    following from the thread about players from Sweden ...

    How many nationalities have been represented in BFC teams over the years?

    It’s interesting actually.
    By number of appearances, Wales tops the list followed by Scotland and Eire.
    But the next three are Jamaica, Netherlands (mostly De Zeeuw I reckon) and Nigeria.

    Wasn't Montserrat Josiah Dyer? As in 3rd generation British and born in Hammersmith Josiah Dyer?

    Edit: Bruce Dyer represented Montserrat in a friendly too.

    So the list of countries that we've had players from, isn't the same as the list of countries that our players have been born in.

    Guadeloupe is part of France - so any good players could play for the French team. The Guadeloupe team isn't a member of FIFA, only CONCACAF and CFU, so could never enter the world cup.
