    John Hendrie weren't bad. Apparently we're as foreign to Scottish people as someone from Spain, so let's call it as it is.

    Special Mention to Jan age Fjortoft and Jan Molby one of the least mobile players we have ever had but oozed class and talent!

    When I was younger I thought Anton Outlakowski was exotic and foreign. Imagine my disappointment when I heard his dewsbury accent

    Darren Barnard would easily be in the top three for me. Also scorer of the greatest goal.

    To combine two threads...

    Molby very nearly did score from the halfway line. He didn't, but it was bloody close.

    If we're saying he's not English then he's my number one.

    But he's probably my number one best BFC player ever. And I was way behind the curve on realising how good he was. It was a lot of people on this BBs that made me look, and when I did, he took my breath away.

    Can't believe Mateo Corbo hasn't been mentioned yet. Or Tony Bedau. Or dangerous Brian.

    Hourihane. McPhail. Bogdanovic. A few others not mentioned yet.
