Ziege's career started promising - his runs down the left flank and free kicks especially dangerous - but after leaving Bayern, his defensive weaknesses were laid bare and with injuries his career lost momentum, but for a time in the mid 90's Zeige was one the most talented players in the World. He gained international fame with his Mohawk at the 2002 World Cup. Club career At club level, Ziege played for Bayern Munich (1990-97), AC Milan (1997-99) and Middlesbrough (1999-2000). In summer 2000 Liverpool F.C. made a £5.5m bid which exactly matched a get-out clause in Ziege's contract. Middlesbrough insisted they had received offers in excess of £8m for Ziege, but were forced contractually to allow Ziege to talk to Liverpool, who then signed him. He made his debut for Liverpool in a 3-2 home win over Manchester City on 9 September, 2000, replacing Steven Gerrard in the second half. Although the Anfield crowd saw flashes of Ziege's brilliance down the left flank during the season, a combination of knee injuries and the improving form of Jamie Carragher, meant he was transferred to Tottenham Hotspur after one year and 32 appearances in all competitions. He came on as a substitute and subsequently scored in the shootout as Liverpool won the 2001 Football League Cup Final, but he was injured for Liverpool's victorious FA Cup and UEFA Cup Finals of that season. On 14 March 2002, Liverpool were fined £20,000 by The Football Association for making an illegal approach for Ziege, while the player himself was fined £10,000. Whilst at Spurs he scored in the 2002 Football League Cup Final but he ended up on the losing side. However, by this time Ziege's injury problems were escalating, and by 2004 his contract was terminated by mutual consent so he could return to Germany. Ziege returned to Germany with Borussia Mönchengladbach in June 2004, but announced his retirement in October 2005, having not played since the previous December due to a persistent ankle injury. International career Ziege was capped 72 times for Germany, scoring nine goals. Other than the Euro 96 win, he also played for his country at the 1998 and 2002 World Cups (during which he played the final game), as well as Euro 2000 (he was a member of the Euro 2004 squad, but didn't play). Awards Ziege won the Bundesliga title twice with Bayern and the Serie A title once with Milan. He also won the UEFA Cup with Bayern in 1996 and with Liverpool in 2001. With the club from the Merseyside, he also gained the 2001 League Cup. He is the only player to have played in the Milan, Munich, Merseyside, Tyne-Tees and North London derbies VIDEOS: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=160ypc5fcJo[/youtube] [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnpC7plOu9Y[/youtube] ADDITIONAL LINKS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Ziege http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Ziege http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/history/past- ... tian-ziege Christian ZIEGE | 1995-1996 | PES Stats Database (Golden Era Backup)
