What nationalities have played with Limerick?
Obviously Irish. Billy Hamilton is from Nothern Ireland but for me that's still Irish. Chris Jones and Brian Flynn are Welsh. Darko Bakic is Croat. Darren Young from NZ. Andy McEvoy and Ewan Fenton were Scottish.Tony Izzi is Irish is he - just Italian extraction? Gary Hulmes is English.
So far then:
Irish
English
Scottish
Welsh
Croatian
New Zealand
We've had a couple from Kerry as well, but they're a differnet species not a different nationality. :)
Any more? Gary and JoeSoap will have a few I reckon.

Could have sworn I've seen him getting on plane for Columbia a few times now so I just assumed he was from there

Andy McEvoy was from Bray. Ewan Fenton was a Scotsman from Dundee all right. Ally dawson was another Scot.
We had a Hungarian in the 50's next to check the name, there was a Romanian in the 80's but I don't think he played in the first team.

In fairness I owned up to stealing it originally (which Rovers fans can't do it seems) but someone edited the title. :)

Leonardo Trenchin.
Anybody remember this guy? About 12 years ago??
He was Argentinean. Came on as a substitute, looked good when the ball was nowhere near him. First time he got the ball he was absolutely nailed, fairly, but violently, by the opposing full back, and stayed away from the ball until the final whistle.
Never saw him again.

Limfan: I Think you will find that the Kerry comment was said with Tongue in Cheek :) .
Noobdy ever doubted the lads Fine Footballers all of them. BTW don't forget Timmy Lynch or now Stephen Conway (Lim U21) either.
btw Please dont use Text Speak when posting. It's bad enough trying to unravel Gaels' meanderings not to mind another fella joining the club.
I will send You all a copy of "Eats Shoots and Leaves" for Christmas :D
All the best

Even leaving aside the fact that you completely misread the intention of the original post (and left out Chris Kearns & Timmy Lynch btw) I couldn't leave the criticism of the two players you named stand. Lester in particular has bust his proverbial :ball:s every time he's played and while I'm not convinced that Waters has it as a winger there's nothing wrong with his effort either. One or two players have looked disinterested for spells this season but they've been from a lot closer to home than we'd like.
Also, who the fu<k are Limerick City FC when they're at home if we're going to be pendantic?
As for the original aim of the post...
The Italian lad mentioned from a couple of years ago never played competitively for us, just a few pre-season games, there was a Nigerian in the same boat as well just before Mike Kerley's second year.
There was a Slovak on the bench several times last year (a feat Darko Bakic never achieved) call Kupec or something to that effect. Don't think he ever made it onto the pitch though.

Yes I remember him. Think it was Noel King that signed him but I could be wrong there. We had high hopes when we heard we had signed an Argentinian. :(

Yep and he had the standard argentinian perm too. One game and he was gone.
