Unabomber Posted 25 May 2015 Posted 25 May 2015 Poor quoting skills. I had to delete my post I had no idea how to save that.
Strokes Posted 25 May 2015 Posted 25 May 2015 I had to delete my post I had no idea how to save that. Probably for the best, not worth saving imo
Unabomber Posted 25 May 2015 Posted 25 May 2015 Probably for the best, not worth saving imo I appreciate your o mate.
Strokes Posted 25 May 2015 Posted 25 May 2015 Honesty is derailing this fab thread, what about Lillian nalis?
4everfox Posted 25 May 2015 Author Posted 25 May 2015 No he wanted to play international football. I think at the time the Turkish government let him off with national service to play. Would he have done national service to play for them me thinks not. Ok smartarse, players to represent nations other than British ones regardless of birthplace. How about Joey Gudjonsson? The best of a bad bunch. Speaking of Icelandic players, Arnar Gunlaugsson. I remember the whole of Filbert Street screaming at him to shoot from 25 yards and he obliged and smashed it into the back of the net, forgotten the opponent though.
Oxfordfox83 Posted 25 May 2015 Posted 25 May 2015 Best childhood foreigner: Arnie Best "amazed noone's mentioned him yet": Kasper Best "absolutely dogshit import": Spider Kalac Beast import: Wasyl Best player in the Prem this season: Cambiasso!
sylofox Posted 26 May 2015 Posted 26 May 2015 Col one from your mid 20's? How about the mighty Fin Jari Ratanan (however it is spelt) lol
Sampson Posted 26 May 2015 Posted 26 May 2015 Cambiasso Kaamark Schmeichel Wasilewski Berner Keller Mahrez Knockaert Zagorakis showed glimpses but was always 2nd choice behind Lennon and never really got a proper run. Tunchev looked very good for his half season, but then got that horrible injury and unfortunately we never saw what he could've been above League One level (though I'm sure he would've been great at Championship level at least). Gunlaugsson, Abe and Rantanen were fun and a bit cult-heroish but in all honesty, a bit shit. Dabizas was just a mediocre Championship defender. Kermorgant, well, we all know the story of that one. Muzzy Izzet was a full blown cockney. Even though he played for Turkey, I very much doubt he defines himself as Turkish. Similar to players like Morgan and Sinclair with Jamaica.
bovril Posted 26 May 2015 Posted 26 May 2015 Cambiasso and Kaamark. Pontus had a right boot so cultured it read poetry and went to the opera when it wasn't kicking footballs.
Guest Col city fan Posted 26 May 2015 Posted 26 May 2015 Col one from your mid 20's? How about the mighty Fin Jari Ratanan (however it is spelt) lol Please don't tell me you mean Jari Litmanen? Get out!
Rocket-Ron Posted 26 May 2015 Posted 26 May 2015 Bernie's not even from this planet. always there thick or thin.
Jimothy Posted 26 May 2015 Posted 26 May 2015 Please don't tell me you mean Jari Litmanen? Get out! No, he means Jari Rantanen. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jari_Rantanen
foxes4ever Posted 26 May 2015 Posted 26 May 2015 Pontus Kaamark has to be noted among our overseas players for me. His man to man marking of Juninho was master class. It was one of the reasons we lifted the league cup in 97 against Middlesbrough. Very capable player and one of the best imports in my view.
BoyJones Posted 26 May 2015 Posted 26 May 2015 Frank "own goal" Sinclair, never a dull moment when he was on the pitch. He was a decent player who loved his football.
