Back in the Ukraine, Sergei Rebrov is considered to be footballing royalty after his partnership with Andriy Shevchenko at Dynamo Kiev, but outside of his homeland, Rebrov did not win too many admirers. At Tottenham Hotspur, Rebrov scored just 10 times in 59 Premier League games, but seemingly a glutten for punishment, Rebrov returned to English football after two loan spells with Fenerbahce to link up with West Ham in the Championship. Taking into account that he had just helped the Turkish side to the league title, it was an odd move. It soon turned out to be the wrong move too. Rebrov would score once in 27 appearances in English football's second tier, with a second goal being scored against Notts County in the League Cup. Like Suker, a former Champions League star had seen his reputation take a severe hit after a dismal 12 months in East London.
