Like Barry Ferguson, Lorenzo Amoruso is best remembered at Rangers for helping the club to nine trophies during the turn of the Millennium before he too opted to leave Ibrox. Part of Amoruso's exit was down to Rangers' financial troubles but he also cited the need for a new challenge and was delighted to have signed for Blackburn - the same club as Ferguson. However, after making an immediate impact, injuries soon began to keep the Italian defender out of the side and he would make just 21 appearances in all competitions during his three-season stay at Ewood Park. At the age of 32, Amoruso recognised that time was running out to play in England and the financial uncertainties surrounding the club may have made it an easy decision to leave, but he may rue the option of renegotiating his deal because he never regained any kind of form after an injury three months later.
