He should NEVER have been allowed to leave the club! Bellamy, Hughes, Henry, Sheedy and more
Craig Bellamy tucked away the all important goal at Anfield to book Liverpool a first Wembley final since 1996 and dump former club Man City out of the 2012 League Cup.
talkSPORT brings you six players who've also inflicted pain on their former clubs on the big stage, with video highlights…
1) FERNANDO MORIENTES: Monaco v Real Madrid, Champions League quarter-final 2003/04
Spanish forward Morientes was on loan from Real Madrid when he helped Monaco dump them out of Europe. First, he grabbed a crucial late goal at the Bernabeu - a game Madrid won 4-2 - then, in the return leg, Morientes scored again, helping the French side to a 3-1 win that sent them through on away goals.
2) Thierry Henry: Arsenal v Juventus, Champions League quarter-final 2005/06
Perhaps Arsene Wenger's most inspired signing, Henry was snapped up in 1999 from Juventus, where he never fulfilled his promise out wide. Seven years later Wenger had developed him into one of Europe's most feared marksmen, and Henry repaid his faith by sealing a 2-0 victory over Fabio Capello's side to help the Gunners towards their first ever Champions League semi-final.
3) DENIS LAW: Man United v Man City, English First Division 1973/74
In his last professional outing, the Scottish forward scored a cheeky back heel at Old Trafford during a second stint with Man City to help them secure a 1-0 win. It was the last game of the season and United were relegated from the English top tier - Law didn't celebrate, thinking his goal had consigned his former club to the drop, but it turned out due to ther results they were doomed anyway.
4) Mark Hughes: Man United v Barcelona, Cup Winners' Cup final, 1991
Following an unsuccessful two-year spell with Barca, Hughes was sent out on loan to Bayern Munich and later sold back to United when free-flowing philosopher of the game Johan Cruyff took over. He came back to haunt them with both goals for Fergie's men in the Cup Winners' Cup showpiece.
5) KARIM BENZEMA: Real Madrid v Lyon, Champions League last 16, 2010/11
Benzema twice stuck the knife into Lyon, the club he joined as a nine-year-old and won four league titles with. In France, he grabbed a crucial away goal for Madrid which Lyon later cancelled out, then scored again in Real's 3-0 home win a week later.

6) KEVIN SHEEDY: Liverpool v Everton, First Division 1986/87
Four game-deprived years at Anfield convinced midfielder Sheedy to join local rivals Everton, with the Blues stumping up £100,00 for his signature in 1982. He helped Howard Kendall's Toffees rise to challenge Liverpool for English supremacy, winning the FA Cup in 1984, then league title and Cup Winners' Cup in 1985. In April 1987, with the sides tussling for the title and Liverpool desperate to close a six-point gap on Everton, Sheedy sent a rocket into the top corner (see video below) and celebrated by sticking two fingers up at the Kop. Liverpool won the game 3-1, but Everton lifted the First Division crown, helped in no small part by 13 goals from Sheedy. He later admitted: “I usually just put one finger up to signal a goal, but, it being the Kop end, two fingers just automatically went up.”
