He was decent. Some excellent goal line clearances.
He's one of those that people get a little over-romantic about though, remembering this magnificent defender who never conceded a goal.

Wasn't he one of the main reasons we kept out Man U in the Barthez taxi win?

It was around the time Harry was spunking the Rio money on loads of players. Bizarrely, in a spree that (I think) included Raggy Soma, Song, Todorov, Schemmel and Titi Camara, Tihinen was the best of the lot. And Redknapp decided against making his move permanent!
Probably not represented by his son, like most of the others...

Yes I remember him and like Schemmel he was a poor player that managed to play like a god for a season or two...

Thought he was quite good. Don't know why we didn't sign him.

I asked Harry about him once and why we never signed him (not long after his loan had finished).
He actually said he had the wrong agent.

As OTB has said, he's one of those players who have got better in the years that have past.
He was with us for 3 months and played alright in a couple of games, yet people build him up like he's a cult hero or something.

Lily, yes - he was involved in that win.
Titi Camara coming on as a late sub still makes me chuckle.

I think part of the reason there's this romantic pedestalling of tihinen is henpkayed well during his loan spell as a replacement for Rio, then we wouldn't stump up there case to buy him permanently and ended up with the likes of daily, song, soma, fixed, todorov etc who were all far far worse
Actually started the process of Harry's demise/departure

He only started half a dozen games 15 years ago but he seems to get an annual thread.

Wrong OT win mate. It wasn't the Tevez great escape, it was the PDC vs Barhtez Le Taxi (Joe's brother) cup win.
