THE Yugoslav midfielder only played 33 times for the Whites, but scored on seven occasions and this was the pick of the bunch.

In the 11th minute he picked up the ball just inside the Chelsea half, drifted past a couple of tackles, hurdled two more would-be tacklers and played a delightful one-two with Alan Thompson before rifling a shot confidently past Dmitri Kharine.

But is all ended in defeat and Curcic reflected: "The goal doesn't matter because we lost the game."
