Carl Spackler Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Thinking back to the days when Niemi was here I'm sure we had a Finnish flag along with other players flags. How many flags would we have now? Anyway, do we have the most nationalities in the SPL? If so how do we compare to teams in the EPL and Championship?

heartsfc_fan Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I reckon someone like Arsenal would have a lot of Nationalities. However I noticed against Motherwell 7 British players started the match for us: Banks Thomson Berra Wallace Driver Stewart Mole Pretty good if you ask me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The People's Chimp Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 We should bring back the flags around Tynie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hearts Heritage Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I'll do a count based on first team games watch this space. A big Brucey Bonus if anyone can name the first 'non British Isles' player to play for Hearts in a competitive match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake Plissken Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Janos - Hungarian Zaliukas, Mikolinuas, Cesnuaskis, Ivaskevicius, Ksnavicius - Lithuanian Karipidis - Greek R.McGowan, Visconte, Park - Australian Rapnik - Slovenian Obua - Ugandan Beslija - Bosnian Kingston - Ghanian Jonsson, Bjornsson - Icelandic Palazuelos - Spanish Aguiar - Portigese Makela - Finnish Basso, Nade - French Kostadinov - Bulgarian Tullberg - Danish Wagner - Austrian Copil - Romanian I make it 17 different nationalities if we include U-19/reserve players. I know there are a few others in the U-17 (McGowan's bro, the American defender etc) as well. No doubt I've missed one or two... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
