I think there are no more nationalities to have played from the list though.

Who'd have thought there'd be no Germans on it................Ron Robert-Zieler could change that though!

Well done, extremely difficult to get especially considering you read it a couple of posts above yours. And it's obvious because it's in the exact same order before you try to bluff you're way out of it...

He's Italian.

I remember him, just about though. He was on loan from Motherwell if my memory serves me right. It was around the time they had a load of goalkeepers out through injury etc... It was an emergency loan wasn't it?

He made two first team appearances.

If I remember correctly he made as debut vs Southampton at The Dell and went on to play once more for United then Barthez came back.
