Thierry Bonalair

[That Night In Barcelona]

A skillful player, nice turn of pace. Played for Nottingham Forest and now a scout for Lille.

Which players do you remember?

[Vicarious Thrillseeker]

That is an interesting question. I remember lots of players. Bob Delgado. I remember him.

[Wouter D]

I distinctly remember Nordin Wooter. And Tarik Oulida also made an impression, somehow.

[Foot of Astaire's]

Robbie van de Laan (sp?) at Port Vale was pretty exotic at a time of few foreign players in the FL. He always looked like an industrious chap but I've no idea if he was any good.

Paul Pogba

Conversely, Neil Emblen.

Whatever happened to Kiki Musampa?

[Bored Of Education]

Winston Faerber at Cardiff. A Dutch footballer at Cardiff. Who knew the Dutch could be average as well.

[Antepli Ejderha]

Tarek Al Taib a Libyan who played for Gaziantepspor and was one of the most talented players I've seen play.

Whatever happened to Kiki Musampa?

I had him typed out before I remembered Paul Pogba. Kiki Musampa and Tijani Babangida. I saw them play for Ajax against Manchester United in a preseason tournament in 1996. I think Musampa ended up at Manchester City, didn't he? Poor bastard.

[imp]

Sven Christ at Grasshopper Zürich. I remember him because he wore the number 3 shirt and above that was printed the word CHRIST.

[Gangster Octopus]

Bob Delgado. I remember him.

Played for us in the seventies. Didn't realise that he was black until he came back with Carlisle(?) and got chanted at by the knuckle-dragging element of the Tivoli. I was delighted when he scored the winning goal in front of the fuckers...

[scratchmonkey]

For a brief period, arguably the most talented player for San Jose was Dario Brose.

(He's from Brooklyn.)

[Satchmo Distel]

Arjan de Zeeuw. Barnsley's best player in their sole top flight season and thus arguably the best they've ever had.

[Stumpy Pepys]

When I was small, Bolton bought a Polish winger called Tadeusz Nowak, which was dead exotic of the time. Shame he wasn't much cop.

[Gangster Octopus]

For many years the only player who gained a full international cap whilst playing for Rotherham was Ray Mielczarek, who got a Welsh cap in 1971...

[That Night In Barcelona]

A good time to remember Taribo West, who became a pastor after retiring.

[fatbear]

Another Dutchman at Port Vale at the same time as Robin van der Laan was Nico Jalink. He was very good when he returned to the Netherlands and played for Sparta Rotterdam

[Felicity, I guess so]

When I was a student at Wolverhampton poly I went to an away game at Villa with a Blues fan. I only had eyes for the ageing Archie Gemmill but the mental Birmingham fans sang ‘Tony, Tony Van Mierlo, Tony Van Mierlo, Tony Van Mierlalalalala’ all through the game.

I remember little of his performance so I suspect we’re talking another mediocre Dutchman. With a perm.

Branko Strupar

[Satchmo Distel]

Ronnie Glavin was the Barnsley hero of my youth.
