The great Soner Zumrutel, perhaps...?

Or (and here's a name for those who watched Alty during the 1970s) Lee Koo?
A Scouser of Chinese extraction, as I recall.

Mick Smyth - Goalkeeper around 1964, went on to play full international for the Republic of Ireland

There are not too many foreigners that have played for Alty - however we have had lots of Scousers

I didnt realise we signed Lee Koo from Wigan - I though he was a NWFL part timer like Brian Le Boutellier.

And didn't Kon Kapler play for us in the thirties?

Peter Frankish - he was an alien, wasn't he!

Kon Kapler sounds like a wrestling move.

I'd love to have tried to make up songs about Kon...

Mister Guru,

Here's the lowdown on Lee Koo (extracted from a previous programme article on an Alty XI of players with exotic surnames):

9. LEE KOO

He remains the only individual of Chinese extraction to have played for Alty although he was actually born in the shadow of Anfield! A former Liverpool trainee, he accumulated Non-League experience with the likes of Northwich Vics, Wigan Athletic and Lancaster City before making his one and only appearance for the Robins in a 3-0 defeat at Morecambe in the NPL on 19th October 1976. Tony Sanders had signed this 25 year old striker on a non-contract basis to cover a short term dearth of available forwards at the club but neither party could agree full professional terms and, consequently, he was never to be seen in an Alty shirt again. He briefly returned to The Drill Field and later played for Stafford Rangers and South Liverpool.

Gareth Whalley represented Ireland but not at full international level, as has our current player Michael Welch. Gareth was considered for the full international side around the same time that Everton's Tim Cahill was considered.

Geezo guys the answer has to be LEE RAMOON the Caymen Island international.

And for UK born player whose name makes him sound like the best foreign player (as many suggestions seem to have fallen in to this category) has to be CAVELL COO
