Old Codger 3,039 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 bosko was 1979 and Heine Otto 1981,,,,but would you count Eire as foreign? sure there'd be a few from there before that Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Just saying regarding the Britt shirt name on the retail site thing, seems like I was right. Yesterday there was an 11 character limit on the website for player names. Now it's 14 and Britt's name is available. Coincidence? I think not! Also, maybe we're signing a player whose name is up to 14 characters long... 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Our first ever non-British player was South African Norman Malan in 1945 Link to post Share on other sites

Nowadays it’s all second nature and transfers are just transfers nothing really special like they used to be imo Link to post Share on other sites
