A bit of fun - CCFC player nationalities?

Sun Aug 11, 2013 7:02 pm

After signing Medel yesterday and Cornelius earlier it got me thinking - have we had a Chilean or Danish player before and then on to what nationalities have we had .................so here is my first attempt:-

1. Wales - loads
2. England - loads
3. Scotland - loads
4. Northern Ireland - Paul Millar, Gary Lavery??, Tony Capaldi, Phil Mulryne
5. France - Roooooooooooooooooody (Ooops sorry - Benin)
6. Holland - JFH, Loovens
7. Iceland - Gunner, Helgar
8. Italy - Some youngster who's name I can't remember but didn't really feature.
9. Guadeloupe - Migeul Commigues
10 - USA - Eddy, Eddy, Eddy (I saw him score twice)
11. Turkey - Kerem Frei (on loan)
12. Denmark - Andreas, Kasper Shmeicel
13. Chile - Pitbull
14. Australia - Tony VIdmar
15. Congo - Guylain Ndumbu-Nsungu
16. Finland - Peter Enkleman, Toni Koskela
17. Israel - Dekel
18. Jamaica - Jobi MacUnuff
19. Japan - Inamoto
20. Nigeria - Taiwo
21. Slovakia - KIss
22. Slovenia - Velikonja

Any from Eire, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Norway, Sweden, Austria or other South American countries?
All seem to be recent too.
Just some initial thoughts?

Thanks all - as I said - a first attempt but I am embarrassed I forgot Kav;s, Kimbo, Fan Zhi, Langley, Gypes (that rugby tackle on Smith was legendary) and Alston - I hold my head in shame - how could I forget Adrian!!

Pitbull's gonna get you !!!
RVp - be scared - be very scared!!!

Adrian - a leg end
For me though Robin was up there too, despite not here long enough.. (admittedly not foreign)
Onwards and upwards all
