Thanks for the info

I always thought he was English, maybe cos he used to play for Arsenal. Sorry about that
It's okay. Trappitoni (sp?) is supposed to have replied "Roy Keane" when asked which English player he'd most like in the Italian squad. It's an easy mistake to make from a distance, since all of our best players are based in England. A funny fact for you - no Manchester United team has ever won major trophy without an Irishman in the first team.
Though if you're including British-based players, Robbie Keane played (or, more accurately, didn't play) for Inter for a few months about two years ago.
