Di Canio, Diamant, Di Michele?

Could've sworn we had more was Daprela not Italian? or at least had Italian descent?

[paulthebubble]

Lazaridis may have been born in Greece. Tombides also has Greek roots.

Swiss, the Italian speaking part like Behrami.

[LeonRivers]

Marco Boriello becomes West Ham's 5th Italian. Italy are now level with USA and Senegal as the joint 5th most represented nation (outside of 'home' nations).

[LeonRivers]

Pablo Estifer Armero becomes West Ham's first ever Colombian.

Well done Daily Mail, an attack on foreigners and West Ham all in one article.

[vietnammer]

Well The Independent, that well-known right-wing publication, did this in Arry's day headline West Ham's Foreign Legion. They didn't quite put the DM's slant on it though.

[Jonah]

I've said it before and say it again. Adam Newton is as much St. Kitts and Nevian than I'm f**king Chinese.

Pish.

Couldn't see Bermuda in there: Clyde Best.

Couldn't see Bermuda in there: Clyde Best.

Played his last game in c&b 16 years before the Premier League was established.

[Greatest Hits Vol1]

They missed Alex Bunbury of Canada. Pretty sure he was around the first year of the premiership.

[Faubert's Boot]

We've had 2 other Swedes along with Ljungberg, Rami Shaaban and Niclas Alexandersson

[Faubert's Boot]

Rami Shaaban for Sweden

[LeonRivers]

Rami Shaaban for Sweden

Blimey, where did this come from?
He never played for us though?

[richneal]

They missed Alex Bunbury of Canada. Pretty sure he was around the first year of the premiership.

Not quite. His handful of games were all in 92-93, when we were 1st Division. He was gone by the time we got promoted . . . thankfully
