Today I randomly remembered sitting in JFK airport in Aug 74 watching the New York Cosmos on a tiny pay TV attached to my chair. I am certain Ralph Wright was playing for them despite records saying he was there in 1973.
So on checking I came across this and was amazed by the County content. Have a look.

It used to be a common occurance for English players to go and have a spell in the US during the 70s / early 80s. Ken Fogarty, Alan Thompson, Mike Czuczman, Stuart Lee and Terry Park (along with George Best and Asa Hartford) were probably the biggest County names to have a go. No doubt others with longer memories than me could name some more.
