That's a fantastic find/spot/fact. He played for both Willem and City AND scored a winner against the Gas. Me thinks Louie deserves more recognition that he has had. 13 hours ago, phantom said: I wonder how many people realise that Louie Donowa played for Willem before us?

Impressive. …. got me wondering who the last Dutch player to play for City. I recall Geert Meijer in 1980. I doubt he was the last. I don’t recall the last Dutch side to visit Ashton Gate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
