Paul Scharner was an unknown quantity when he arrived at Wigan in January 2006 - but he soon carved out a reputation as a determined and dogged defender who would also be a real danger when deployed in a forward role.
Scharner had initially been courted by Birmingham only for Brann to reject a bid from the Blues, whose relegation plight was also a major concern for the player.
Scharner was linked with a move away from the JJB in the summer of 2007 but Wigan insisted he would be going nowhere.
