The 2000 Asian Player of the Year, Nawaf Al Temyat would surely have made a greater impact on the world stage if it were not for his injury record, which has robbed him of much of his career since then.

The midfielder, who was once seen as the rising star of Saudi Arabian football, wrecked his knee in 2001 and while he was still named in the national team's 2002 World Cup squad in South Korea and Japan, he saw little game time.

The playmaker's luck needs to turn because when he is fit, he can be a magician when in possession of the ball.
