With the imminent signing of Ambrose has got me thinking we haven't had that many African players have we? A lot of our African sounding players have been mostly French with African heritage. Who can you name?

Does Alen Orman count? Remember him touting himself for a Nigeria cap at one point.

They most certainly were, but I'm reading about the African slavery history to T+T, and if you believe in evolution everyone of us came from Africa. Sorry slow day for me,

Bamba, El Alagui and Malonga are not really 'African' if the definition is that they were born there.

Hibs signed Jim Herriot from South Africa ... but he was born in North Lanarkshire. The only weak link in Turnbull's Tornadoes.

I remember telling my pals that Hakim Sar was going to be a fantastic signing. I went on about how big a coup it was for Hibs to be getting such talented youngsters.

The teenage me regrets it now, in hindsight.
