Quoted from nightrider
Best:George Santos
George Santos joined Brighton & Hove Albion in August 2006, he turned down an offer to return to former club Grimsby, something he later admitted in an interview as the biggest mistake in his career.

Worst:Mickaël Antoine-Curier

Always thought Ashley Sestanovich was foreign. Is he out of prison yet...


According to his wiki page he was born in Lambeth, London and is of Croatian and Grenadian descent.

It states that he was jailed for 8 years in April 2007 so as most only serve half their term it's a good chance that he'll be out now.

Santos and Bonetti for me Santos was a no nonsense natural born leader Bonetti the cultured highly skilful talisman.

Never seen anybody who could whip in such a wicked cross at pace as good has him,he restored my faith in town when i was starting to get bored and must have put at least an extra thousand on the gate.  

What a shame it ended on a sour note. I liked Laws but he dropped a real clanger there maybe Bonetti and his agent were undermining his authority.

Had a word with him at waterstones whilst buying his autobiography seemed a real quietly
spoken chap LOL

He was born in England too, so can't really be classed as a foreigner.

He's still playing today for Nairn County in The Highland League.

I know it said excluding Ivano but he was fantastic. He's played in the european cup final!

Okay, excluding Ivano I'd say Zhang Enhua was the best foreign player, he should have been through as we were paying him £14500 per WEEK (how times have changed). I think signing him was a brave decision based on trying to access the Chinese market and money which backfired on us as he kept Peter Handyside and Richard Smith out of the side at the time, we ended up losing Peter at the end of the season.

When choosing the worst player I have considered the level we were playing at (Championship) and I choose Knut Anders Fostervold who was shocking IMO. Made Galli look like Roberto Carlos! Serge Makofo had worse ability but he gave it his very best shot and of course played three divisions lower that Knut, fair play to the lad.
