It does seem unbelievable. Remember when we had the Australian, Steve Chipps when Chris Burns was manager? Had the French defender Niate on Trial during pre-season, went onto play for Torquay United. Also the French striker Diop. Think we had a Spanish striker on loan from Boston United? Antonio Alcatraz?

Andrew Adebowale, Hannah, Hoskins, Kirkup, Mainwaring, Tucker, Wollen.
 Danny ANDREW, Jake ANDREWS.

Very diverse!

As a matter of interest what is the most unusual or remotest location we’ve had represented in our playing ranks? Have we ever had a Polynesian or perhaps someone from Nepal playing for City?

Kieran Thomas is from the Forest of Dean.

Sticking around a while yet, thanks to a gift from a generous angel.

Can Jack James represent Malta?
Thought I saw something on Twitter about that. Had a quick google and looks like he has dual nationality.

Not sure if it qualifies for the list?

Didn’t Jake Gosling represent Gibraltar. ( I can remember him putting the Brackley town keeper on his bottom with some nifty footwork in a 3-1 win away about 8 yrs ago ).

I've seen a couple of documentaries on Reunion; the last one being the Amazon Grand Tour special. 

The place is gorgeous and final resting place of a 17th Century French pirate nicknamed 'La Buse".
