Shaun Goater?

Camara is the most prolific Guinean with 9 goals, and Goater is the only Bermudan to have scored in the Prem.

[bruhnaldo]

Bulgaria - Berbatov

[bruhnaldo]

Iceland - Sigurdsson (spl)

[niko_cee]

You don't have to use a new post for every entry.

[bruhnaldo]

You don't have to use a new post for every entry.

My apologies but was told you're not supposed to edit your post per the rules of the thread and they just keep coming to me as I go through so I do apologize again cause i know it's annoying.

[bruhnaldo]

Nigeria - Alex Iwobi? lol

[bruhnaldo]

ooooh unless it's KING OGHALO for Nigeria

[Dave.]

Berbatov
Cristiano Ronaldo
Jovetic
Solskjaer
Wanchope
Son (Spurs)

[Dave.]

I'm thinking Yakubu.

[SvN]

Kanu surely

[niko_cee]

How many Kenyans have played in the league? Just Wanyama?

And Hondurans? I want to think there has been some sort of forward, but I can only think of Wilson Palacios. Where was Rodallega from?

Roque Santa Cruz of Paraguay if not already said.

Colombia maybe Asprilla or Juan Pablo Angel?

Okazaki for Japan? Feels like there may be a better guess than that.

Rodallega was also Colombian. Wanyana is the only Kenyan goalscorer, not sure if others have made appearances.

Only 14 goals for Okazaki but it puts him as the top Japanese goalscorer.

[Dave.]

If Van Nistelrooy is not Netherlands one, it must be van Persie.

[thommo]

If Van Nistelrooy is not Netherlands one, it must be van Persie.

Correct, 144 PL goals. van Nistelrooy scored 95.

Radzinski for Canada?
