Bruno Cheyrou
From Frikipedia
Laughably bad French footballer, signed in 2002 by Gerard "anyone remember Alou Diarra?" Houllier.
Was picked out as being The New Zidane (TM) by some unnamed scout or journalist, which persuaded Houllier to part with £4.5 million for him.
Sadly, the similarities between Cheyrou and Zidane extended no further than the fact that they were both bald and French.
In total, he played 48 turgid games for Liverpool, scoring a mighty 5 goals.
After Rafa Benitez took over at Liverpool, he found that far too much of his time pre-season was being spent in finding a crap French team that could be persuaded to take Cheyrou on loan to get him out the way for a bit. Thankfully in 2006, the manager of Rennes lost a best-of-three game of Rock, Paper, Scissors with Benitez, and had to sign the by now forgotton Cheyrou permanently.
