European countries we've never had a player from

Postby Tony P » Fri Mar 23, 2012 6:16 pm

When I was having a swim earlier, to keep my mind off the topless girl at the other end of the pool (she wasn't, it turns out, topless. A tan bikini and me not wearing my glasses) I started to think about the European countries we've never had players from. Now aside form the obvious minnows (Andorra, San Marino, Luxemburg, Liechtenstein, Malta) I reckon there are a fair few on the list:

Czech Republic
Turkey
Portugal
Latvia
Lithuania
Estonia
Albania
Finland
Belarus
Moldova
[strike]Hungary[/strike]
Cyprus
Slovenia
Austria
Macedonia
Ukraine

Have I missed any, or have I missed any players?

We had and still have that young lad from Faroe, Gunnar Nielsen, that played with Arsenal when Shay got injured.

Wasn't sure whether Kanchelskis was Russian or Ukrainian. Forgot about Fulop so that's Hungary off the list.

Monaco
Austria
Faeroe Islands
San Marino
Liechtenstein

We might have had a youth player from the Faeroes though.

We had Tuomas Haapala from Finland during Pearce era. Never made it to pitch but was on the bench few times.

Tugay Kerimoglu according to some reports still had his player lisence when he was coach for us under Hughes.

Kanchelskis makes this topic funny. He had Lithuanian roots, was born in Ukraine (all these during Soviet era of course) and represented Russia. I'd count him as Russian though.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?
