For Ireland, WC 2002. At club level, I'd say his best season was Mourinho's first title winning season at Chelsea.
When he is good he is good !
when he is injured he is not so good !
Still a great player - brilliant yesterday.
2004 was his best year I think, he was unreal for us anyway.
This is true. I do remember the WC though with him running around like crazy and the Spanish announcers (Goooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaallll) on Univision raving about him. "Damien Doof"Quote:

he was superb for Fulham two seasons ago. Better than his Chelsea league winning season. 2002 for us i reckong.
Was completely anonymous against Liverpool. With Kakuta coming in from Chelsea on loan he might get some rest.Quote:

Club - Has to be Chelsea's first title winning season under Mourinho. Himself and Robben were fantastic to watch. Chelsea have been pretty dull ever since, more muscle than guile.
Country - Probably the 2002 era alright. He used take players on from a standing start. He stopped doing this as he got older, would opt to retain possession and only take players on if he had a run on them. That happens to most players with age anyway.
i didnt like him at chelsea(post first season) at all always felt mourinho changed him as a player.
Wasn't too bad a few minutes ago putting Fulham ahead against his old club, Newcastle.
Fulham goal: Deadlock broken, and the hosts just about deserve it. Danny Murphy's ball over the top finds Damien Duff rushing forward, the Irishman holding Jose Enrique off and pinging home the opener.
sounds like duff 8 years ago
