Kuszczak, Gibson, Michael Keane, Drinkwater, Norwood, Pogba and Lingard were all players known at the time, either first teamers or players in and around breaking into first team.  I am sure Solksjaer was the manager as well.

Remember when Blackburn Rovers bought a full squad of Players who'd go on to win the Premier League the next season for Allys testimonial?

Shearer was a notable absence but still some team.

I mind us having a pre season game against a decent Bolton Wanderers side a number of years ago. Maybe a 1-1 draw. 

Think it was the same pre-season that we battered Motherwell, and everyone was cautiously optimistic of a good season where we would challenge at the top end for a return to the 2nd tier, then ended up being very shite.

Edit. Aye, 12/13, we finished 7th in League 1.

We also put 6 past Clyde in the league cup in August, which helped fuel expectations.

We played Southampton the week he signed for Blackburn so he didn’t play, we played Blackburn just before he signed for Newcastle and he didn’t play. We played Newcastle in John Traynors testimonial and he didn’t come up for it. 
Stuart Ripley was a big name in that Blackburn team, he went for a ball with the Ayr keeper on the day, Wullie Spence. Spence missed the ball and cleared Ripley out the 18 yard box in stead with a right boot to the ribs.

Whe was the last time we played a foreign team at Somerset? Aarhus in 1975 when we won 4-1?

Nah, we played Cluj a few years back when they were Romanian Champions. We played a few when Reid was manager in some tournament Kenny Moyes arranged. Can’t remember who they were though.

Unirea Urziceni, who went on to beat Rangers at Ibrox in the CL that season IIRC, managed by Dan Petrescu at the time.

Think we drew 1-1, Andy Aitken scored an absolute beauty of an own goal IIRC?

Must have missed that. It was 2012. The only other foreign team I remember at Somerset was (I think) Gornick Zabrze from Poland.

Not sure Coleraine falls in to my definition of foreign. I'd maybe allow Derry City on a technically since they play in the League of Ireland.

Talking to a Jags fan at work today. He thinks it won't be long before he moves up a level.

He obviously had that howler against us, I’ve not actually seen enough of him to tell so just going off the comments of Partick fans. Whether there’s some hyperbole after his strike last night I don’t know!

To jump standards so quickly and well is very impressive though, so you would think he would continue to kick on.

See Morton are running a night at Cappielow for the Germany v Scotland game.  £20 gets you a pint, get to keep the stein and some food.  Surely something we've looked at doing, would imagine quite a lot would be interested and a fair few quid raked in through the bar?

Not a suprise but Chalmers confirmed leaving Dundee United

Would take McMann, Wotherspoon and Mochrie from that list all 3 would be good signings especially Wotherspoon as we badly need a link between midfield and attack which we haven't really had since Stephen Kelly.
