Village Idiot Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 I would not have guessed Senderos had Spanish blood I guess I'm being woooshed here since it's a perfectly Spanish surname... Not a bad list of players, although I would probably only have Aubameyang and Carrasco in the actual Spanish squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggs Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 I have never heard of a Spanish person called Senderos tbh. More to do with his looks anyway than the name Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
newsted Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 I have never heard of a Spanish person called Senderos tbh. More to do with his looks anyway than the name "Senderos is a child of Serbian (Zorica Novković) and Spanish (Julián Senderos) immigrants." And yet it's true! Who would have guessed?

More to do with his looks anyway than the name "Senderos is a child of Serbian (Zorica Novković) and Spanish (Julián Senderos) immigrants." And yet it's true! Who would have guessed? Besides France, for obvious proximity reasons, there was a very large Spanish immigration into Switzerland during Franco times, to perform menial and industry jobs. Also Germany. That's why there's so many Swiss and German players in that list. In more recent times England has been a favorite destination, so I guess in 20+ years there might be a George García up there. I think they are jumping the gun a bit with Lallana (I think he has a Spanish grandfather but that's it). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmoset Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Pretty much on this subject and it's a bit Milner, but recently met a Polish Brazilian, which I thought was a very unusual combo. Turns out due to immigration in the early 20th century, Brazil has the 2nd biggest Polish population outside of Poland. Would never have guessed that in a pub quiz and found it quite interesting. :milner: :milner: :milner: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 We have the 2nd largest Italian, Japanese, Libanese, Syrian population (incl. counting the countries of Italy, Japan etc) that I'm aware of and then also the 3rd largest Romani, Polish and some others. Think Sao Paulo has the largest Italian and Japanese population outside of their respective countries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That includes loads of footballers plying their trade in mid-level teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Watched some of Scholes 100 PL goals or whatever on Sky. The Man U sides he played in scored some fantastic team moves. Beckham, Giggs, Yorke, Sheringham in particular. And he scored a number of great goals. Fantastic sides. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
