Steve Bruce has hailed Allan Saint-Maximin as one of the greatest talents he has ever worked with - even if the 'maverick' certainly kept the former Newcastle United head coach on his toes.
It was Bruce who signed off on a £16.5m move for Saint-Maximin just a few weeks after taking charge of Newcastle in 2019.
While Saint-Maximin picked up his fair share of fines during their time together - for everything from wearing earrings at the training ground to occasionally being late for team meetings - the Frenchman struck up a close bond with Bruce.
