Francisco Costinha
Before a move to Monaco in 1997, Francisco Da Costa - or Costinha as he is more commonly known - rose to prominence through the ranks of lower division Portuguese football.
He caught the eye in the 1995/96 season when he helped Nacional to the Second Division title and was soon off to the French Riviera.
Chipped in with a couple of goals in winning the French Championship this season, but may find himself a little less active in the Low Countries in light of the competition for places in the Portuguese midfield.
