Whenever Nolberto Solano is mentioned by a Newcastle fan, they do so with a smile - because the little Peruvian was simply majestic at times. A member of Sir Bobby Robson's thrilling Champions League side, Nobby Solano and Laurent Robert would occupy either wing and deliver pinpoint crosses and set-pieces to the likes of Alan Shearer and Craig Bellamy. Having signed for Newcastle for just shy of £2.5 million in 1998, Solano made 182 appearances and scored 37 goals - many of them memorable - before he left for Aston Villa for £1.5 million in 2004. However, just 18 months later Solano was back on Tyneside for the same price for which he was sold - and he once again proved to be a hit, scoring eight goals in a further 58 league appearances.

After leaving the North East for a second time, Solano moved to West Ham United - where he scored four goals in 23 appearances for the east London club during the 2007-08 season. However, upon moving on from West Ham, the 95-cap Peru international became somewhat of a journeyman, playing for Larissa, Universitario de Deportes, Hull City, Hartlepool United and Leicester City. Since retiring Solano has moved into coaching - and he continues to play the trumpet for his own Salsa ban, "The Geordie Latinos".
