Scapegoat Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Inspired by another thread asking why we don't get more players from overseas - I thought I'd ask who you think is out most successful 'imported' player. For this I'd say non British / Irish - as english footballl has always been filled with Scots, Welsh and Irish. Initial front runner - Gunner Halle?

Initial front runner - Gunner Halle? one horse race, how can anybody else be considered? End of thread? Having said that.......... there was that centre half who ended up playing for Inter(?) for several seasons after he left us and not even Gunnar or Stitch can claim that. Jan Torre Pedersen or something close . Only played about 12 games and was class Had leg broken by some dirty Trotter other wise we would STILL be in the Prem!!

Played for a lot of clubs though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tore_Pedersen Gunnar all the way. Ole "permanent trialist" Bjorn Sundgot should feature in the 11. Ended up with Bradford for a while.

leeslover Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Got to be Gunnar, although I've every hope that Sweetleftfootovich will feature in this debate in a few years time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
