Deadly Weapon of a Bygone Era

Its none other then former Denmark striker Ebbe Sand!

In all, he was selected 66 times for the Danish national team and scored 22 goals, from his debut in 1998 until he decided to focus on playing for Schalke in 2004. When his contract with Schalke ran out in the Summer 2006, he moved back to Denmark to become head talent scout at Silkeborg IF. At his retirement in 2006, he was granted a testimonial between the Danish national team and his former Danish club Brondby IF.

Quite simply, Sand was a weapon, with the prowess of a fox and the speed of a mongoose. I haven't much to discuss about this finely woven creature, except that England dealt with him and his nation in the World Cup of 2002 in the Quarter Finals. But with Dirk Kuyt in massive decline at Liverpool perhaps Rafa should be keeping an eye on this fantastic footballer...
