Finnan is Irish so you have 12 (if Kitson is English)

beglee · **Posted:** 17 Oct 2007, 15:26

From wikipdeia:

Quote:

Emmanuel Adebayor (born February 26, 1984 in Lomé, Togo) is a Togolese football player who currently plays for Arsenal... He is of Nigerian descent via his parents who were born in the Osun State in south-west Nigeria.

Does that count as another nationality to bring my total to 13??

Cheers. Isn't Wikipedia great?
Having found that Rio is also of St Lucian descent helps, but it'll help a few others I'd imagine too.
Kitson could have been Irish too apparently, but chose not to be...

Hang on. 14 now if we count Adebayor having Nigerian descent...

That reminds me, the Irish manager at one time (think it was Brian Kerr) tried to convince Kevin Nolan to play for Ireland but he's holding out for England, so he's elligible for a 2nd nationality there.
