Mohammad came to the Whites late 2007, one of the many who just seem to wander in to the Stadium of White.
In his fleeting appearances in 2007 (4 games) it was instantly obvious that our new import from Saudi Arabia had loads of talent, the hard bit for the Whites was for us to get him to play for the season.
Mohammad's first touch in his first game for the 'napisanned' ones was a goal (making him only the second ever white to 'Pull a Hilal'). This in a 3-0 win over Pembroke.
Mo then went missing for that infamous game in the Victoria Park racecourse, and we thought perhaps we had just gained another player who would come and go as he pleased.
However, in the next two games Mo also scored goals, and amazingly the scorelines were again both 3-0.
Unfortunately for us, in his fourth game he tore a hamstring against Rostrevor, prematurely ending his season and also ending our run of three goal wins.
He always promised however to be back and raring to go for the next season!
In 2008 Mohammad did come back... Back with a vengeance! As early on in the season it seemed as though his goal scoring run would continue all year. The highlight has to be the lobbed header from the edge of the box against Rostrevor, amazing in itself, but even more so when you consider he was not even facing the goals at the time, and yet still placed it perfectly into the far corner.
Mohammad seems to have an innate ability to know just when his opponent is about to tackle him, because he seems to always be able to move the ball on, just a fraction before the defender hits, he's also deceptively strong and quick, even though it often look as though he's barely jogging up the pitch.
The little maestro has been a revelation at the Whites this year, and has been exciting enough for one former Uni White coach to call him 'The X Factor'.
