Title: Foreign players...
Post by: juddie on Friday, February 15, 2008, 10:41:21
Loasds of people always bang on about the number of foreign players in England since the premiership, but who would you say were the best before the prem era - regardless of the level of football? Doesn't have to be just Swindon, although Ossie Ardiles and Dave Mitchell would have to be in there!

In the early 1980s two dutch players were signed by Bobby Robson when he was manager at Ipswich, great players and probably the start of the foreign influx to our leagues.

Arnold Muhren and Frans Thijssen

Sergie Rebrov - Spurs
Carlton Palmer - Sheff Weds
Claudio Marangoni - Sunderland
Ramon Vega - Spurs
Alberto Tarantini - Brum
Marco Boogers - West Ham
Andrea Silenzi - Nottm Forest

Taibi, rebrov, vega, boogers, silenzi (?), brolin and dia all played in the premiership.

Is that rovers that mirandinha played for? Or grimsby?

Living in East Anglia at that time Dell.  Great players, but Ipswich had a really good footballing side in those days.
