Greatest Foreigners' XI

[BillyStubbsTears]

Just seen a similar thread on the Wensdeh site, eulogising Nilsson, Petrescu, Stefanovic, Di Canio, Carbone et al.

I wonder if the trolls will cotton on to the irony.

I wonder if they'll cotton on a bit more when we paddle their arse on Tuesday.

I can't believe that I was excited when he signed!

[northern soul]

Can we even fill the bench?

Tony Neilsen
Quentin Fortune
Jamie Lawrence
Darren Moore
Jonathon Forte (does he count as only a loanee?)

[eastender]

Just about fill the bench

SEREMET Dino  (GK)  YUGOSLAVIA

TORFASON Guomundur (F) ICELAND

PRIET Nicolas  (D)  FRENCH

LUA-LUA Kazenga (W)  DR CONGO

IPOUA Guy  (F)  CAMEROON

[Al4475]

Hakan Hayrettin maybe?

Hakan Ramis-Hayrettin (born February 4, 1970) is an English former professional footballer. He was born in Enfield, London to Turkish parents.

Or does the fact he was born in Enfield scupper the whole foreigner thing?

[DonnyNoel]

Can we have \"offical\" clarification on the eligibility of players from the Irish Republic? Or are they excluded to make it more of a challenge?

But no, Colin Hawkins doesn't make it either way.

[BillyStubbsTears]

No, RoI doesn't count for these purposes.

Course, if RoI DID count, then O'Driscoll could be manager. And Heffernan could be on the bench...

[Biggles]

And Eddie Gormley would start.

[DonnyNoel]

Ok.

Prince Moncrieffe  

[Drover]

Jamie Lawrence also played for Jamaica but was born in Battersea?

[DonnyNoel]

B*lls! Forgot about Jamie Lawrence  

(I only scrolled back through 11 years of squad lists!)

What limited information there is about Prince Moncrieffe suggests hem was born in England and hasn't represesnted anyone at international level?

[Drover]

Oh sorry,Got the Moncrieffe born in Jamaica from this website page.


Was here....

[DonnyNoel]

That's probably correct then as I used the notoriously bad soccerbase!

[Dutch Uncle]

If we allow loan players like Dino Seremet then we can certainly include John Filan

Isn't it about time people laid off this guy as well? The player was never given a go here and was a quality player for past teams like Wednesday. He even scored some screamers. If given half a chance (like Walker was doing when caretaker) he would have been a good asset to the team in league 1 for sure, but true to form Rovers fans are quick to criticise if not an instant impact.

[eastender]

Here's a couple more that qualify
 
George Berry (CD) West Germany

Dylan Kerr (D) Malta

[Dutch Uncle]

Although George Berry was born in Germany he was actually a full Welsh international, so I think it is clear which his choice of nationality was.

Dylan Kerr was Maltese born, but according to Wiki is English so I guess the jury's out on that one

[Highland Rover]

How about our Canadian international , Colin Miller ??

and maybe that other ' Canadian ' Paul James ( who has figured in worst Rovers Xl of all time !! )

[DonnyNoel]

Whilst he never featured for us, wasn't Dennis Kindel (youth keeper) Canadian also?

Colin Miller ..although he was a Canadian international he was actually born in Hamilton Scotland.

[Akinfenwa]

Jon-Paul Pittman came on as a late substitute for us once. Done okay since he left us.

Yes mate, he was. I too thought of him. He was quite highly rated (I'm pretty sure he represented Canada at some level) but then he was released and disappeared.

[slimrab]

Does Colin Douglas count

[slimrab]

Does Colin Douglas count

[MrFrost]

Dino Maamria?
Tarkan Mustafa?

[TheRev]

I don't know, does Colin Douglas count?

Does anybody know Douggie well enough to answer that question?
I'm sure he can get to ten.... B)

[Branton Rover]

Paul James had a serious eye condition which if memory serves eventually  sent him blind or it might be my memory that's gone doolally.  Anyway what about Dean Walling, St Kitts & Nevis I believe

I thought that was Paul Wlliams - or maybe I've gone doolally!
