Faustino Asprilla never enjoyed playing by the rules at Newcastle United, and he even once told a former manager at Parma he was not 'Forrest Gump' when asked to run in training.
The maverick striker famously scored a Champions League hat-trick against Barcelona at St James' Park as part of Kevin Keegan's famous 'Entertainers'. Asprilla registered 18 goals and 19 assists during his two-year stint on Tyneside.
Arriving to sign in February 1996 dressed in a fur coat during a snowstorm, the striker created memories both on and off the pitch. Magpies legend Alan Shearer labelled his team-mate as a 'nice lunatic', with his off-field antics including climbing the gates to his home in the early hours after a night out.
