    Quickly off the top of my head:

    Quentin Fortune - South Africa
    Nemandja Vidic - Serbia
    Dwight Yorke - Trinidad and Tobago
    Eric Djemba Djemba - Cameroon
    Ji Sung Park - South Korea
    Manucho - Angola
    Dong - China
    Kanchelsksis - Russia
    Kuzjsack - Poland
    Guesippi Rossi - Italy
    Karel Poborski - Czech Republic
    Carlos Tevez - Argentina
    Diego Forlan - Uruguay
    Mark Bosnich - Australian

    They may not all be correct, but its a stab in the dark right now

    The ones in bold are wrong. Tosic is serbian and he's played acouple of games. Tiabi and Macheda are Italian. Tevez and Veron are Argentine.

    I have:
    Valencia - Ecuador
    Diouf - Senegal
    De Laet - Belgian
    Berbatov - Bulgarian.

    So that's 15 so far!

    He's Swedish and so is Henrik Larsson so that rules him out.

    Gary Bailey is English so Fortune is correct.

    Jonathon Spector played a couple of games for United and is American.

    Schmeichel is wrong since Jesper Olsen played for united in the 80's and the other 4 were already given above!

    And I guess Kanchelskis triples up as not only the only Russian player, but also the only Soviet Union player and only Commonwealth of Independent States player too.

    The Ricardo who played for us was Spanish btw lads, not the Portugeese one who took off his gloves in the penalty shootout vs. England ;) He also means Pique ain't on that list
