Playing career

Inamoto played for Japanese club Gamba Osaka during his last year of high school, signing with the club in 1998. He was then one of many high profile transfers of Asian players to Europe, signing with Arsenal of the FA Premier League, though he failed to break into the first team, only ever appearing in the Carling Cup. Inamoto scored two goals for the Japanese National Team at the 2002 World Cup, but had already been released by Arsenal shortly before the tournament began.[1] He was then signed by Fulham on a long-term loan deal from Gamba Osaka. Initially he settled well at the London club, garnering good notices as a tough-tackling midfielder with an eye for a spectacular goal. Notable goals he scored in his time for Fulham include goals against Tottenham Hotspur and also in the win against Manchester United. He also scored a great goal in the FA Cup against Everton which commentator Barry Davis described as "a Japanese peach". However, he sustained a fractured tibia in an international friendly against England, and returned to Gamba Osaka to do promotional work.

Inamoto ended up signing with West Bromwich Albion for a decidedly small £200,000 transfer fee, which was only to be paid once he had made an appearance for the Midlands club.[3] However, Gary Megson departed as West Bromwich Albion manager shortly afterwards, and successor Bryan Robson was unsure of the Japanese's talent. Inamoto was loaned to Cardiff City F.C. for the latter part of the 2004-05 season,[4] and impressed, being recalled to play a role in WBA's survival campaign in the Premiership. During his time with the Baggies his most impressive moment came when he scored a 35 yard winner in the Carling Cup against old team Fulham. In 2005-06 he was a regular in the West Brom side, and was called up to the Japan squad for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, the first Albion player to play in the tournament for 20 years.

Galatasaray: Junichi Inamoto (1016 words)
Junichi Inamoto is one of Japan's top defensive midfielders, and has become a fixture on the national team with sparkling play in both the Olympic U-23 side and the full national team which won the Asian Cup.
Inamoto is a classic volante, with a nose for the ball, an aggressive attitude, and the strength to muscle an opponent off the ball.
Inamoto's injury was expected to sideline him for only a few months, but Fulham apparently was not willing to wait, whereas Gamba was more than happy to have him back, even if he was only doing promotional and publicity duty.
Junichi Inamoto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (383 words)
Inamoto scored two goals for the Japanese National Team at the 2002 World Cup, but was released by Arsenal shortly after.
Inamoto ended up signing with West Bromwich Albion for a decidedly small £200,000 transfer fee, which was only to be paid once he had made an appearance for the Midlands club.
