Macari did want to sign him, but Wegerle had better offers.

My recall is similar to Kaufman's...

Yes. He was born in Bradford on Avon and they're all on a different planet over there.

But he was a Jamaican international...

Don't think being an international alone should qualify anyone as being foreign.
My son could qualify to play for Serbia but has never been anywhere near the Balkans.

Surely Talia would have been worse, Griemink did actually have a few good games where as Talia had a few good minutes.

Come on...people forget Talia was player of the season one year and did bloody well in an atrocious side. He was judged after years of having a club legend in goal. Griemink was never, ever, a good goalkeeper. He made Phil Smith look as fierce as Schmiechel (the real one).

I heard that we couldnt afford the £75k to buy him at the time.

Talia was a far better keeper than Griemink.

Fitz declared, and subsequently played in a WC for the Jamcan's. He's a Johnny.

(one of the best, but not the best)

Fjortoft for me as best.

Fjortoft was probably the best but Lorenzo was my favourite of the imports just for being a current world cup winner and for being an animal on the pitch!

Cuervo and Wegerle (only 7 games) were good.

As for the worst, the skys the limit, good job there is a 20 game minimum or the list would be as long as your arm, Sabin, Darras (for his 1st season at least), Pericard, Casal (only 6 games), Onionbhaji (only 17 games) and Shakes if they count as technically both were British.

The one thing you cant accuse Dossevi of not doing is running, that's all he had going for him.

He tried bless him, i find it hard to hate anyone like him who is dogshit but puts 100% in all the time
agreed and the same applies to Sabin.

Pericard was just lazy and shit.
