Li Tie - who as a teenager trained abroad in Brazil with the sponsorship of a Chinese sports drink - developed into the most important member of the Chinese national side.
He played his club football at Liaoning Bodao where he was regarded as the best player in the country.
As part of the club's sponsorship deal with electronics company Kejian, Everton signed him on a year long loan deal after the 2002 World Cup Finals before concluding a three-year deal in August 2003.
Li joined Sheffield United in July 2006 with a two-year contract but was made available for transfer in May 2007.
