You can see why Lambert is against signing foreign players when you see a list like that

I bet its the only Top 10 list Jurgen Colin will ever make too

Does England count as part of Europe?

Etuhu. Always a handful and always seemed to score when i had a few quid on him.

[quote user="Canaries Canary"]Etuhu. Always a handful and always seemed to score when i had a few quid on him.[/quote]Although born in Nigeria he grew up in England and came through the Man City system so didn''t really come with the cultural and footballing differences.

Yes. I was talking to the Admiral yesterday about relocating the USS England to the Mediterranean to help out with the Israeli - Turkey situation, but not until after my trip there.

Best no to. The Israelis would only board us in international waters, murder a load of innocent people and then claim it was their "right"......

[ricardo 5,570]

Eroll Crossan, no argument.But then I guess most of you never saw him.

[Go Wash Your Mouth Out Son 0]

What even happend to Pape Dioup ???

[paul ncfc 0]

Wynton Rufer, or should that be" The best non European player who wanted to but was never allowed to play for City"?

[Its only my opinion 0]

Efan Ekoku

[Mister Chops 3]

Safri was class, Brennan was alright, David Carney and Chris Killen were shizzle.

[norfolkbroadslim 223]

The answer is Henrik Mortensen

[Big Slob 0]

If they class Lita as DR Congo, even though he''s played for England u21''s, then surely Earnshaw should be classed as Zambian? Therefore would he rank wnywhere?

That''s the Chris Killen who will be playing for New Zealand in South Africa this month...but yes, I agree he was crap

[Syteanric 1]

[quote user="It only my opinion"]Efan Ekoku[/quote]spot on!Damien Francis played for Jamaica so he counts too...Zak whitbread will qualify for the list one day as well!
