José Bosingwa brought with him pace, energy and guile to the right-back spot after arriving from Porto in the summer of 2008.
The Portuguese international's first campaign in England was characterised by his ability to get forward and cause problems in the opposition's half, scoring two superb goals against Stoke and West Brom.
He didn't just attack though, his speed was equally useful in defensive situations where he demonstrated an ability to cover for team-mates, while he rarely gave the ball away.
After beginning his new life in England under former national team coach Luiz Felipe Scolari, he missed an opportunity to impress early on when he injured a groin just 20 minutes into our first pre-season friendly in China. He flew home to work with the physios, and was fit for the start of the season, not looking back from there.
Comfortable as a midfielder, Bosingwa is also capable of filling in on the left-hand side of defence, as he did so admirably while marking Lionel Messi in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final against Barcelona in the 2009 Champions League semi-final, restricting the Argentine to a bit-part role in the game.
