I don't think No. 1 actually played for us I remember he was on the bench for a derby at the swamp but I can't remember him actually getting any playing time during his brief loan
 
Abazaj never actually played for City. Likewise Ronald Waterreus & Mattias Vuoso (Arg) were on our books but never actually played.

Missing:
DaMarcus Beasley - USA
Arni Arason - Iceland

It also depends how you determine Nationality. If it's by birth, then:
Marcos Lopes - Brazil
Kiki Musampa - Democratic Republic of Congo (Zaire)
Jeff & Jim Whitley - Zambia
Nedum Onouha - Nigeria
David Sommeil - Guadeloupe
Christian Negouai - Martinique

If by birth then also:
Fitzroy Simpson/Tyrone Mears/Imre Varadi/Ronnie Mauge - England and not Jamaica, Hungary or T&T

Maybe the numbers thing was a bit much to ask! Mexican was matius vuoso, but dont think he ever started first team game, saw him at Rochdale in pre season, think that was it for him... Im gonna have to insist on names as well not just the geezer from the faros!!

Don't think he was Mexican though we immediately sent him out on loan to a Mexican team. Think he was latin American.

The Mexican the other poster was referring to was him that ended up going out with her from Big Brother. The Welsh totty. I think she was in the same series as Ashleign.

Matías Vuoso was born in Argentina but has represented Mexico - and not City. £3.5m well spent.
 
Hang on, Yugoslavia? Are we including countries which have ceased to exist? In that case Rosler should be down as East Germany, not West/Unified Germany.
