The Crazy Russian as JT used to call him decided to hang his boots for good. I know he wasn't with the club long but he was a part of the title winning squad and played his heart out on the pitch.

Just to show some appreciation for the scary looking industrious geezer.

Wow, I didn't even realize he was that old.....is it just his age that's caused him to retire, or is it injury?

[Scott]

and the one against C*ltic in Seattle.

All the best Alexey.

Awesome goal that was and Jose's face was priceless.

Not to take anything away from Smertins thread, but now you mention Tiago and that goal..
