Dearg81 · 11-06-2009 10:14pm

Poom was the Estonian, i think Lua Lua playes for Congo.

Dearg81 · 11-06-2009 10:17pm

Manucho is Angolan, the Bolivian played for boro, Moreno i think.

Epicurus · 11-06-2009 10:21pm

Manucho, Poom and Moreno are all correct. Lua Lua played for DR Congo, he wasnt the only one though from there. I should have been more specific: Republic of Congo player wanted.

Dearg81 · 11-06-2009 10:22pm

Alexander Hleb is the only other one i can think of, hes from Belarus.

8-10 · 11-06-2009 11:28pm

Blackburn striker Jason Roberts plays for Grenada right?

Epicurus · 12-06-2009 12:25pm

alex Hleb and Jason Roberts both correct

keano_afc · 12-06-2009 12:42pm

Stepanovs for Lithuania.

Nope, he was Latvian, as was Marian Pahars.

keano_afc · 12-06-2009 12:52pm

Spot on, I'm mixing him up with another Gooner, Thomas Danilevicus. He must be the Lithuanian?

The Oman player is the Bolton keeper, Al-Habsi.

keano_afc · 12-06-2009 12:59pm

Daniel Cousin plays for Gabon, thats the only other one I can think of for now.

8-10 · 12-06-2009 1:51pm

Another Blackburn player, Christopher Samba is your Congo player. Looked it up to be sure.

Rehmann is Pakistani and played for Fulham

portumna · 13-06-2009 8:07am

Alexis Nicolas - Chelsea 03-04 (he never played for the Cyprus senior national team but did play U21 even though he was born in London)
Nicos Papavasiliou - Newcastle 93-94

Good question that one.

To the best of my knowledge these two are the only representatives of their respective countries.

Antigua and Barbuda - Mikele Leigertwood
Netherlands Antilles - Shelton Martis

Marc Joseph was at Coventry when they were in the Premiership; don't know if he played for them though

Netherlands Antilles - Shelton Martis

I think this one is right. Tyrone Loran was at Man City for a while. I'm sure he didnt play for them though.

Can't figure out Cyprus..

theworm2345 · 29-06-2009 5:12pm

I cannot confirm if he played against Antigua and Barbuda last night in a friendly, but Delroy Facey was called up to Grenada's squad for the Gold Cup. If he played last night or plays in the Gold Cup he'd be the 2nd Grenada international after Jason Roberts.

Cyprus- He played for Newcastle in mid 90's, just cannot think of his name ! It sounded something like Papas if I remember?

Zambia- Was it Peter Ndlovu

Would Cana be the only Albanian to play in the Premier League?

theworm2345 · 31-01-2011 4:40am

Assuming no freak incident occurs, Stephane Sessegnon will be the first Beninese international to play in the Premier League.
