We used to sign plenty of foreign players, in my time of watching since 85 many have come and gone (mainly from 90's onwards). I looked through a list of our players today and many I had forgotten. I hope someone was getting some sneaky cash out of these deals otherwise they make little sense.
Of course some worked out, the ones I thought were decent were Boateng, Chippo, Safri, Hadji (sometimes), Soltvedt, Stern John, Ndlovu, Nilsson, Hedman. I even recall a nice cameo of good appearances from Lilian Nalis.
The following players were awful or forgettable, some were bought, some were free, the odd one or two were loans, but all used up valuable cash on wages, kit, deep heat etc. Some didn't even get a game.
Arphexad, Beuzelin, Bischoff, Che Bunce, Calita, Carbonari, Dahl, de Zeeuw, Delorge, Deloumeax, Edjenguele (a bit harsh?), Ekelund, Engonga, Evtushok, Fadiga, Fulop, Genaux, Gioacchini, Gudjonsson, Guerrero, Hreidarsson, Hyldgaard, El Idrissi, Gonzalez, Isaias, Johansen, Cobi Jones, Konstantopoulos, Kruszynski, Lamptey, Laville, Malaga, Manset, Mansouri, Martinez, Negouai, Nimely, Normann, Nuzzo, Olszar, Perdomo, Sara, Sofiane, Walleme, Zuniga.
