Watching some dross which the better half had on tonight , when my mind started to wander . " He's just not from another country , he's from another planet ". Not just a cracking ditty by The Only Ones , but a comment refering to Jackie Dziekanowski.

So how many nationalties have played for the City ?

For starters ........

A = Austrailia = Paul Agostino

B = Bermuda = Shaun Goater

C= Canada = Jim Brennan

D= Denmark = Bjorn Kristensen

E = England = Chris Garland

F= Finland = Pertti Jantunen

G= Germany= Alec Eisentrager

H= Holland = Ray Atteveld

I = Italy = Lorenzo Pinamonte ( Where is he now ? )

J = Jersey = Kevin Langan

K=

L= Libya = Jehad Muntassa

M= Moldovia = Ion Tistimetanu

N= Norway = Vegard Hansen

0=

P= Poland = Jackie Dziekanowski

Q=

R=

S= Sweden= Jan Moller

T=

U= USA = John Boyd

V=

W= Wales=Mark Aizlewwod

X=

Y=

Z=Zimbabwe = Henry McKop.

You can only pick one from each nation ( hence no Soren Anderson as I have already picked one other great Dane ) but feel free to add different nations i.e. Portugal = Danni Rodrigues.

Anybody who can find players from K,0,Q,T,V,X,Y is a sadder anorak than me.

Lorenzo plays for Castel Di Sangro in League C1 in Italy, has done for about 3 years.

Some of you will know that this team in Southern Italy(Abruzzo) were the subject of a great book(Joe McGinniss) when amazingly for a town of 5000 were promoted to Serie B back in 1996.

C1 is a professional regionalised league.The town is described as impoverished, under heavy mafia domination and drab but surrounded by beautiful mountains.

During the season there is the obligatory car disaster, bribery allegations but it's one of the best footy books and is still widely avaliable.

That is a fair list mate.Can't add to it.

I read that book a few years back , like you said Jim , a good book . Unfortunately , it loses all credibility when he says he supports Notts County - a team we always lose against whenever I attend Meadow Lane.

Give me a St Vincent , Jim ...........

V- Didn't we have a Venezualen (spelling) international on trial at the start of last season just after the Jamaican trailist (who scored in the friendly at Hereford) was sent packing.

Can't remember his name, but I'm pretty sure he was a central defender.

S- sierre Leonne, Leroy Rosenior was capped by them

B- Barbados- Greg Goodridge

OK folks, it's trivia time.

The only country with a name beginning with O is Orange Free State, which is part of South Africa. Q and X are provinces, but not nations in their own right; Queensland (Aus), Quebec (Can), Xosha(Namibia) and Xingu (Brazil). So that's three less letters to fill.

Funny - I once stayed in a very luxurious hotel in Oman, though I didn't bump into Kevin Muscat. Wonder which country those Omanis live in ? Travelled there from Doha, which I seem to recall was in Qatar.

Tripoli is between Ar Zawiyah and Al Khums on the Mediterranean coast in Libya in North Africa.

Tarabulas esh Sham by El Mina in The Lebanon is also named as Triploi on some maps.

Now I can sleep at night.
