For football purposes, Harper is Scottish, regardless of passport.
For Argentina, you also have Tarrico..

Ooh. Had forgotten him. 'Good'* player.
*all things are relative.
However, subsequent research shows three international caps for GUADELOUPE, so you can't have him for this.
You can have him for THE LIST though

Romain VINCELOT though
A mate of mine referred to him phonetically in a very Aspinallesque manner as Vin-chent-a-lot. Probably our most GALLIC looking player.
Of course we all took the chronic out of him as if he'd come up with a weird Vincente/Vincelot chimera/medieval footballer of the round table.

Have we had Adrian Heft yet? 10 mins v Eastbourne Borough I think (could have been me if the then Mrs Pevenseagull hadn't said she'd leave me if I blew a grand on it........ wish I'd done it, she was ****ing horrible).

I was at that Orient v Brighton match too. A miserable, gloomy day, I was all over the place and could barely walk but remember thinking it was a low point in my Albion-supporting life. Cheering on a team where I recognised only two players, McGleish scoring from a penalty and then afterwards I got into a bit of trouble with some plastic Man U fans in a pub near Liverpool St station.
Apparently, I was in the way of the telly as they watched Fulham v Man U in a cup match. I reminded them that Fulham was in London and so were we and that if they were that interested in the match, they could have bought a ticket to see it live...just as I had done with my team earlier that day. I may not have used those exact words.
In fact - I vaguely remember chatting with [MENTION=1022]Wilko[/MENTION] at HT in the stands.

Was David Yelldell the one who ran out at Elland Road for the second half in a bright pink goalie shirt to which the match announcer said directly to him words to the effect of "I hope for your sake son you have a decent second half wearing that shirt" ?

I think you're right. The chap who used to play in goal for the REMF Brighton team wore that particular jersey, if I recall correctly.
As an aside, I wonder why so many of these one-game wonders mentioned in this thread have been goalies. You'd have thought it would be the one position where it's very unfair to judge based on just one game. On this basis, Kuipers was extremely lucky because his first game was an absolute stinker.
Yes.

Another GK - how about David Coles? Remember listening to a game away at Aldershot maybe and him letting in a howler on debut. Never heard of again.
Shout. Did Roooolllllaaannd actually play competitively for us?

Not that i recall.
also Mustapha Carayol and Maheta Molango not sure how many Carayol played think it was over 5 at least
Molango definitely played more than once.
More than likely, only ever remember him for his goal at Reading!

I remember him being a non playing sub in the 3rd round cup tie against Wrexham. (whatever year it was?) Apart from that? Don't think so. Guess that qualifies him as a one game wonder.
