Why would they move abroad to a poorer league? And get paid less?

Steve Mcmanaman was a hit. He even scored in the CL final!

I also once saw the Real Madrid lineup for the 1980 european cup final. There was a player called Cunningham. I presume he was British too?

What's in black and white must be true.

But I can't recall the bleeding player, he was black, I think he played for Chelsea, and he ended up getting a record amount of compensation for the time. Fuck, it's the Alzheimers.

When I say he was black, well, not very black.

Waddle is idolised by the Marseille fans. I saw a documentary about Marseille and it seems they were crazy for his skills. He is definately a contender for an all time Marseille 11.

Didn't Waddle miss out on European player of the year by 1 vote or something?

More British players need to play abroad. It will only help the talent in this country. Owen Hargreaves is an example of how tactically astute the germans make their players.

BTW here is the top 10 of 1958

1. Raymond Kopa France Real Madrid 71
2. Helmut Rahn West Germany Rot-Weiss Essen 40
3. Just Fontaine France Stade de Reims 23
4. Kurt Hamrin Sweden Fiorentina 15
John Charles Wales Juventus 15
6. Billy Wright England Wolverhampton 9
7. Johnny Haynes England Fulham 7
8. Nils Liedholm Sweden Milan AC 6
Horst Szymaniak West Germany Wuppertaler SV 6
Harry Gregg Northern Ireland Manchester United 6

Who was Johnny Haynes? Charles is in good company with Kopa, Fontaine, Hamrin and Liedholm!
