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


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,158 ✭✭✭Dearg81


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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,397 ✭✭✭Epicurus


    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.

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

    Nope, he was Latvian, as was Marian Pahars.

    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.

    true, but he still made 4 substitute appearances so counts.
    The others were mentioned are all right.

    Rehmann is Pakistani and played for Fulham


  • Registered Users Posts: 260 ✭✭portumna


    I found 2. I did google it though.
    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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 24 theworm2345


    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..

    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.

    The first Faroe Islander is about to come on for Shay after he messed up his shoulder making a save

    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
