Foreign XI

[Jedi Shrimper]

Ok, not sure if this has been done before but Napster's Oldies thread made me think of this. What would our best XI of foreign players look like?

We'll class foreign as meaning no UK players, and no irish either. Ideally 11 players from 11 different countries.

Here's a few to start us off...

GK Federici (Australia)
RB
LB
CB Lapper (USA)
CB
CM Nielsen (Denmark)
CM
RW
LW
CF Cagigao (Spain)
CF Goater (Bermuda)

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

GK Federici (Australia)
RB
LB
CB Lapper (USA)
CB Dervite (France)
CM Nielsen (Denmark)
CM
RW
LW
CF Cagigao (Spain)
CF Goater (Bermuda)

 

[Smiffy]

CM Lars Unger (Germany)

 

[palexander]

Regis Coubalt (France) Played right-back on his (sub) debut - or CM usually.

Petter Belsvick (Norway?) - CF
Moussa of course, Belgium

 

[Napster]

tes Bramble of montserrat

 

[Napster]

John Nielson was a good player I thought. JCR was Jamaican.

 

[Firestorm]

Eddie Firmani (Italy and South Africa)

Andy Polycarpou ?

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Ronnie Whelan (Ireland)

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Jeroen Boere (Mars) :)

 

[Napster]

Ronnie Whelan (Ireland)

No irish allowed.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

No irish allowed.

Does seem a bit discriminatory, since they are essentially as foreign as anyone else?

John Nielson was a good player I thought. JCR was Jamaican.

I still fondly remember Nielsen's debut in a friendly v Spurs. He came on as a sub and promptly tackled a spurs player, two-footed. At chest height. Then he scored a half-volley from outside the area. :happy:

 

[Harold Bishop Killer]

Miguel De Souza

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

Freddy Eastwood (Wales) ??

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Freddy Eastwood (Wales) ??

Unfortunately Wales is still part of the UK.

Shocked no-one has gone for Tunisia.
