.
Although sometimes used as an attacking left sided midfielder Pahars was most effective as an out and out striker. With bags of pace and skill to torment defenders, on his day Pahars was one of the most dangerous players in the Premiership.
Where is he now? Some rogue Cypriot club by the name of Anorthosis Famagusta. The only word I can use to describe this man is prodigious. Marian Pahars, you are officially obsecure.
