    Henry, unless I misunderstood your comment I think you are slightly wrong, Semedo has played in Serie A for Cagliari. That would make it 4 players, two English, one South African and one Portuguese.

    No, I just missed Semedo.  There's also at least one Swedish player.  Still one English player to get.
    and an italian, Di Canio


    But he's not a foreign player in Serie A, like Firmani

    Good question.   Can't think of anyone.  Was he the manager or a coach?

    He was the coach, although in Italy that usually means the same as manger over here. Clubs will have a team manager in the family tree but its usually an admin role.  The bloke in question was John "Dai" Astley who was there in 1948, played for us in the 30's.
