Was over the moon when we "signed' him even though I had never heard of him! The allure of those foreign names was something else back then!
It is remarkable have how times have changed in quarter of a century. Signing any 'foreign' player was seen as something of a coup back then, it was just assumed he'd be probably better than John Hendrie or whatever. We now live in an era where surnames like Traore seem as common as Smith in the upper English divisions.Was over the moon when we "signed' him even though I had never heard of him!

Euro 96 I thinkDidn't he later score a 90th minute winner in a World Cup (or Euros) Finals 1-0 win against Turkey?
