Liverpools greatest overseas player

Had a discussion in work today about Jan Molby. What a fantastic player he was for the club and as scouse as the Mersey now. Got me thinking who would be regarded as our best non uk/Irish player ever?

Some serious players in the early years from South Africa. More modern players Like Sami and Didi and of couse Brucie and Craig Johnson from the super 80s teams.

Can we organise a poll on this? Id love to see who people regard as our best foreigner

Gotta be Craig Johnson his contribution was massive in his day and I wish to christ he was here this season.

My top three would be (in no order) Brucie, Big Jan and Sami

Bjorn Tore Kvarme.

Got to be big Jan Molby.

Hasn't it?

John Barnes, born in Jamaica........... 

I know he chose to play for england, but still was born overseas

OK,OK Jan Molby,John Barrnes and Craig Johnson as well.

Nah Im not having Barnsey. Played for England hes Englsh 

Big Jan or Sami for me I think

I know he's only been here 3 years, but Torres for me.

  Istvan Kozma

Torres.

Surprised nobody's said Xabi Alonso.

Or Robbie Keane.

There has been enough crying about them two.  

Molby every day of the week.

Barnes, Molby, Johnson, reason their contributions brought us much silverware.

Barnes

I don't reckon he counts.

Smart arse.

My top three 1. Big Jan. 2. Big Sami. 3 Didi Hamman

can't believe only one person's said nando. i know he hasn't won anything but his class and dedication is a joy to behold

As a very light hearted view I remember back in the days back in the 60s and 70s when players from Scotland were regarded as foreign players... so I would put King Kenny and Ian St John up there with the very best !!
On a serious note it  would have to be the brilliant Jan Molby for me.

Smart arse.

Oooohhhhhh

Ha Ha In fairness I was only replying with Barnes as his inclusion was being discussed UP THERE ^^ as he was born in Jamaica, but easily solved replace Barnes with Brucie for the same reason, they were winners of much silver ware.

Sami for me, followed closely by Molby and Didi

 My Dad used to tell me about a right winger who played for us,he was South African and he scored 74 goals in 239 games for us.He retired in 1947 so as you can see he lost out due to the second world war.he was selected to play for Great Britain twice so that should give you an indication of how good he was.His name was Berry Nieuwenhuys and the crowd called him Nivvy for short.
                                                                                         Molby on his day was brilliant,he could split a defence wide open with the accuracy of his passes and Sami showed us what skill and loyalty was all about.I would pick Sami because  he showed how good he was over 10 years but when I look at how good Nivvy was how could i not agree with my old mate my Dad.

Glad you mentioned him Billy. I think I mentioned we had some quality south Africans way back who were top players at the time
