RIGOBERT SONG 1999-2000 by Dermot Date of Birth - 01/07/76 Nationality - Cameroon Position - Defender Games - 38 Goals - 0 Club Hons (Lpool) - None International Hons - Cameroon caps Other Clubs - Metz, Salernitana, West Ham United, FC Cologne (loan), Lens, Galatasaray, Trabzonspor Song arrived at Anfield in January of 1999 from Salernitana for £2.6 million. At the time he was probably best known to Liverpool fans as the only player to be sent off twice in consecutive World Cup finals (a feat since matched by Zidane). I for one was pleased to see him join, he could play at centre-half or right back and he was captain of the Cameroon national side. Unfortunately Song did not live up to initial hopes for him, he was rash and was often caught out of position and was moved on to West Ham after only a season and a half at Anfield and a total of 38 games at the club. While somewhat of a flop at Liverpool, Song is a legend in Cameroon, he is the most capped player in his nations history and has also made the most appearances in African Cup of Nations History.
