And while the Belgium international has kept some of the most deadly marksmen in the Premier League under wraps, it was former Celtic target man John Hartson who caused him the most bother.Aged just 17, the former Anderlecht defender recalled how the Wales international and Henrik Larsson caused him all sorts of grief in a Champions League tie in 2003.“I’ve faced many, many great strikers,” he told Sporf. “And I’ve had good games and sometimes difficult games.“But the toughest one was when I was actually still a kid and I was 17 years old playing against a great Celtic side.The duo tangle back in 20032

“And on the other side was Larsson and Hartson which was an unbelievable strike force that they had at the time.“And Hartson was just so big! And, at the time, I was about 10 kilos lighter.“And every challenge in the air or whatever I was just asking question of myself – ‘How come I can’t even see the ball when it is coming?’“So he’s probably not the strongest striker I have played against. But it was the toughest for the age I was at the period and the profile he was at the time.” The game itself finished 3-1 to the Bhoys as they secured a Champions League win at Parkhead with three first half goals.Martin O’Neill’s side went two up inside 17 minutes thanks to goals from Larsson and Liam Miller.And the rout was complete before the half hour mark thanks to Chris Sutton, makingAruna Dindane’s goal a mere consolation.

On 22 August 2008, Premier League club Manchester City signed Kompany from Hamburg on a four-year contract for an undisclosed fee. Two days later, Kompany made his Manchester City debut against West Ham United. On 28 September, Kompany scored his first goal in City's 2-1 away defeat by Wigan Athletic.
