Oakleyson Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 Because of work I moved to Amsterdam a few months back and have been trying to educate the Dutch on the meaning of supporting City. They are all Ajax, PSV or Feynoord, so don't understand why I do not support Arsenal, Chelsea, Utd etc Which led to a conversation about the fact that City had a Dutch winger a few years ago .... But I can't remember his name. Was it "Gerd" something? If you know please post a reply. Then reading the post about ex-City player I sat thinking of ex-Players from abroad. To name a few I can remember: Perti Jantunen (?) - Another winger -Finnish Jan Moller - Keeper (was supposed to be brilliant, but didn't quite live up to it)- Danish Sebok - Defender (Looked good at time, did we ever get any money for selling him?)- Hungarian Jacki - Of course ..... Got anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martyn Hocking Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 The man you are looking for is .....Geert Meijer - I think he was coach at Feyenoord in recent times too "Geerty from Amsterdam" as he was instantly hailed by the East End, scored a goal on his debut from the tightest angle you have ever seen - running flat out towards the corner flag where the Williams met the Park End (now Atyeo) he must have been about 20 yards from goal and one yard from the goaline when he hit it but it somehow squeezed under the keeper and into the net. Awesome! Well_Red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nogbad the Bad Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 Nice to see you remember that well-red, 'twas i that made that song up, honestly!! "When it's Spring again, we'll sing again Geerty from Amsterdam! When he's on the wing, you'll hear us sing, Geerty from Amsterdam!" Those were the days, caught on alot better than my Roger Kenyon one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BCFC_Bradley_Stoke Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 We were talking about foreign players the other day in work and one that sprang to mind was Ivan Testimitanu - He was quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pewsham Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 Who was that arse that we bought from Everton once - a Dutch full back that scored a screamer of an own goal on his debut? This man was almost in the same class as the incomparable Gus Caesar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mr White Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 We had a Liberian called Jehad Muntasser once, not sure if he ever played a game but i think he ended up at Perugia. CTID Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bh_red Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 muntasser, remember i remember him, he came from arsenal, with loads of hype, did well in the reserves, (reminds me of gillespie!) but never even got close to the first team, last thing i heard he keft us, then was instantly banging in the goals in Serie A for perguia, good enough for serie a, but not good enough for City! hmmm!!!! some thing wrong there.

Oakleyson Posted June 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 My thanks again to Pewsham for coming up with Geert Meijer name. According to my Dutch colleagues Geert Meijer is .... 53 yrs old and is now coaching a team called Jazira in the United Arab Emirates. I remember a great goal - voley from outside the area by Testimitanu. He wasn't a bad player. Also stiil don't know what happened with Sebok, if I remember rightly he was loaned out to a German team, but haven't got a clue if we ever got any money for him. Anyway thanks for the previous replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Southville Red Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 I remember Meyer, not for a goal he scored but when he hit the bar. Against Birmingham I think. He hit it so hard the bar seemed to vibrate for ages. Thought it had broken, the thump was so loud. What a star he was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bow_Legged_Chicken Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 Lourenco Silva Although i was only 12 at the time he came on loan to Bristol City. i thought after his spell with City he would become the next Eusebio. He was fanstastic. Is he still with Sporting Lisbon. What is he up to now. It has been mentioned before and someone said he went to some english team on loan not too long ago so hes still out and about. Just what we need at the moment I would see he was a touch of class and could find the net easily. He was a biy like DeFoe actually, maybe it was him in disguise? If he turned out as good as DeFoe we would have been laughing but all the players we get on loan that show GREAT potential like him we always seem to send back and forget about, all the ones that have looked OK we have went on to buy.

GrenadaRed Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 Funnily enough I was in a pub in Southport about 8 years ago or so and I met a guy who's sister was engaged to Ray Atteveld. Apparently after we got rid of him in a useless transfer deal losing us £250k (Osman era) he went on to play superbly getting in the Dutch squad. I didn't he was as bad as was made out above and nor did the Dutch manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't he was as bad as was made out above and nor did the Dutch manager. Agreed, I don't think he was actually that bad either. He just had a shocking run of luck in his time at City. In his first few games I think he scored an own goal, got sent off and then had a really bad injury!!!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
