Charles MBabazi Livingstone gets my vote, but then I'm biased. BTW how come no one could ever pronounce his name properly. It wasn't that difficult. Its Babaz FFS. Not Embabsey - Jesus wept.
From other teams Kevin Hunt was and is top quality. Joey NDo is talented alright, but he hasn't been here long enough or done enough to rate.
Duh ? we, as a people, spent 800 years trying to prove that English,Scottish and Welsh people are FOREIGN!Originally Posted by Raheny Red
I reckon we keep this thread to Non-Irish/Welsh/Scottish/English players they are hardly foreign are they
I'd plump for Mark Rutherford because he has been here 15 years and been consistently good. He is also eligible to play for Jamaica despite being born in Birmingham!

In most African languages the first letter is pronounced as in EMbab or ENDoh.Charles MBabazi Livingstone gets my vote, but then I'm biased
If what you say is correct then his Ugandan language( not sure of the ethnicity of the chap, and it didn't matter either he was a class act) is an exception to that rule.
So ndrog what you are saying is Kevin Hunt has acclimatised fully to Cabra
Tony Izzi, who was with Limerick, Shelbourne, and Cobh, I think.
Ok so he wasnt the greatest foreigner ever to play here, but any Italian footballer is glamorous, and he did score 4 goals in one game, which ties the league record I think.
Alex Nesovic was quality!!!
Has he even scored a goal for Da Town yet?
How about Galway United's Ciaran Foley...he's from the Aran Islands!!!
Seriously, Owen De Gamma (Derry City in the 1980's) was special and for a while, Pascal Vadequin was brilliant. Then he went to Harps
.

Nobody knows us, we don't care
Mc Court is one of the better foreign players in our league...still though as mentioned by another poster above i would rate Scottish Gerry Mc Cabe above anyone i have seen in my time supporting the league..Oh and Liam Coyle was another to add to that list...
I'm just shocked that no-one's mentioned Roy Keane...

Socrates! (Not technically the EIRCOM League I know...)
I obviously don't have your extensive knowledge of most African languages, but it is correct. It came from the club, via Charlie himself presumably, so I think you can rest assured on that score. It was also clarified in a number of newspaper articles as far as I recall, so there was really no excuse for the media, apart from their age old problem with the league here, laziness.
When he was quizzed about that legend he told the interviewer the following that he's never even been to Ireland never mind play here!

No specialist knowledge just what I have come across in my 40 odd years on this planet. My Uncle was a missionary in both Nigeria (West Africa) and Zambia ( Southern Africa). Ndjamena the capital of Chad is pronounced EN-Jah-May-na. Former Zimbabwean politician Ndabiningi Sithole was pronounced EN-Dahbi-Ning-ee and so on.
It's more the fact that Ndo can pass a ball that puts him at odds with Pat Fenlons tactical supersystem. Who needs that kind of technique and other nonsense when Richie Baker is a bit of a livewire in the air from the crossfield passes from left back?
Brendan Bradley scored 6 in one game for Harps against Sligo Rovers once.Ok so he wasnt the greatest foreigner ever to play here, but any Italian footballer is glamorous, and he did score 4 goals in one game, which ties the league record I think.
Really? Then that also puts paid to the myth that he won a Sigerson Cup medal. I'm going to investigate this...
I think having people mispronounce his first name was the least of his worries.
SIGNATURESCOPE
Yeah, that was great wasn’t it.
In the first five minutes one of the Drogheda players (Fahey?) put in a totally dirty tackle on Hunt – a real knee-high “reducer.” The game had to be stopped so he could get treatment and you could see that he was in pain. I thought at the time “They’re putting it up to you Hunty. They think you’re finished”.
Then five minutes later CRUNCH and a Drogs player goes off in a body bag – and I thought “there’s life in the old dog yet”. Funny thing was, who ever got the pay-back wasn’t the player who fouled him in the first place – but that’s football.
I know he isn’t the player he used to be any more but, at least for this millennium, you can’t look beyond Hunt as the best foreign player in the league. There was a spell of a couple of years where he was not only the best midfielder in the league but the best player in the league full stop. I know I’m biased like everybody. Ndo and Livingston-seagull are talented players no doubt but what have they done in the Irish game, sod-all.
Cogito ergo Bohs
