A canny 11. Most consistent Sorensen and Kubicki. As a footballer probably Schwarz or Gyan

Sorensen

Kubicki
Thome
Mensah
Arca

Malbranque
Reyna
Schwarz
Zenden

Sessegnon
Gyan
 
Johnny Crossan .. I know he was Irish, but he played for Sparta Rotterdam and for Standard Liege.
Am I correct in remembering that he went foreign as it were after some misdemeanor? We signed him from Standard Liege and he could definitely strike a football - I can remember a shot from him at Huddersfield (I think) that missed the target and hit a supporter on the head, the impact of which knocked said supporter out. (In the same game Jimmy Montgomery played the finest game he ever had with SAFC in my humble opinion).

I recall that there was some stain on his character but what it was eludes me.
He is still fondly remembered in Liege, where I work sometimes.
