I'm presuming Poojah was referring to direct foreign imports, i.e. those who we've brought to the English game. As opposed to the Pinault and Crocombe types who already had a foot in the English game.

Ivano? 28 years ago this autumn. Frightening!

Quoted from HerveJosse
Most of those obviously not all were able to come and work in the uk on the  back of EU passports. Presumably that is no longer the case?


In theory it's easier and more relaxed to sign foreign players now.

Quoted from Meza


No Ivano, i know you said some might be missing but Ivano, c'mon Poojah have a word   


To be fair, the qualifier was “past 25 years”. I’m sure it makes us all feel old to point out that it’s almost 30 years since we signed Bonetti.

That aside, the point I was making was about signing foreign players from obscurity. Ivano wasn’t obscure; he’d started in the European Cup final three years earlier.


A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.

I know mate was just having a bit of fun.  To be fair i'd probably forget most of the foreign imports lol i.e.Chima Okorie.

Hamish Watson is one that's still going , playing in Australian /New Zealand minor leagues . Not a great example of a good foreign import though .

Moses Ogbu looks to have had a decent career since leaving us, top scorer in Chinese League 1 last year and previously played for one of the top teams in South Korea.

Yep - Crocombe was born i NZ but moved to England at a very young age - came through the youth systems at MK dons and Oxford United, so not exactly the same as the type of player we're talking about.
