    African players

    With the imminent signing of Ambrose has got me thinking we haven't had that many African players have we? A lot of our African sounding players have been mostly French with African heritage. Who can you name?

    Does Alen Orman count? Remember him touting himself for a Nigeria cap at one point.

    They most certainly were, but I'm reading about the African slavery history to T+T, and if you believe in evolution everyone of us came from Africa. Sorry slow day for me,

    Bamba, El Alagui and Malonga are not really 'African' if the definition is that they were born there.
