One of the most prolific striker Georgia has ever produced, Shota Arveladze became an instant hit when he joined Ajax from Trabzonspor in 1997, scoring 25 goals in 31 games.
He stayed on for three seasons at Ajax, and had one other significant season before joining Glasgow Rangers once Zlatan Ibrahimovic came to Ajax from Malmö FF.
At the Rangers, he was a regular starter, along with the likes of ex-Ajax teammate, Ronald de Boer. However, with some Celtic dominance, courtesy of Swedish striker, Henrik Larsson, he was unable to bring many Scottish League trophies.
In 2005, he left for AZ Alkmaar, hoping that this new, young club could repeat it's amazing previous season, under new manager, Louis van Gaal, who was his manager at Ajax for the earlier part of his career.
Arvaladze made his mark straight away, scoring two goals on his debut against promoted Sparta Rotterdam.
