Best Foreign Player to Play for a British Team

[bingo83]

Just read THIS (http://www.squarefootball.net/article/article.asp?aid=2613) article.

I was surprised to see how high Henrik Larsson placed considering most pundits think the Scottish League is a backwater.

Who do you think should have been No1?

[gambeler]

i cant belive Peter Schmeichel is only 7th hes number 1 in my book the best keeper the grace the premiership (and yes hes easily better than seaman) so good utd have only now found a suitable replacement for him

[WACCOE]

Eric Cantona should clearly have been Number 1. He was just, well, quality.

Sami Hyypia 8th? Whoever wrote that article should have words with themselves.

[phatmuther]

Peter Schmeichel no.1 no questions, just the way it is.

[JJBDude]

Being 15 I am unable to comment on how good the likes of Cantona and Schmeichel were. So I can only say that Bergkamp has been quality for Arsenal, and that Ryan Giggs should have made the top 10. :(

[AfroJoe]

Giggs isn't foreign. :D

I'd say Larsson for the Scottish game, anyway. Down south there are a lot of people to choose from.

without looking at that list im gonna say Thierry Henry, hes the dogs, and thats comin from a man united fan

[AK.]

im quite suprised at that to be honest top three i wouldve said...

1.Henry
2.Cantona
3.Schmeichel

[HotFish]

Thierry Henry in my opinion has been the best for the Prem league, though Cantona is very very close behind.

You have to take into account what Henry does of the pitch aswell. Chartity events, Kick Racisim out of Football, the lot.

Sami Hyypia don't make me laugh I would have put in Fabrizio Ravanelli (scored consistently well) in front of him even though he was a money grabbing swine!

[backin-strachan]

1.Zola
2. Schemicael
3. Larsson

:D

[WACCOE]

What about David Ginola? I would have thoght he would be in before Sami Hyypia. :)

[RiLu@]

what about giggs?

[WACCOE]

Giggs is not foreign. ;)

[AfroJoe]

I'm getting deja vu here. :D

[backin-strachan]

Roy Keane perhaps in his prime. He is Irish which isnt really British????

[AK.]

Giggs is not foreign. ;)


technically Giggs could be foreign if ya think bout it i guess, wales is a different country from england where the premierships is held, meh just a theory

"Best Foreign Player to Play for a British Team"

See, if it was an English team, then maybe you'd have a case. As this is a question about British teams, then Ryan Giggs doesn't really apply as he's British.

[Raisedbyflames]

if they counted irish itwould beanall irish top ten

[AfroJoe]

It would?

Other than Roy Keane, who that has played for Ireland has been better than Schmeichel, Cantona, Henry, Zola, Larsson, Bergkamp?

[Killer 57]

It would?

Other than Roy Keane, who that has played for Ireland has been better than Schmeichel, Cantona, Henry, Zola, Larsson, Bergkamp?

Kaka, he has skill. Kaka.

[WACCOE]

But he hasn't played for a Britsih team, Killer. ;)

[backin-strachan]

IF Cristiano Ronaldo stays at Man Utd for the rest of is career he could be in with a shout

[dazzie1986]

As long as he sorts out the quality of his final ball that is ;)

[gambeler]

he will do hes still learning

[RiLu@]

...and control his temper!
