Club career
WANKER
Traoré started his career at home club Laval before moving on to Liverpool, with Gérard Houllier paying £500,000 for him in February 1999. His career at Liverpool has had some ups and downs — he played for most of the 2002–03 season, deputising for the injured Stéphane Henchoz, having been on loan with French club Lens the previous season.
He spent the 2003-04 season, Houllier's last at the club, in the reserve team, of which he was captain, and almost left Liverpool for their Merseyside neighbours Everton on the 2004 transfer deadline day but remained at Liverpool. Traoré was a player whose career appeared to have been revitalised by Rafael Benítez. While the defender had been continually exposed for being poor positionally, and seemed reticent to attack, particularly during the 2004-05 season, he showed more willingness to support the left winger, as well as improving his positional play.
Nonetheless, his mistakes opened him up to a large amount of criticism. Memorably, Traoré scored a bizarre own-goal in the third round of the 2004–05 FA Cup against Championship side Burnley, as he attempted an ill-advised turn and drag-back within his own six-yard box. It turned out to be the only goal of the game and handed Burnley a 1-0 victory over their more illustrious Premiership opponents.
Despite this, Traoré remained a regular at Liverpool, and eventually made the starting line-up as Liverpool qualified for the Champions League Final that season, against AC Milan. He was poor in the first half of the final, conceding the free kick that led to Paolo Maldini's goal in the opening minutes. However, he improved substantially in the second half, and his greatest moment was clearing a shot from Andriy Shevchenko off the goal-line. Traoré then became the first Malian to win a UEFA Champions League winners medal as Liverpool eventually beat Milan on penalties.
In the 2005-06 season, Traoré found his first team appearances limited, with John Arne Riise and Stephen Warnock also starting regularly at left back. It was to be his last season with Liverpool, and, although he had played some part in Liverpool's pre-season in 2006, he was sold to Charlton Athletic for £2 million on 8 August 2006.[1]
Charlton
Traore was sent off on his Addicks debut on August 19 2006, after receiving two yellow cards, the latter of which was for hauling down West Ham's Marlon Harewood. This was the fifth time in eight seasons an Addick player had been sent off on the first game of the season. He later suffered a double leg break and was out for most of the season.[citation needed] After only half a season at the Valley, Traoré was allowed to leave the club by new manager Alan Pardew, joining Harry Redknapp's Portsmouth for a fee believed to be in the region of £1m.[2]
FIRST FOOTBALLER WITH NO FEET
On January 13 2007, he played his first Premier League game with Portsmouth against Sheffield United.[3]
