Peter Leven hell of a player!

I'm sure some people must think Kensington is foreign...Er was George Lawrence foreign?
Surely the 2 footed challenges were Mateo Corbo (from Uruguay).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...!
Ha, I bet he’s very modest too, and has a super fit wife!Ceri Evans - Wikipedia

I met Ceri Evans a couple of times. Very nice bloke. Combined being a pro footballer with finishing off his PhD, as you do. I also met his University PhD supervisor, who told me he was an ‘outstanding‘ student. And he was apparently an excellent cricketer, but couldn’t find the time to play first class. Oh well. Football-wise, he was a very decent Division Two (now Championship) centre half. Good in the air and tough. He’s my second favourite foreign player. Number one has to be Matteo Corbo. He was obviously good, but appeared borderline mad. I once saw him shoulder charge a winger into the hoardings. And at number three, another left back Ricardinho. The only player of any note found by Clotet on his Eurotrash Scouting Tour.Ha, I bet he’s very modest too, and has a super fit wife!
He must be within a shout of being best foreign player. Not sure Martinez was here long enough to qualify.
They were born there but I suspect are pretty naturalised by now. I’m interpreting the thread to mean guys who were born and lived most of their life abroadNigerian, the pair of them
