	great idea for a quiz, i think it's quite striking how few nationalities there are, especially prior to 1997. And also compared with the number of nationalities to have played in the top flight (over 90 odd).

	Yeah, there's some quite well represented nationalities not here (Belgium has had runners up in the 80s, 90s and 00s without ever winning it, for example). Having said that, I'm willing to bet there's not a country in the world where more nationalities have won their premier domestic competition.

	Surely Craig Johnston was australian in 1986

	I've had the 'Craig Johnston argument' about 900 times on here. But here goes. Basically he was eligible for Australia (due to his parents), South Africa (where he was born) and England (due to living here from 15 onwards). He choose to never play for Australia but rather to play for England under 21s, England B team and to accept a call up for the full England squad (though he never actually got a game). In footballing terms then, I would class him as English.

	you should refer to Ireland as the republic of Ireland so as to ensure it's obvious you've made a distinction with it and northern ireland.

	Cestrian:	May 4th, 2011 at 12:23 GMT	5 points
	Except from when the first Irish player won it, it wasn't a republic. It was still part of the UK, it then became the Irish free state and then the Republic. I'm just counting all three as the same because there's continuity between the football teams. In the end of the day, Northern Ireland and Ireland are ruled by different governments and they have different football teams (who play one another), I don't think I need to make it obvious that I've made that distinction. It's a sport quiz and it required some sporting knowledge. The fact that Northern Ireland has a separate football team being one.

	Cracking quiz... and if you've got a spare billion hours to do the research, I'd be very interested to know HOW MANY of each nationality have won it.

	great quiz. the most minor thing though that doesnt actually affect anything, but I would put the Mali representative as Momo Sissoko as he actually played in the 2006 final for Liverpool, rather than Djimi Traore who was an unused substitute. Just feel Sissoko deserves more credit than Traore who was rather talentless.

	Kolarov - Bulgaria 2011, Dzeko - Bosnia Herzegovina 2011, Boyata -Belgium 2011.

	Cestrian:	May 14th, 2011 at 22:02 GMT	2 points
	Kolarov's a serb but the other two have been added.

	Fantastic Quiz Cestrian! Like has been said, it is bizarre hoe few nations have been represented on the winning side of things!
