Know firmly regarded as the side’s number one striker after returning after being banned in 1997 for punching the then national team coach. Since then he has moved from Sporting Clube de Portugal to Real Sociedad in Spain. Although he made his international debut in 1994 against Northern Ireland, it was only following that move to Spain that he became a regular in the national team. Technically gifted, tough and speedy is likely to plough his usual lonely furrow up front.
