Quality player. Think he's probably the last one (before Terry) to come through our youth team and actually break into the first team and become an established player. Always very underrated and didn't get anywhere near as many England games as he should have.

 
About 2min48sec into that clip, he scores at Selhurst Park, and a few Chelsea jump up in the home end.

His best days were at Blackburn IMO.

Edit: Just realised, I think that lob he scores against Utd was Gullit's last game in charge.

Im pretty sure Ruuds last game in charge was sometime after that game, I think it may have been a League Cup semi first leg at Highbury but can't be sure.

Anyway, LeSaux - a fine player. Scandalous we swapped him for Steve Livingstone who was a joke of a footballer and then paid £5 million for him 4 years later.

He loved Chelsea too.

Fully correct, that was it.

 
He was some player if you ask me, a lot of great memories of Berg...

I dont know why he got the treatment he did from some of his managers over the years not least England. When he came back to Chelsea he was great and all there was in the press was that England didn't have a left sided player, yet he was brilliant down the left defense and midfield. Very underrated in my opinion.

 
And of course that elbow in Robbie Fowler's face was spectacular. That little scouse scrote certainly had it coming.

 
To be fair Berg wasnt shy when it came to an elbow or a kick :smile:

The chapter in his book about that incident and the fallout is fasciating. The lack of support he got is stunning, even from within the club.

In fact his whole book is an interesting read.

Ashley Cole he is not.

 
Can anyone summarise whether he and Fowler patched things up or not?

Surprised we don't see more of Soxy on TV - very eloquent chap and always came over very well. What's he up to these days?

 
As far as I know, they did not and Fowler never apologised.

 
Loved Soxy, quality player. And his on-field punch-up with David Batty while he was at Blackburn was great!
