Players you thought that were English but weren't

I'll give you an example, Eidur Gudjohnsen, I genuinely thought he was English when I was growing up, He spoke Fluent English as well, I didn't know until about 13-14 years ago that he was from Iceland.

 

John Terry was a surprise, I had no idea he was born in Vietnam.

 

Same with Wayne Rooney. After a little digging I found he was born in a secret "biological facility".

 

A failed attempt at creating a human being?

 

There was a phone call on talksport about 15 years ago from s scottish guy complaining that the Scotland manager was always ignoring Antti Neimi (the Southampton keeper).
When the shows host said "he's finish"
The caller responded with "he not finished, he's only 30"

When host finally explained that Neimi was from Finland the caller sounded really sad

 

Another ****e thread.

 

quality!

 

Mike England turned out to be Welsh.

 

Skiddy's worried that this thread is one step closer to someone doing a "Posters you thought were human but aren't"

 

Exactly Meth isn't human.

 

Biggest surprise for me, Matth, was Haruki Nakamura.

Not only does it turn out that the bloke's Japanese and not English, but he doesn't play soccer. He plays American NFL football.

Unbelievable.

 

Famous rapper John Barnes, he could have fooled you he was English, especially when he was trotting around in an England jersey.

And Raheem Sterling, same thing, although he's not a great rapper like Barnzy.

 

Was there something about his name that might have given you a clue ?

 

I think it was the 'John' bit in the name that gave Matthew the clue.

 

Tim Ream. Bloke's a yank, thought he'd be a prick from Essex with that surname.

 

Eider Gudjohnsen?
The name didn't give it away?
I remember thinking why doesn't Mark Hughes play for England when I was like 10. But I was 10, and his name was Mark Hughes.

But Eider Gudjohnsen?
FFS Matth

 

If you like a prank call then have a listen to Ownage Pranks. Some of them have me broken with laughter.

 

, I genuinely thought he was English, Don't ask me why.
