It says a lot that it was really difficult to find a picture of Eduardo which wasn't of his horrific broken ankle against Birmingham City. Who knows what could have been if that hadn't taken place. The Croatian/Brazilian seemed to have a lot of talent, but he was always going to struggle to replace the greatest foreign import to ever grace the Premier League.

(Side note: the accuracy of the last statement is not up for debate)

Eduardo scored 8 times for Arsenal, playing 41 times. He was never the same player after that injury - but even without it, he was never going to be Henry, was he?
