But, why did his West Ham United career only see him make just over 25 appearances? How did his controversial footballing existence pan out? And, more importantly, where is he now? With that, a star had been born, one that would go on to dazzle fans up and down the Country with his flair and talent. But, the winger had impressed enough over the course of that campaign to catch the attention of Bryan Robson, who was able to take him to The North East with Newcastle United, for a similar fee as his last move.

In that time, he had also represented Great Britain at the Summer Olympics, scoring at Old Trafford against Senegal, bringing him nicely to his final Footballing resting place with Cardiff. Luckily for Bellamy, this would be a superb period as he guided his boyhood club to The Premier League for the first time by winning the Championship, the following season becoming the first player in PL history to score for seven different clubs.
