Imants Bleidelis (born August 16, 1975 in Riga[[1]]) is a football midfielder from Latvia. As of April 2007 he has played 99 international matches and scored 10 goals for the Latvia national team. He debuted in 1995, and played at the Euro 2004. He started his career in FC Skonto, who sold him to Southampton F.C. for £600,000, where he joined his fellow-countryman Marian Pahars. His spell there turned out to be a fiasco as he played only 2 games in three seasons, and he moved on to play for Viborg FF, then for Grazer AK, but now he is playing for FK Jūrmala.
