Before the bit hitters arrived following the construction of the riverside, was Jamie Moreno of Bolivia the first South American to play for Boro?

Manchester United have had 17 players from South America. I was trying to calculate how many we have had?

We must be on around 17.

Off the top of my head:

1. Moreno
2. Branco
3. Juninho
4. Emerson
5. Emerson’s cousin
6. Doriva
7. De Pena
8. Stuani
9. Alves

Who am I missing and what was the name of Emerson’s counsin?
 
Ricardinho signed for us on a short term deal but didn’t play a game if I remember correctly
 
Bernhardt and Lombardi both on the books but neither made a first team appearance.

Doesn't really count for this but JFH was born in South America.
