Michael Thomas?

[Jimmy Floyd]

Dean Saunders the other Welshman at the 'fica.

[Ian]

Feel like I should know those Dortmund ones. Did they have a British backup goalie or something at one point? Or am I making that up?

[Jimmy Floyd]

The other Juve one was Ronnie O'Brien. I remember him as a curiosity for that very reason, and not as a footballer.

The Irish Dortmund one sounds dodgy, only played in Germany? Was there an Achtung O'Reilly I have missed?

Irish man played 1 game for dortmund. He played over 150 games for FC Union Berlin between 2008-2014. There is a picture of him on his wiki page so he is a certified star. Born in Dortmund to a German father and Irish mother.

[Mellberg]

German father, which means he probably has a Kraut surname too. No idea.

Mental that there's someone from Juve. Must've been about 12 when Zidane was there.

When did Buffon move to Juve? I think it was the same summer Zidane left but could have been some crossover without the transfer window at the time.
