Manchester City probably felt a little short-changed by that return, as evidenced by the arrival of Wilfried Bony 18 months later. Stevan Jovetic had the last laugh in 2021 when he became only the second player to ever score in each of Europe’s current top five leagues.

You don’t mess with the Zoltan, which was a lesson many would eventually come to learn throughout the mid-2000s and early 2010s. Gera scored against them all, from Manchester United and Liverpool to Spurs and Chelsea. Some chancers called Juventus, too.
Footballer:
Wood was born in Auckland and started his senior career with Cambridge FC, Waikato FC and Hamilton Wanderers before moving to England to play for Premier League side West Bromwich Albion. He spent his time on loan to six different clubs before joining Leicester City in 2015. After a loan spell with Ipswich Town in 2015, he signed for Championship club Leeds United where he became top scorer in the 2016–17 season. He then joined Burnley for a club record fee in the Premier League.
Wood has been capped 60 times for the New Zealand national team, scoring 27 goals. He played for the side at the 2010 FIFA World Cup, and was part of the squad that won the 2016 OFC Nations Cup.
Transfermarkt:
In May 2010, Wood was named in the All Whites World Cup squad for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, and at 18 was the youngest member of the New Zealand team which travelled to South Africa.
He came on as a substitute in the first group match in a 1–1 draw against Slovakia as New Zealand claimed their first ever point in a World Cup finals match.
He appeared as a substitute in New Zealand’s remaining group matches, a 1–1 draw with Italy and a 0–0 draw with Paraguay, as they were knocked out of the tournament after drawing all three group games.
