Crystal Palace new boy Edgar Davids dishes the dirt on some of the players he has played with down the years.

Crystal Palace new boy Edgar Davids dishes the dirt on some of the players he has played with down the years. Every week Soccer AM asks players and former pros to dish the dirt on their team-mates. This week it' the turn of Crystal Palace new boy Edgar Davids who gave us the lowdown on a host of players he came across during a brilliant career, which included spells with Ajax, AC Milan, Juventus and Barcelona. BEST MATE
The other week I was at Lilian Thuram's place and then I was with Paolo Montero in Uruguay, and a couple of players come and visit me when I'm in Amsterdam or Italy. BIGGEST NICKNAME
I liked to play against Emerson (Ferreira da Rosa) because his nickname was the puma so it was always the puma against the pit-bull! HARDMAN
Paolo Montero because not only was he a hard opponent but he was hard on himself. Sometimes when he was injured he would play to help the team and everybody admired him for that. QUICKEST
I think the quickest was Marc Overmars. He was really, really fast. MOST SKILFUL
With (Zinedine) Zidane it just happened naturally. It's like he's between time and space. Every time he touches the ball it looks as though everything stands still. It's so beautiful. WORST TASTE IN MUSIC
(Dimitar) Berbatov. He was like put this on so I was like OK and it was like Biggie Smalls, Tupac, I was like what the hell is this all about! It was so funny because you don't expect it from that player. BEST DANCER
Luis Garcia. He danced one time in the changing room at Barcelona and I was like OK... OK - don't fight me! No, he was good. AND... WHO'S THE LONGEST IN THE SHOWER
The longest!? Are you gay? What's wrong with you man!
