Brentford, AtléticoMadrid The perfect rightness of the actual Location: On the shoulder of the last defender
posted 25-06-2008 13:23

 		 
Inspired by the manager's thread, I wondered if OTF could draw up a comprehensive list of English (perhaps British and Irish too?) players who have played abroad since, say, 1990. There doesn't seem to be anything like the steady flow we see in reverse of European counterparts to these shores or other European countries.

Obvious ones to start with:

Paul Ince - Internazionale: 1995-1997
Paul Gascoigne - Lazio: 1992-1995
David Platt - Bari, Juve, Samp: 1991-1995
Vinny Samways - Las Palmas: 1996 - ??

Two more from Souness's chamber of horrors. Marsh lasted about three weeks out there.
