How many foreign players have played for NUFC since we joined the Premier League

[thenige]

Because the question was asked on the other forum with that stipulation - if you included Irish players I imagine you'd have to look up pre-war players. Those not from the British Isles makes it generally easier to get a rough idea of who have played for the club from abroad, and compare to other teams.

 

The question is how many players have played for Newcastle in the premier league.  How many pre war players have lived long enough to play in the premier league?

 

Doh.

I've updated the list to take out five players who never played for NUFC: Diatta, Pinas, Gudjonssen, Perez and Troisi, added Luque who was missing, and a recount shows sixty players.

 

I think we should compile a list of Irish players, then add them all to the main list later.

 

Off the top of my head, I can think of:

 

Stephen Carr

Jimmy Crawford

Damien Duff

Shay Given

Alan O'Brien

Andy O'Brien

Liam O'Brien

Wasn't Jimmy Crawford Irish? He made a couple of sub appearances.

[James]

According to wikipedia, yes he was.

Lionel Perez never played for us did he?

Denmark - Bjorn Kristensen (not sure f he was sold the season before?)

France -David Terrier

Holland - Brian Pinas

Has Troisi played for the full team?  he played a friendly but that surely doesn't count.

 

Yes he has
