No it wasn't.

It was some Polish kid called Garie something or other I think.

It was three Italians we had a strange link up with Inter they took our best player and sent us rubbish. Can’t remember any Polish players around that time but we may have had one as he seemed to have players moving in and out all of the time.

He was signed for the U23s really but Bouwe Bosma was a weird one.

To the point where even he didn't seem to understand why we were interested.

I remember three players coming over, and I swear one was a pole.

It wasn't Gioacchini though, because he came from Venezia, not Inter.

I think his only touch in a city shirt was his missed penalty.

Rafa Gonzalez-Robles was an odd one. Seemed to be there warming up every match but he didn't make the bench despite there being only one other keeper in the squad.

If Maradona played for us in a testimonial there would be a photo of it.

Rangers must be the club that we have the highest dud to quality signing ratio from. Has there been a successful signing from them?

I suspect this is someone’s fever dream (or they’ve seen a picture of Oggy playing at Wembley for the football league and Maradona playing for the World XI and jumped to the wrong conclusion.

If he had ever been involved in game with the remotest of connections to us - people my age would have talked about it for years.

Jairo Martinez, he was Honduran.

He scored a couple in the Championship (or whatever it was called then) the season following relegation.

How many time did Reggie Genaux play? I know he complained about being kept out the team by Telfer and the Scottish mafia.

I think his name was Walter Zeballos. But he never ultimately signed. You are thinking of Jairo Martinez and Ivan Guererro, who came from Honduras.

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

Have we had Calita? I was convinced he was going to be amazing just because he changed his name from Carlos Batista to sound like a Brazilian.

I remember we signed 2 under Sillet around 1990, after the Woirld Cup Italia 90, probably on loan. One was Uraguarian Centre Midfielder International Jose Perdermo, just checked him out, played about 6 app for Cov, always injured if I remember. Can´t remember the 2nd players name.
