I found this guy through wiki and I still don't know who he is.

I knew that was Harpal Singh! My dad is a Leeds fan so I went to a lot of games growing up and I remember his short lived and terrible spell in the Eircom League.

Didn't have a clue so wiki'd it. Recognise the name now, but only knew him through Burnley.

[EddieG]

This is a guy with 3 caps!

[stokeriño]

In which case I shall put you out of your misery and say Brian Stock.

[Gazz]

This is a guy with 3 caps!

Wales doesn't count.

[Cymbols]

Oh shit, never knew he played for us.

[stokeriño]

Gonna try and drag this back to a healthy level of semi-obscurity. Surely this one's been at enough English clubs for it not to require Google.

^ I thought that Rafa would get that if he were online. I didn't consider that Rafa would use the silly Brazilian football name rather than the real surname I saw said player use most of the time.

Gah, I vaguely remember him from Bolton. Was also thinking Mario Jardel though.

[Colly]

Thanks Stoker, I saw Rafa's answer and couldn't for the life of me work out how I could have missed someone who'd been around that long.

[The Lusophone]

Rafa's guy is an Emerson of some kind as well.

[Rafael]

Well, you got that right. Since he didn't use any surname I'll take that as an answer. Met the guy at a bar, once. He said Ronaldinho was gay.

[Colly]

His name was Emerson Doesthesamba.

[Rafael]

Sambadoesthe Emerson. Get your facts straight, Colly!

[The Lusophone]

Right you mugs my turn.

Jimmy Hill?

[Thrilla]

nvm.

[The Lusophone]

Nope. Hint: He became a successful manager when his career finished.
