Directory of Foreign Duffers

[BFR]

Given it got lost in the move I'll just have to start again

 

basically an opportunity to rejoice in some of the overseas tripe we've seen on these shores since the Premiership's inception in 1992. Just come up with a Johnny Foreigner who (dis)graced the Premier League and the club who were stupid enough to pay for them

 

e.g. Andrea Silenzi, bought by Nottingham Forest

 

Simple

 

To get the ball rolling

 

Alex Nyarko - Everton

 

Was so bad that an Everton fan ran onto the field in the middle of the game and tried to remove Nyarko's shirt, because he wasn't fit to wear their colours

marco boogers - west ham

 

got sent off, lived in a caravan, you know the drill, yada yada yada

[BFR]

Georgi Hristov - Barnsley

 

More famous for calling the women of Barnsley pig ugly, than find the back of the net

[Barry Scott]

ali daeh - southampton

 

was recommended by someone claiming to be George weah. Came on as a sub and was subbed off about 15 minutes later. Signed for gateshead. Came on as a 60th minute sub, was subbed of 20 minutes later. Makes me look like Raul

Paolo Futre - West Ham

 

Refused to play when learning he was not given Squad Number 10. Futre Ten was all he could utter before jumping in a Taxi.

florin radiciou - west ham utd

 

so much promise, so little proof

[GarySTFC]

Tomas Repka - Doing the biz for West Ham

Salif Diao - The Senegalese Crab

Massimo Taibi - Super Stopper

Mark Bosnich - Sniff Sniff

[Barry Scott]

that's not far, one at a time boy

 

william prunier - manchester united

 

who? exactly

[BFR]

Jokanovic - Chelsea

 

I've never met any Chelsea fan who had time for this guy. Claudio's bum boy by all accounts

[Barry Scott]

allan neilsen - tottenham

 

called a total unmitigated disaster in a fanzine

True, but he pissed off leicester fans scoring in the cup final so all good in my opinion.

Steve Marlet - Fulham

£12 million for him? Surely one of the most expensive flops ever.

[Big J R]

Bogarde - Chelsea. (I can't believe I'm typing this)

 

On a four year contract, and can't even get a 'reserves' game.

 

Has to train with the yoof squads, and does so, just to get his bl**dy wages each week.

 

Thank God for Roman, who can afford to keep paying him !

[Barry Scott]

faustino asprilla - newcastle united

 

before tino: 12 points clear in the premiership and cruising

after tino: lost the title to man utd.

 

talk about messing with the balance of a team

[Martin]

Bosko Balaban - Aston Villa £6.5 million never started a Premiership match, only started two games - league cup. Never scored and today had his contract ended by mutual consent 2 years into a five year deal.

[Barry Scott]

cobi jones - coventry city

 

awful hair, worse player

[BFR]

Mixu Paatelainen - Bolton

 

Is the name not enough? Reached his level in the lower leagues of scottish football

[George Borg 2 Junior]

Thomas Brolin

 

£4.5m worth of Fat Swede who flopped at Leeds. After the worst display in history in the 1995 Coca Cola Cup Final v Aston Villa went on to play in goal for a norwegian Second Division Team...

He and Attilio Lombardo went to croydon to add some class to the eagles. Class without the Cl more like
