[ImranR]

Cantona

[Geordie Ahmed]

GIANFRANCO ZOLA

im NOT only taking football ability into account! Zola was a legend, in the time he was in the Premiership i dont recal (correct me if im wrong) him ever having done a bad thing, Bergkamp has had an elbow,stamp or two, Cantona well i dont need to say anything!

so its ZOLA for me

[Jameel]

Cantona, Zola, Schmeichel in that order.

[HAFRIDI]

cantona!!

[Amjid Javed]

so no david ginola then geordie?

[Geordie Ahmed]

so no david ginola then geordie?

I would have in the Top 10 but he is no Zola, Cantona or Bergkamp! these guys performed over a longer period of time.

[Geordie Ahmed]

Say Ooo Ahh Cantona, Say Ooo Ahh Cantona!"

there used to be playground chant that used to go as following which was more apt for that thug:

"Say Ooo Ahh Cantona, Say Ooo Ahh Cantona"
"He walks like a woman and wears a Bra"

:))) :))) :))) :))) :)))

lol in Manchester or atleast Longsight everyone used to chant:

"ooh ahh Cantona, He wears big knickers and he wears a bra.."

:))) :))) -there's probably bare different versions....

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

i would say schmeichel personally as im a keeper myself!

[nadeem]

ginola

[flipper]

He may not necessarily have been the best but in terms of impact it has to be.... Cantona!!!

[Geordie Ahmed]

ginola

:D> :D> :D>

Tho i dont think he is the BEST foreign player BUT he was superb. He was lazy as owt BUT it was worth it when he had the ball at his feet

well i'm sure u dont...........never known a butterfly to have needed one.

but u still sting me like a Punjabi, i can still feel the last one from 3 weeks ago :P

[Abdul Qadir 236]

Roy Keane has inspired Man Utd to 7 titles - surely it hsa to be him.

[Kashif]

Cantona/Bergkamp from English and Brian Laudrup/Henrik Larsen from Scottish.

[Uzi]

Massimo Taibi


HA HA.

I was at the game at Old Trafford when Le Tissier hit a weak shot and the ball went through Taibi's legs. It was comical.

There have been many excellent foreign players over the years, but for me these guys stand out:

Cantona, Zola, Bergkamp

[Master-P]

Thierry Henry all the way. He has scored the most goals by any foreigner in a short amount of time also he is the second best player in the world i dont think there has been a foreigner who has been the best in the world im not sure about second. Also he has nearly broken ian wrights goal scoring record and ian wright has 2 be one of the best strikers of all time in the league.

[Faisal Akhtar]

Elhaj Diouf :D

[Abdul Qadir 236]

RVN is better than Henry.

Ole has been a cracking buy for 1.5m

how about Lucas Radebe?

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

radebae was a shrewd signing - GOOD CALL APPEAL TILL U SQUEAL

edit

[Master-P]

RVN is not no where near henrys level. The guys hasnt scored a goal out the penalty box in all his career so that just says it all!
