After starting his career at Tonnerre Yaounde, Rigobert left Cameroon to sign for Metz in 1994.
He then spent a season in Italy with Salernitana before moving on to Liverpool in 1999.
Although he initially became a firm favourite with The Kop, the efficient if somewhat eccentric right-sided defender struggled to establish his place and Gerard Houllier often preferred to play Steven Gerrard out of position to fill his right back role.
He moved to West Ham United in November 2000.
A change of management at Upton Park did not work in Rigobert's favour, and he was allowed to join Koln in November 2001 for the rest of the season.
The Cameroon captain continues to impress for his country though, scoring the penalty that clinched the African Nations Cup in Nigeria in February 2000 and leading the Lions to a repeat success in the 2002 finals in Mali.
