Lots of memories brought back reading that list...a few names which on reading them could drain the appetite for life from anyone. Could select an interesting Best XI vs. Worst XI from that lot.

The original article upon which it was based referred to non-British/Irish players, for all those determined to point out every Irishman, Welshman or Scotsman to don the claret and blue.

I was thinking the other day about nations that were represented by West Ham players; both those that had represented their country in football or those that had been born in one of these countries. I thought it'd be a good idea to see if we could put together a comprehensive list... Or not? Any glaring omissions? I'll update as we go...  England  New Zealand  Wales  Portugal  Ireland  Czech Republic  France  Mexico  Finland  Scotland  Australia  Italy  Croatia  Trinidad & Tobago  Argentina  United States of America  Colombia  Israel  Senegal  Spain  Cameroon  Sweden  Switzerland  Denmark  Brazil  Ghana  Paraguay  Egypt  Belgium  Netherlands  Norway  Northern Ireland  Saudi Arabia  Hungary  Guinea  Ivory Coast  Romania  Jamaica  Iceland  Slovakia  Mali  Chile  Serbia  Congo DR  Uruguay  Cyprus  Nigeria  Uganda  Peru  Bulgaria  Germany  Costa Rica  Bangladesh  South Africa  Canada  Ukraine  Bermuda  Turkey  Angola  Sierra Leone  New Caledonia  Poland  Saint Kitts and Nevis I'm bound to have missed out a few African nations where they went on to play for France etc. Bangladesh isn't strictly true - just that Anwar Uddin is eligible to play for them...

That's brilliant - I never knew that was on here! Thanks UTJ.
I think that may signify the death of this thread haha. Does anyone know of any more nations whereby players were born in THAT country but chose to represent someone else?

Looking at that article reminds me of how much we love or Czech goalkeepers  There's a job you just volunteered yourself for Hayden, do an updated version of that article.
