Dabizas
Dabizas caught the
eye of Kenny Dalgliesh in the Champions League, who then signed him for
what he said was a bargain £1 million in March 1998.
A no-nonsense type
player, Dabizas has become a real favourite with the St. James' park faithful.
He became the first Greek ever to play in the FA Cup final when Newcastle
lost to Arsenal in 1998, and hit the bar with a header when Newcastle were
down 1-0.
When Dalgliesh signed
the Greek international he said "He's only 24 yet he's got a wealth of
experience. He's won 20 full caps and he's played in the Champions League.
He's essentially a central defender but he's also comfortable at the centre
of midfield. An English player with his credentials would cost us £4m-£5m."
