Alan Shearer was tough, would be hard to play against, a difficult opponent.
We always looked forward to playing Aston Villa to hear him mangle Ugo Ehiogu's name. "Make sure you pick up Ehugu, Ehogy, whatever his name is."
Rio Ferdinand is the hardest opponent I have faced - strong and quick. He didn't kick you. He was so classy. I could do all my step-overs, but he would watch the ball and tackle so immaculately. He only got the ball.
As an opponent, the fiercest bouts were always against Zlatan Ibrahimovic, a fantastic player.
I am happy that United seems to be one of those against whom I score a lot!
Gladbach are definitely one of the toughest opponents. They always play good football.
Back in my days, my favorite opponent was Diego Maradona.
I mean, all kinds of good memories against Favre. Even when we lost, it was fun playing against him.
