Sean Dundee?

[Ian]

Ah, that'll be him. I was trying to think of German strikers Liverpool had had and couldn't get past Riedle but I knew it wasn't him.

[niko_cee]

I remember him playing for Stuttgart Kickers (I think) but thought that's where he was signed from so it might not be. Also thought of Erik Meijer but he was Dutch so would presumably have played some of his career in Holland.

[John Arne]

Sean Dundee?

Correcto. German-South African legendary striker.

[Ian]

From looking up Sean Dundee...

Liverpool's a nightmare because they've been Carlsberg forever. I had to start thinking about when they switched kit suppliers.

[John Arne]

I'll be honest, never heard of this dude before reading about him today.

I've even included his place of birth for help.

[mo]

Ronnie O'Brien. I remember reading about him at the time he moved to Juve. Pretty unusual at the time.

Indeed. Released by Boro and immediately given a 5 year deal at Juventus :/

Looks like Sir Brendan generated by AI.

James Troisi to Juventus is the one that stuns me.
