Anyone remember the Finnish defender playing in a pre season friendly for us around 1989 or 90 against Orient?

Blonde haired trialist.

Just came back to me whilst watching the game this evening.

I do. We had the black and white hooped jersey in that game. He was a big unit. Had a decent game and sort of surprised we did not sign him.

That is correct, we did wear that kit when he played.

Anyone remember Thomas Willer?

I thought of him when I saw this thread. Better tennis player than footballer iirc.

I remember Willer, signed a short term contract and made a few league appearances. When Willer was on trial he came with another Danish guy who wasn't signed.
Also during that season, we had another Danish trialist called Brian Christiensen. He was a striker who scored in the game he was trialled in and Molby wanted to sign him but we wouldn't pay the 70k or so.
