Interesting - I had never heard of Steven before. A guy scoring 1 in 3 in France now would be our first pick up front! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing for Lierse in Belgium fairly regularly in 2013-2014 (so he might still have been a teenager - just - then). Obviously Burke's foreign foray is a few levels higher though. Apart from that, I can't think of a single name. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestersKTID Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Souness played for Montreal at 19. Not a top league but teenager outside of UK. Scott Booth 25 or so at Dortmund. Mo Johnston 24 odd at Nantes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
