Marians Pahars Biography

Marians Pahars is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on August 5, 1976 in Chornobai, Latvia. Marians Pahars (born 5 August 1976) is a Latvian former manager and football player.

In 1998, he scored 19 goals over 27 games with Skonto and his growth attracted the attention of bigger clubs. He had trials for Salernitana (Italy), Werder Bremen (Germany) and Casino Salzburg (Austria), however, he was recommended by Southampton’s coach Dave Jones by Gary Johnson who is director for the Latvian National team.

He finally made his debut as a 70th-minute substitute away to Coventry City on 5 April 1999, with his home debut at The Dell coming on 17 April, when he came off the bench to score the crucial equaliser – and almost got a winner – against Blackburn Rovers in a 3–3 draw. At this time Saints were desperately trying to survive in the Premier League and had gone into the final game of the season needing a win to guarantee their place for a further season. Pahars scored twice in the 2–0 win over Everton at the Dell, thus securing Saints’ status in the Premiership for the following season.

Saints agreed a fee with Skonto of around £800,000 and despite difficulties in obtaining a work permit and objections from the PFA, these problems were overcome and he joined the Saints in March 1999, thus becoming the first Latvian to play in the FA Premier League.

Pahars joined his first team, the Latvian national team in the beginning of

1996. He was first introduced on March 12 1996, in a friendly 1-0 defeat against Cyprus. The first goal he scored for his nation came in his ninth home match against Poland with a 3-2 loss as well as a friendly match on 17 February 1997.

He made 33 appearances during the 1999–00 season finishing as the club’s top scorer with 13 goals.

In the summer of 2002, Pahars required a hernia operation, which forced him to miss the whole of pre-season and although he scored a penalty in a 1–0 home win over Everton on 11 September he never fully recovered from his injury. His early season was rather stop-start and was not helped by the suspension for receiving a red card at home to Manchester City on 5 October. He then severely injured an ankle in November 2002, which kept him out for most of the rest of the season with another operation on the eve of the FA Cup Final to round off a miserable 2002–03 season.

The start to the 2003–04 season was again hampered by injury and comebacks for the reserves were ruined by injury recurrences. He did manage to play the closing minutes as Latvia claimed a place at Euro 2004. With that as an added incentive to get himself fully fit he found himself back in the Saints starting line up for 3 successive games which all ended in victories. His first goal of the season – and in more than a year – came at home to local rivals Portsmouth on 21 December 2003 in a 3–0 home win when he curled a superb right footer into the bottom right corner.
