latapy played for Porto, you cannopt get bigger than that.
the man play pro until he was like 37 in scotland, and was a key player.
how much bigger you want him to be.
Latas played for Porto and then took a stop backwards to play with Boavista - good club but that is like leaving Man U and going to Tottenham or Villa.
Then at 30 years old and still on top of his game the man went to HIBS IN THE SCOTTISH SECOND DIVISION. How the hell he end up there is a crying shame. A man who good bamboozle the best in the world and he go to Hibs?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Latas was a drinker and a smoker, not one problem but 2 problems for anyone who wants to play at the highest level.
Villa promised Yorke they would take Latas if Dwight stayed with them but I doh blame Dwight...he ride out on to bigger things and Villa drop they interest in Latas.
Latas had all the talent in the world but lacked the discipline that Dwight had, the work ethic to train and keep super fit. Dwight at Man U was always praised for being the fittest player at the club bar none.
Some of Latas teammates use to say Latas would show up for training smelling like alcohol.
He enjoyed himself and lived up to his potential, I think he achieved what he could have. Had he not been the happy drinker, smoker that he was he wouldn't have been happy and it probably would have showed in his performances. In Scotland he was able to live and play like he wanted.
He was as talented as the come though, brilliant football brain.
