During his five years as a Bolton Wanderers player, Ivan Campo made himself something of a cult hero at what was then known as the Reebok Stadium.
However, what is often forgotten is that the versatile Spanish defender, who won the Champions League twice with Real Madrid, also played for another English club in the autumn of his career - Championship outfit Ipswich Town.
His stint in Suffolk following his arrival in the summer of 2008 may have been largely unremarkable, although he did make one telling contribution when Barnsley made the trip to Portman Road seven years ago today.
The hosting Tractor Boys would eventually win the contest quite convincingly, but that was only possible thanks to the form of goalkeeper Richard Wright between the posts. Within the opening 15 minutes Diego Leon, Dennis Souza Guedes and Iain Hume all had chances for the away side, but former England international Wright was equal to their efforts.
Those saves provided Ipswich with a platform, which they made the most of in the 20th minute. A poor clearance from Heinz Muller went as far as Jon Stead, who fired his third goal of the season beyond the hapless Barnsley keeper.
The travelling Tykes continued to carve out openings, but it was Ipswich that scored the game's second goal in the 66th minute. Pablo Counago found Owen Garvan inside the area and the Irish midfielder stroked the ball home.
The points were then made safe just three minutes later as Campo took centre stage. The 34-year-old's effort from distance was little more than speculative, but it deceived Muller as it bobbled into the back of the net.
It was the Basque-born player's first goal in Ipswich colours and would end up being the only one that he scored prior to his release in May 2009, despite the fact that he had another 12 months left to run on his contract.
The game was also memorable for the second-half introduction of Barnsley's Reuben Noble-Lazarus, who at the age of 15 years and 45 days was thought to have been the youngest player to have ever appeared in the Football League.
Speaking after the final whistle, Ipswich boss Jim Magilton said: "The result was far more important than the performance. We set very high standards at this club and we know we've fallen a bit short.
"Up until the goal, they were probably the better side. They came and produced really good football. Barnsley manager Simon Davey should take an awful lot of credit for the way his team played."
