Didier Baptiste signed for Harchester United in a surprise move after both Arsenal and Liverpool had been favourites to sign to France international.
Baptiste made it clear as to what his intentions were when signing for the Dragons, and that was "to build a legend" at the club. Before long, he was made the Dragons captain.
However, at the beginning of his second season with the club, Baptiste was rumoured to have taken money to lose the final game of the pervious season that would have saw the Dragons relegated.
He, and the club itself, were later cleared of these allegations by the FA but the rumours by The World newspaper had already done serious damage to Baptiste's reputation and he was sold to Marseille.
