Nolberto
Solano
The Peruvian national
captain has become a real favourite with the fans at St. James' park with
his silky skills and agility on the ball. Solano was signed by Kenny Dalgliesh
in the Summer of '98 for £4 million from Argentinian giants Boca
Juniors.
Nobby is regarded
as world class player and can play on either the left or the right, in
midfield or sometimes defence.
One of his most memorable
moments as a Newcastle United player was his free kick against Man United
at St James Park in the 98/99 campaign.
Nicknamed "The Iittle
Maestro" in his homeland after Diego Maradona saw him taking free kicks
and gave him the nickname.
