I know it's going back a bit but isn't John Charles in the Juventus hall of fame or something? Also Joe Jordan, Graeme Souness, Ray Wilkins and Mark Hately all played in Italy.

How about Rob Ullathorne and Jamie Pollock's adventure at Osasuna in the 1990's.

A huge amount of British players have been playing for Finnish clubs. Just a couple to mention:
John Allen, ex-Chester and Mansfield. Several clubs in Finland and two in Sweden. Now a caretaker-manager at TPS Turku in the Finnish League.
Keith Armstrong, ex-Sunderland and Newport. One of the most successful head-coaches in the Finnish football. Now works as an assistant for the Finnish international team.

Juventus supporters voted Charles their greatest ever foreign player (ie, better than Platini).

In a trade where the fantasy tale goes, they wanted M Hughes from Manchester.

Paul Murray wasn't much of a success at Beira Mar, but Stephen McPhee was. Both were signed by Mick Wadsworth in 2004 who was sacked after about 4 or 5 games in charge.

They might have been mentioned already but Gary Smith left Abderdeen for Rennes. Ian Anderson of Dundee fame played for Toulouse.

In 1990, as Leeds United played their first matches back in the First Division, Carl Shutt went on loan to Malmo to gain fitness. I don't know how he did.
Sigh. Saturday night, eh?
