In the eighties Derry had Owen deGamma who was South African and a guy called Nelson DeSilva who was Brazilian, He came to Derry on loan from Standard Leige in Belguim. He was since killed in a car Crash I think. during the late eighties and we had an Egyptian playing center midfield for us called Heysham El Kershi. The spelling might be a bit out but the man was a town LEGEND.
Don't forget Rovers new signing, current Morroccan international Samir Boughanem.

Cork Celtic signed an Austrian guy back in the 50s, the name eludes me now. They had an American, Bobby Stahl, in the mid70s and, of course, German legend Uwe Seeler also...
Cork Hibs had a Spaniard called Benito Guttierez (?spl) who played briefly in the 60s...
