that's 4, not 3... unless Demel never actually played in the first team?

And then there's Yaya Toure? he played against Barnet.

Nordtveit has never played for our first team so there's your extra man from Norway. As far as I'm aware Toral hasn't played for the first team? Been trawling through the lists of players on AFC.com but unfortunately no nationality search filter :banghead:

Demel and Nordveit never played for first team.

Well remembered about Le Roux (though HasKads should have known that one!)

Think the list is complete, though not sure about the Dutch?
Jenkinson and Frimpong and Aneke yet to declare nationality at senior level; I think that Yennaris has the option to play for Cyprus.
Le Roux, Itonga and Papadoupoulous (fine old Czech name) the hardest to work out?

As a follow up, anyone care to list all the Irish players we have had?
