PROFILE
Florent Sinama-Pongolle is currently on loan at Blackburn Rovers until the the end
of the 2005-06 season. He joined the Premiership side in January 2006.
He spent the majority of the 2004-05 season on the treatment table after injuring
his knee in the Carling Cup semi-final win at Watford. It was an unfortunate blow for the
striker, as he had previously inspired Liverpool to the last 16 of the Champions League
with his display against Olympiacos. Coming off the bench he scored and played a major
role in the 3-1 victory.
It was Gerard Houllier who secured the double transfers of whom he called the
French gems, Anthony Le Tallec and Florent Sinama Pongolle, when they arrived at Anfield
in the summer of 2003.
The pair had previously both been on a season's loan at French side Le Havre, and
Houllier's capture is a shrewd one as Le Tallec and Pongolle were in much demand
throughout the football world.
Pongolle is an exciting young striker with blistering pace. He quickly became a
favourite with the Anfield fans after scoring a fantastic goal at Anfield in a 3-1 win
over Leeds.
His goalscoring exploits were very much in evidence in May 2001 when Pongolle
scored six goals en-route to the final but France lost out to Spain 1-0 in the European
U16 Championships in England.
There was better fortunes for Pongolle in September 2001 as played a major role in
France winning the under-17 World Championships in Trinidad. Sinama-Pongolle won the
golden ball for the tournament's best player and the golden shoe for top goalscorer with
nine goals.
He set a new tournament record with hat-tricks against USA, Japan and a goal in the
final against Nigeria.
