Italians and South Americans at the crescent? We've never had any real foreigners at the club have we. Trying to rack my brain and the best is Andy Mac who I think was born in South Africa. If Luther gets some lads over for trial lets hope they're better than John Birds dip in the Europeon market. If I remember rightly didn't he bring back some waiter from Spain after his hols once.

Albert Johanneson was African I think. Had Hasselbaink's brother on trial couple of seasons ago. Best I can do.

Surely Settori was from another planet wasn't he? And I thought Wally was Trinadadian wasn't he?

Kroy this is an Aussie joke just for you, especially bearing in mind your current helmet problem
An Aussie had been wandering around the outback for years when he finally came to a farmhouse.
A pretty girl met him at the gate.
"D'yer root?" he asked.
"Nah," she replied. "But ya talked me into it ya silver-tongued bastard!"
Hey and I'd trade most anything to get out of this place and enjoy early morning start to the WC and a season ticket to BC!

Keith Walwyn is from St Kitts or Nevis - sorry, I forget which.
Albert Johanneson was South African and, like cricketer Basil D'Olivera, came to Britain because a professional sports career wasn't possible for black people under Apartheid.
I think Johanneson was the first black player to appear in a Wembley cup final.

I feared the worst for a moment Dee when you mentioned a Kiwi (lovely place & people) but you came good in the end!!
Walwyn runs a sports shop somewhere around Preston & Blackpool.
I believe that this could be his website which I came across a few weeks ago whilst aimlessly surfing - either that or it is one hell of a coincidence!!

No doubt I'll be branded a killjoy, but I don't think rape is a laughing matter.

I do agree that rape is not a laughing matter Frank, you may notice there is an apology attached.
However, I am not really sure that the joke is actually about rape as she implies a willingness to assist?
The problem is as soon as you start Australian jokes you find that they are riddled with racism and mysogeny. I did try and pick the least offensive ones I could find...a hard task indeed.
If I have caused offence sorry, I am quite happy to delete the posting should anyone request that I do.
