Nationalities (1 Viewer)

[SkyBlue]

I'm a bit bored so I've been thinking up all the different nationalities of players who have played for us over the years, and trying to see if there is any countries with large populations that we a have never been represented by.
So far I've come up with a few dubious ones
Italian?
Russia?
Any South Americans?
Spanish?
Portuguese?

I know I've probably missed loads but can anyone else think of any?

Probably embarrassed myself here with some extreme lack of international knowledge

Dietmar Bruck is the most obvious, not sure if there are others.

 

[ccfctommy]

Is he actually German though? Apparently he was born there and moved to Coventry as a small child.

 

[tbh444]

Vicente Engonga was Spanish.

And of course Emilio Aldecoa in 1945 (not off wikipedia, erm honest!)

Think Evtushok was Ukrainian rather than russian, although was probably all soviet when he was born

Not a clue to be honest, I was going mainly on name (this is why Burnley-born Jay Rodriguez still baffles me to this day)

Jose Perdomo - Uruguay
