Yakubu - signed on this day in 2007

[Darth Toffeeman]

Yak was class.

We really, really should have won the Europa in 08.

Moyes was clueless with his tactics away at Fiorentina and it cost us. We were easily the best side left in that tournament. A bigger regret than the FA defeat to Chelsea a year later.

Zenit and Rangers ffs.

Happy birthday big lad

36 ( lol ) today

 

[RomanReigns]

Happy 21st birthday lad

Remember his debut as a 13 year old the kid was years ahead of his time

 

[Tel001]

Knew where the net was.

Q: Would he (pre-injury) get in the team now?

Yes and he would score a shed load

Fixed mate

Nah no chance, Skrtell was so hard that he went to Burger King and got a big mac.

Heard he wore shin pads to protect othe players toes

 

[Steve0]

Raul Merieles wasn;t it?

He got skrtl too as well. He had such bad concussion he started asking for big Macs in Burger King.

Without a shadow of a doubt, an unbelievably good finisher and all round player. Loved Yakubu.

 

[BernieH]

Be ace having a slotter like Yak in this team he'd hit 20 again easy.

 

[efcjames]

Love you X

 

[Seathestars]

The boy could finish, strong too. Best pensioner I ever saw.

 

[HKContractDave]

Forgive me but I can't help recalling that penalty miss v Fiorentina...

 

[TheBigBaldy]

Haha..... Brilliant that!

Flattened the little toad.
