Dimitar Berbatov had a tendency for the spectacular. The gangly-looking Bulgarian striker was like a magician in many ways, pulling something out of nothing when you least expected it.
There was certainly more to him than met the eye, that’s for sure, and he proved that emphatically in 2008 when he provided what is surely one of greatest Premier League assists of all time.
The moment of magic came when Man Utd welcomed West Ham to Old Trafford. The Red Devils won 2-0 on the day, courtesy of two Cristiano Ronaldo goals.
However, it wasn’t the Portuguese star that stole the headlines the next morning with the media focus held firmly on the Bulgarian for his genius.
