From Boro to Fulham to Birmingham, Queudrue's Premier League career was nothing if not eventful.The first Japanese player to play in England’s top flight, Inamoto went from Arsenal frustration to Fulham cult hero, scoring European hat‑tricks and delivering iconic goals before moving on to West Brom.
