Having watched a number of games on the TV lately it struck me the number of overseas players that some clubs now have. I was wondering therefore if we could make up a team. 
I can recall Ray Brady (Ireland ) , David James (Australia ) , Joel Bevis and Landry Zahana Oni , both France and of course Davide Rodari (Italy ). At present we have Knorry from Bermuda. Can anybody recall any more. ?

Am counting Welsh,Scottish and Northern Irish as British. Can’t find out where Antonio was born but played for Rimini. Can’t believe he is still only 31 , seems years since he last played for us. Have to correct myself over Landry , appears he actually comes from the Ivory Coast.

Elvis Hammond was a Ghanaian international by the time he played for us as well.

Think Elvis was a naughty boy and ended up as a guest of Her Majesty. Forgot Bailo Camara who I think still plays locally. He comes from Guinea Bissau.

What about English born players who have played for other countries?
Lee Worgan a Welsh U21 International
Eliis Remy played for Montserrat

Remys wiki page is interesting.
Probably the only person born in Hastings to represent Montserrat
He also seems to have represented 30 clubs in his career which must be some sort of record?

He managed several league sides and the Vietnam national side

Well done John, a silver star for you. If you look at his career it is quite remarkable . He was manager of United at the age of 23 , makes Aggie almost a pensioner, and went onto manage in 10 countries including Malmö in Sweden who he took to the European cup final. Gather he is still going strong selling cars in Cheltenham.

 Bobby was one of dad's favourite players. Dad asked me what happened to him,,, I googled him a few years back and it stuck in my mind... He was a great player and looked like Bobby Moore
