Should Levy Nzongou finally fulfil his potential then he may well end up back at a Superleague club. He was born in Brazzaville, Congo. Didnt he play for saints?

BrisbaneRhino Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Leeds didn't seem to have as much success with South Africans as some sides, although Wilf Rosenberg, the 'Flying Dentist is the standout. Louis Neumann (later at the Roosters) had a pretty good couple of seasons. After those two our record falls off drastically. We had Jack Pansegruow who played just a couple of games before going to Fax, and Ernie and Ossie Deysel who had trials on the wing but didn't make the cut. After those guys its a long wait before the aformentioned Eddie Rombo, who is from Kenya. I remember Ray Mordt and Rob Luow came to Wigan at about the same time as Du Toit. They also had a fullback from Namibia (?) whose name escapes me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The absolute worst has to be Peter Lovenkrands (what is it about Danes?) who sounds more Scottish than many Scots. There’s not even a hint of Danish in his speech. Just googled his name and unsurprisingly accent appears as the fourth option. Came across this story where a Newcastle teammate thought he was Scottish until he spoke to another Dane. https://insidefutbol.com/2016/10/19/newcastle-team-mate-thought-i-was-scottish-until-i-spoke-to-nicklas-bendtner-peter-lovenkrands/309918/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was talking about Sadiq Adebiyi , yeah I think Levy has been at Saints and maybe Salford and Hull FC as well as Toulouse and Bradford. Been around, just needs to settle down and work on his game. Still young really but needs to start fulfilling his potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrewsbury roughyed Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Lucas Onyango put in a very strong stint for Oldham Roughyeds a few years ago. Also played for Widnes.
