Top 10 super-sub football's player

The super-sub. The player that comes on with fifteen minutes to go whenhis team is down and changes the game. The kind of player a manager can regularly rely onto do so but the kind of player who would struggle to play a full game week in, week out. 1. Ole Gunnar Solsjkaer How many times did he rescue his team? When he did, he did it with style including one 4-goal haul against Nottingham Forest. Remember the 1999 Champions League Final againstBayern Munich? Can’t get more super than that! 2. Jermaine Defoe Is Fabio Capellos’ go-to man when the nation is in need of a goal or two, especially recently. Has also played the role at club level time and time again. Now starting each matchat Tottenham though. Most recently coming off the bench for England against Holland to score twice, and once against Slovenia. 3. Gunter Netzer Borussia Moenchengladbach play-maker who in the 1973 German Cup Final against Cologne, relegated himself to the bench after the death of his motherdays earlier then came on with 20 minutes to go to score the winner. 4. Oliver Bierhoff Single-handedly won the UEFA EURO 1996 Final against the Czech Republic when his team were down 1-0. With 20 minutes to go he came on, scored the equalizerthen bagged the first ever golden-goal in extra time. 5. Tim Cahill In Australia’s opening game against Japan at theWorld Cup in Germany in 2006, coach Guus Hiddink threw Cahill on with20 minutes to go when his team were down 1-0. He scores two goals. The rest is history. 6. Henrik Larsson Rescued Barcelona in the 2006 Champions League Final against Arsenal. Larsson entered the fray with 30 minutes to go and with his side trailing 1-0, theSwede set up Samuel Eto’o and then fellow substitute Juliano Belletti. 7. Lars Ricken Was introduced lateon in the 1997 Champions League final against Juventus and the Borussia Dortmund mid-fielder took only 16 seconds to score his side’s third goal and put the result beyond doubt. And what a goal it was too! 8. Patrick Kluivert In 1995, 19 year-old Kluivert came on as a second-half replacement to fire Ajax’s late winner against AC Milan in the Champions League final. He alsodaved the Rossoneri a numberof times at club leveltoo. 9. David Trezeguet The tall striker emphatically finished off Italy in the 2000 UEFA EURO final when he banged in a beauty of a goal in extra-time. Has played the‘super-sub’ role with France and Juventus a number of times. 10. Peter Crouch Crouchie has never let the Three Lions down coming off the bench. When England most need a Plan B, Capello call on lofty. His former gaffer HarryRedknapp agrees: "I love Crouchy - that'swhy I keep buying him. He was different class whenhe came on That's why England need Crouch, because he's Plan B for England as well, in my opinion. He's a player you have to take to a big tournament,because he gives you something completely different." Other memorably mentions are: Javier Hernandez Manchester United He scored a league goal every 117 minutes for United, and one every 50 minutes last season. Eight of his 27 league goals last season came as a substitute. Edin Dzeko Manchester City Eleven of his 22 league goals last season was as a substitute, with a goal every 64 minutes in the league last season. Half of his City appearances have been as a sub.
