A rugged, uncompromising central defender, Carlos Cuellar also played a number of games at right-back following his arrival from Glasgow Rangers during the 2008 summer transfer window.
The Spaniard made a name for himself in his own country before being snapped up by Rangers, although he spent only one season at Ibrox Park following his transfer from Osasuna in the summer of 2007.
If his time in Scotland was relatively short, however, it was a huge success. Cuellar was an integral member of a team who won the Scottish Cup and Scottish League Cup, and also reached the UEFA Cup final before losing to Russians Zenit St. Petersburg at the City of Manchester Stadium.
He was so impressive, in fact, that he was voted SPL Player of the Year and also named Player of the Year by the Scottish Football Writers' Association.
Now he is hoping to enjoy similar success in claret and blue after adjusting to the faster pace of the Barclays Premier League.
