questions for the club historians
I think I count thirteen different nationalities in the club's first team squad now. It begs the questions
1. how many nationalities have represented the club in its history (counting NIR, Wales, Scotland as separate in footballing terms)?
2. is this the most nationality-diverse squad in our history?
3. how does the current squad compare to other Championship clubs?

Re: questions for the club historians
Added NZ just after I’d originally posted it. Was intended to go on with Australia.
I’ve not included such as Nigeria for Ade Akinbiyi. I know he played for them but he’s English.
