I mentioned Kevin Bru earlier and it got me thinking, I know thats not usually a good thing, about some of the seemingly random, obscure, WTF type signings over the past few years and came up with
GK Begović
RB Sito
CB Santos
CB Thetis
LB O'Dea
RM Le Pen
CM Bru
CM Shumi
LM Civelli
ST Rory Fallon
ST Jason Scotland

I'm guessing you're going for obscure nationalities rather than obscure players. Larsen Toure, Piotr Malarczyk, Danny Karbassiyoon, Stern John and Bilel Moshni all deserve a mention. |  | | |

In terms of obscure (i.e. needed to look most of them up to jog my memory), we've had some crackers. The Jewell years being the best for unearthing unheard ofs who would go on to have a short and unprosperous time with us.
Devann Yao (I couldn't even tell you what position he played)
Shane O'Connor
Brian Murphy
Ryan Stevenson - I remembered him fairly well, but he wasn't around for long
Ibrahima Sonko
Jason Brown
Anthony Wordsworth
Aaron McLean
Freddie Veseli
Alex Henshall
Frazer Richardson
Jack Collison
Josh Yorwerth
Adam McDonnell - genuinely can't remember him, don't even recognise the name
Larsen Touré
Kevin Foley
Paul Digby
Mustapha Carayol
A few of those were loans, but all utterly forgettable. |  |

Sean St Ledger - short term deal and never played a minute.
DJ Campbell - loanee signed by PJ and if I'm not mistaken, was our top scorer that season.
It's been a helluva decade. |  |

Adrian Paz. Could have been Batistuta, but we got Paz.
Looked a bit like the Night Stalker serial killer, however not very cold blooded in front of goal. |  |

good lord. I'd forgotten most of those!!

Ryan Tunnicliffe - seems to have had a decent football career elsewhere and was a regular for McCarthy in the first half of 2013/14 but didn't set the World alight here and perhaps was not all that keen on staying for a full season (in the forlorn hope of becoming a regular at Man. U) |  |

Chopra and Paul taylor
Everything about them should have been a warning. But oh no we still had to go there. |  |

Most of that list remain at the front of my mind for obscure signings but I’d completely forgotten Collison was here!
I’ll also add Gianni Zuiverloon, Patrick Kisnorbo and Connor Grant to the list. More recent names that will be on the list in a few years include Tayo Edun, Tony George and Luke Thomas |  |

Carayol was fantastic at times though. Just a handful of games, of course. But one away game in particular against Preston (IIRC) he ran riot. |  |

Always thought Andy Drury and George O'Callaghan were weird ones. Plucked from unremarkable careers in the Dog and Duck league at 27/28, so not exactly brimming with potential, and went just as unremarkably as expected. | | | |
