Strange clubs signings have came from

[leithsansiro]

With Hibs having signed Claros from Honduran club Motagua and Rangers kind of signing Cousin from Gabonese giants Sapins, can anybody else think of interesting and random clubs that signings have appeared from in the SPL?

Zemamma - Raja Casablanca
Benji - Maghreb Fez
De La Cruz - LDU Quito

I think he came from Man U. He was just on loan at Hearts.

Ollie Gottskaklsson - Keflavick.

Also it's 'have come from' not 'have came from'

[leithsansiro]

Aye, I noticed that after I'd posted it. Damn grammar ain't what it used to be ;)

[Exiled Hibby]

I believe that over the years we have signed a number of players from the club formerly known as Glasgow Rangers :greengrin

As did Issak Refvik and Sven Mattieson

Isaak came from Viking Stavanger and Sven from I K Start, both Norwegian Clubs :wink:

Eduardo Hurtado - Argentinos Juniors

Even more bizarrely, didn't he leave for FC Barcelona?? (of Ecuador...:greengrin)

[Speedway]

:wink: Sorry LSS, real bug bear of mine.

[Golden Bear]

Ivan Sproule - Institute (never heard of them up until then)

[BurghHibby]

I stand corrected, never checked it out but went from memory as was sure it was Keflavik - old age must be creeping in!

[leithsansiro]

:wink: Sorry LSS, real bug bear of mine.

Ironically, one of mine too!

steve archibald - barcelona

george best - fort lauderdale strikers

gordon rae - bonnyrigg rose

[Skanko79]

I'm sure Stoke City's Kenwyne Jones went to england (Southampton maybe) from a team called Joe Public.

Erm - it's "Gottskalksson", not "Gottskaklsson", and "Keflavik", not "Keflavick". :wink:

BTW - I'm still trying to work out exactly why clubs from Iceland, Norway, Morocco, Ecuador and Honduras should be considered "strange" - because the people who run them/support them have funny accents? Skin a different colour? Speak a different language?

Just thinking, don't y'know? :cb

Cherif Toure-Maman - Al Nasr (Dubai)

Mikko Paatelainen - FC KooTeePee (Finland)

Efrain Juarez - Pumas UNAM (Mexico)

* I don't follow Dutch Football, so they might not be that obscure, but their name always made me giggle for some unknown, probably infantile reason.

In response to Doddie above, I don't necessarily think of them as "strange", but more surprising some of the leagues/teams that scouts go to lengths to look at, uncovering some real gems.
