PAULO FERREIRA
In 2004, José Mourinho paid a British record £13.2 million fee for a full-back to purchase the defender who had walked the road to Champions League glory with him at Porto.
With consistent and solid defending, the young Paulo had become an international within six months of signing for Porto from lower table side Vitória Setubal - although his nation's big party in the summer of Euro 2004 fell flat for him.
He made 18+3 league appearances on the way to a second title and remained a full-back of choice in the Champions League. He played in midfield in FA Cup semi-final defeat by Liverpool.
In August 2006, Gallas departed with new competition arriving in the shape of Khalid Boulahrouz. Paulo was just as likely to be found at stand-in center-back as right-back in the early part of 2006/7 but he came back strongly.
In the second half of last campaign he regained the right-back shirt regularly and capped a return to his best form by playing a big part in subduing the celebrated Ronaldo in the FA Cup Final. Currently, he's Portugal's first choice at left-back
