Best foreign line up for City

[Bill 1,788]

as we seemed to be linked with a number of ''foreign johnnies'' I wondered what would be our best team of past players from abroad

Wot? No Drazen Muzinic...[:D]It is a pretty poor team, showing we haven''t had too many good overseas players in the past. I would, though, dump Anselin and plonk in Errol Crossan, who was born in Canada.

[Bill 1,788]

It was more of an opener than any definite eleven, so

Great topic. I always liked Eric Fugelstad. Remember him scoring a great goal against Sheffield United. Oh and what about Whitbread?

or perhaps it might have helped if you  had read this bit"

It was more of an opener than any definite eleven, so"and Gary Doherty is not foreign,  as regards qualifying as a foreign player  and Tony Warner would hardly rate about Sandy Keenan even if he wasn''t English born

Surely Etuhu makes it ahead of Matty ''driving drunk in my pants'' Patty.

[/quote]Well if being born outside the City wall doesn''t count as being proper furrin I reckon Arturo Lupoli might have had the best strike ratio so swap him for effin cocoa please.

Ireland is not part of UK or GB...

They''d probably get quite upset at you counting them as not being foreign.

And Brennan, Canadian isn''t he? What''s wrong with him?

[Bill 1,788]

"Surely Etuhu makes it ahead of Matty ''driving drunk in my pants'' Patty"

err no, the idea was for players who came from abroad (or grew up abroad) when they signed (proper furriners) which is why  Arturo Lupoli has been added as a sub, as has the Helveg chap
