Signed in October until the end of the season from Wolves.

Had an inspired home debut in a 3-1 win against Motherwell, where he scored one, made another and walked of with the man of the match award.

Ketsbaia began his career with Dinamo Tblisi back in Georgia before then moving on to Cyprus where he starred for Anorthis Famagusta.

In fact he played for them against Rangers in 1994 in a Champions League qualifier.

From their he moved to Greece, where he starred for AEK Athens for three years before securing a move to the English Premiership with Newcastle United.

He spent three years at St James' where he was loved by the fans, but had a turbulent relationship with Ruud Guillet.

Many people stil talk about the game when he scored after coming on as a substitute and then proceeded to kick the hell out of an advertising board.

He then moved on to Wolves in a £900,000 move in August 2000.

This move never really worked out as he didnt see eye to eye with Wolves manager Dave Jones.

Temuri has amassed over 50 international caps for Georgia scoring 15 goals.

Lets hope that the enegmatic Georgian extends his stay at Dens beyond this season.
