arbroath55 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Back in the 60`s Dundee United had quite a few Scandinavian players who played for their countries From Wiki - A strengthened playing squad during the 1960s, which included imports from Scandinavia such as Örjan Persson, Finn Seemann, Lennart Wing, Finn Døssing and Mogens Berg,[8] gave United their first taste of European football. On 25 August 1966 Dundee United eliminated Barcelona, then holders of the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup (now known as the Europa League), beating them 2–1.....

OLAS Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 (edited) Quinton Jacobs - Namibia. Scored from a corner at Stranraer for Thistle. Wiki tells me I'm wrong. Was against Ross County at Firhill. Which rings a bell. I do recall a game at Stranraer... perhaps his debut or a substitute who turned the game for us.

Barney Rubble Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Miodrag Krivokapić former yugoslav internationalist who played at dundee utd before motherwell. Hmm. Although he was a cracking player, it's a bit of a stretch to say he was a major internationalist - he played 5 times for Yugoslavia.
