Patrick Suffo,(Cameroon) now playing at Coventry United IIRC. Bigirimana(Burundi) Who could forget Bigi?
Not forgetting the forgetful Jean Guy Walleme and Fabian Debec both from France
I remember being desperately excited when we signed Walleme. He came with a pedigree, and I convinced myself he was going to move us to the next level...
Ah, the innocence of youth!

Regis Geneaux - Belgium. I had his name on the back of my shirt haha. Think he sadly died a quite young, i recall?
Wilff Smith, real name Schmit and Proswitz from last yearI'm sure Dave Phillips is German with Welsh parents.
Correction to my own post - Because of an apartheid regime.Steve Mokone (Kalamazoo) South Africa. Way before my time but have heard the name mentioned many times over the years by older rels. Not sure if he would have been selected for the national team tho because of his colour.
Going back to the OP, I thought Carlita was from Angola?
Gunnar - Iceland
I read through, but I can't remember if anyone mentioned the Moroccan's?
Definitely Portugese. One of three Icelandics. Incidentally it's impressive how good they are at sport at international level considering our City has a population greater than their entire country.
Who remembers Walter Zevallos? Was supposed to come over with Zuniga, I believe we paid £1.5m for the duo, Richardson claimed he would have no problems receiving a work permit, but it turned out he didn't even qualify for one in the first place. Definitely something dodgy was going on there but I guess we'll never find out, most corrupt man in football he was.
Long time reader, first time poster, a good topic that prompted me to sign up as I can't believe nobody has mentioned Ghanaian Champman legend Nii Lamptey!
Nuddy on the left, Lamptey on the right....shame it didnt last

Zevallos doesn't even have a Wikipedia page and if you search his name it's almost as if he didn't exist, very very little on him. It wouldn't surprise me if Richardson was getting paid a nice sum by agents to take crap players on and give them a chance in England, knowing full well they weren't good enough.
