I think it was the year we came up and played Blackburn and thinking how good he was. I think someone on here even mentioned how great it would be to sign him and was instantly ridiculed for living in ‘dreamland’. We’ve come a long way.

So good they named him twice

I’m increasingly loving this!

Is he that good? EMC is better right?

Where are you drawing them from?!?

Some forgotten big names there…Ruben Sosa, Enzo Francescoli etc. Uruguay have produced some amazing players over the years for what is a comparatively tiny country.* *I always mention them when my Welsh friends start claiming the same.

I remember seeing Perdomo play at HR. He seemed decent but a bit unfit. He was subbed off near where we sat. To 10 or 11 year old me he looked massive. I can’t think who the other might’ve been.

Ah yeah…they’re the ones! I knew we’d signed a couple from the same south/Central American country.

Yeah, with a Germanic name.

Ah no!

He was enjoyingly shite…and not just for missing those 2 chances from about a yard out.

I’d love us to start signing South Americans again!

That’s the bloke. Thanks. I can see he played a few times for us.

Wasn’t there another Peruvian lad alongside Zuniga? Martinez or something? Did he get a game/exist?

Sorry, I wasn’t very clear. Just that some people would drag it up as evidence he was slow. I entirely agree with you.

Now, this is a story I’ve told before on here but apparently he took a job in the Vale of Glamorgan and played in a lunchtime 5a side football match regularly. Only stopping a matter of months before I was invited to play. Mutha fuckers!

He still is a postman! I chatted with him after the Pompey game. Said he would be up at 4am to get down the post office for his shift.

He only really existed in champ man 01/02

Yeah, that’s him…like a battering ram. I kept half an eye on his career; I think he played on for quite a while. We played a few seasons together tbf.

Or at least “open wide”…
