A tweet from Jim Brown regarding us signing our first Portuguese player (Carlita excluded as he didn't play a 1st team game) has got me thinking. If you take out England, Wales, ROI, Northern Ireland and Scotland which country have we had the most players from?

Belgium, Holland and France sprung to mind straight away. Working from memory we've definitely had 6 from Jamaica (all relatively recent) and 5 from the USA. Iceland, Morocco, Germany, Sweden, Australia and Trinidad & Tobago have all given us 3 I think.

I'd imagine the French lead the way. In recent years we have had Malaga, Edgjenguele, Beuzelin and currently Vincelot.

pusbccfc · Jul 25, 2015

How could I also forget Mathieu Manset?!

Other French players...

Who remembers a certain Youssef Sofiane who made one appearance in 2006 and Christian Negouai in 2005 who also made one appearance.
Not had the best of luck with French players..

CJ_covblaze · Jul 25, 2015

Not great really! Gotta be France surely.

Joy Division · Jul 25, 2015

Not forgetting the forgetful Jean Guy Walleme and Fabian Debec both from France

CJ_covblaze · Jul 25, 2015

JGW! "Only joined us so his kids could learn English for free". I seem to remember he became the favourite for the Swansea job but Laudrup took over instead. Currently managing in Africa.

My favourite was the 2 we had from Morocco if only we could get a couple of players like that now.....
That would bring in the fans and give us some well earned excitement

One can only dream

Terry Gibson's perm · Jul 25, 2015

We nearly had a Croatian player shame he only made it as far as the stands

CovLis86 · Jul 25, 2015

There was that crazy Strachan spell when it felt like we signed 20 Honduran players... Though it may actually have only been 2/3

2 and one from that other football power Peru, the only thing to ever come out of Peru was Paddington Bear

Jim Brown has said it is France with 15. He did say there was only 4 Jamaicans though which isn't right.

We once had a player from Lybia. Colonel Gadaffi's son IIRC.

covfan1966 · Jul 25, 2015

No, he wasnt going to play, he was going to takeover us

lordy_87 · Jul 25, 2015

Can't forget Nuddy! (Zimbabwe) Excitement every time he touched the ball.

Juggernaut · Jul 25, 2015

Florent Laville was also French

jackdg · Jul 25, 2015

Clayton Ince is from Trinidad and Tobago not Jamaica... As were stern john and Chris Birchall (sort of!)

King, Hines, Loza and Marshall.

sw88 · Jul 25, 2015

Who was the fella that signed at the same time as Paul Trollope? Thinking he was French too

sw88 · Jul 25, 2015

And what about Paulo wanchope. I didn't dream it that he played for us, did I?

Edit: it was Sean Goater

sw88 · Jul 25, 2015

And the lad from Bolton who had the dodgy ticker. Signed by Dowie?

sw88 · Jul 25, 2015

Alex Nimely - Liberian (albeit come English)

skybluetony176 · Jul 25, 2015

We've had a few Swedes. 3 from memory, Hedman, Nilsson and I'm sure there's at least one more but his name eludes me.

He changed his name to Antonelious or something like that....a right back IIRC?

Also one from Norway - Trondt Egil Soltvedt (or something like that)

And a few from Denmark - Hyldgaard, Schmeichel, Johansson, Jorgenson and the infamous Bisgaard

Godiva · Jul 25, 2015

One from Iceland who played even less than Bisgaard - Hreidarsson
