Actually, it's over 90,000 if you include players, coaching staff and officials etc.

Saw this. Would anyone have an idea how much money he's on over there if they can attract that sort of a crowd?
I read in one of the papers (indo possibly) hes getting what he made in 3 months, in Derry per week over there, pretty sure it was an actual quote from Zayed too.
Wouldnt go all the way over there myself for 200 pounds a week.Quote:

Thought it was said somewhere he was going to get €100,000 for the 3 months over there. Surely he will be able to pick up a club in England on his return or has he said he will return to the LOI?

They are the most poplar team in Asia according to the wikipedia which is huge. 90,000 at that game is an incredible crowd. He'll be a hero down there after pulling back three goals, with 10 minutes to go and 2-0 down.
Not to mention that it's the biggest game in the domestic calendar, similar to El Clasico, so even he never scored another goal there, he'd still be a legend.
Great to see any ex LOI player doing well so good luck to him (still not quite as good a player as he thinks he is :D).
Typical, I bet Trap does not go and see matches over there :p
Bet Libya are kicking themselves that they didnt pick him for the ACN
Genuinely delighted for the lad. :)
Pats played 2 friendlies in Iran in 1990z drew 0-0 with the national side and lost 2-0 to a club side (forget which one). There was 90,000 at the national side game too
I spoke to a couple of players about it recently and it's one of their favourite memories from the time. Pats also played a friendly in Tunisia around the same time (drawing that too)
Some press clippings from the Pats game

Unreal stuff.
Instant legend and fair play to them. Still a diving ******* tho. :)
With the first being a right-footer and the second with the head, all it needed was the last one to be with the left! :ball:
They(Persepolis) were also down to 10 men.Quote:

Three good goals too. Fair play to him I'd say it's some buzz.
