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

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

Here is a little list of some totally crap foriegn imports in the top division, not sure how many have been in the Premiership...possibly Taibi I think but otherwise I think they were pretty much all pre premier days and all were in the name of the last player on the list "DIRE"!
Massimo Taibi - Man Ure
Sergie Rebrov - Spurs
Carlton Palmer - Sheff Weds
Claudio Marangoni - Sunderland
Ramon Vega - Spurs
Alberto Tarantini - Brum
Marco Boogers - West Ham
Andrea Silenzi - Nottm Forest
Tomas Brolin - Leeds
Ally Dia - Southampton
