Pep clotet feels like an insane fever dream.

And Diaz?

 

[Marked Ox]

And Diaz?

Diaz's time was fun especially with Corbo and laughing at Diaz jnr.

 

[n1]

Neither of these can stake a claim for the best. But all memorable.

Cominelli was one of the Argentines that played the most under Diaz. Seem to remember that he'd go in 2 footed all the time!

Andre Arendse deserves a mention! Politest keeper were ever had. Waved at every ball that went into the area. Pretty famous guy in South Africa and played at the World Cup I think.

Hubert Busby Junior...!

 

[Oufcrealist]

Toni Martinez was pretty decent!!
Shame we couldn't have loaned him the following season, I'm sure he would have improved even more with us.
Look where he is now!!

And one for the 'old un's' Bud Houghton who was born in India to Anglo-Indian parents. Prolific goalscorer as we came up from non league to Div 4.

Greek full back George Baldock

 

[CCYellow]

Ivo Pekalski!!!

I'd say have to say Ricardinho.

 

[Osei Yaw]

Emiliano Martinez. Won the FA Cup and Copa America.

 

[Leysboy]

Doudou was Doodoo

 

[Wandering Yellow]

Ricardinho for me.

 

[mooro]

Mark Watson is apparently 6th most capped Canadian player

Remember him being a classy player , we could have done with him staying around, even if we lost him for Canada games

 

[oufc1991]

How about Juan Pablo Raponi or Matteo corbo
Tcham N'Toya wasn't bad either

 

[Berliner]

Think a lot of these players played either only a few games for us (so difficult to judge whether they were that good) or weren't foreign in that they played international football for a foreign country while they are British (in my eyes at least).

It's actually a really tough one. On balance I would have to go for Remy and Evans, especially given the level of football we were playing with them in the team. With honourable mentions for Watson and Lundin.

Gorrin will, over time, also be seen in the same bracket I think.

 

[dickwalton1964]

If Fosu counts - born in London but played for Ghana - then I’d say him. If not then Richardinho or Gorrin, probably Richardinho on a purely technical level. Ceri Evans was a good player too.

 

[OX14]

Shandon Baptiste for me.

 

[Oxford57]

Corbo for me, made the most instant impression,mostly on the opposite team

 

[ECYellow]

*searched YouTube for Dexes Midnight Runners*

Oh GINO!

 

[Emilio]

I presume the idea here is that we are not including players born/grown up in the UK/Ireland, so no Roofe, for example.

They have all already been listed here. In no specific order.

Corbo
Raponi
Gorin
Lundin
Ricardinho

I'm sure there's a big one staring me in the face that I just can't see. Pretty sure it's not Xemi or Mark E'Beyer.

 

[SteMerritt]

Pal Lundin was not too bad.

 

[MJB]

Pal Lundin was not too bad.

Very good at fixing broken pipes too.
