bc_soccer_fan Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 I was wondering who are some Canadians who have played for other nations at any level? Here are some that I know of Owen Hargreaves- England and Wales Mark Chung- USA John Van't Schip- Holland Jaime Lopresti- Chile Andrew Williams- Jamaica Gilbert Jean-Baptiste- Haiti Simon Lynch- Scotland Kevin Sharpe- England Jimmy Nicholl- N. Ireland Allan Mannus- N. Ireland Alain Rochat- Switzerland John Kerr- USA Stathios Kappos- Greece Joe Kennaway- Scotland Terry Dunfield- England I know I must've missed some. Damn that some damn good talent we missed out on. Although some of those players did eventually smartened up and pledged allegiance to the Maple Leaf.

Other than Hargreaves, which of these players has done anything significant? Other than Hargreaves, which of these players would have been or would be significant members of the Canadian national team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Oranje Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Van't Schip played a number of times with Holland (don't know the number of caps). He also was a member of the EURO Champion Dutch side in 1988. I would actually rank him ahead of Hargreaves in terms of accomplishment. But he left Canada at the age of 10 for Holland so I can't blame him for playing for Holland. Born: 30 december 1963, Fort Saint John, Canada CLUBS: Ajax, Genoa; Ajax, FC Twente Caps: 41, Goals: 2, Total Club Games: Ajax 81/82 - 91/92 Genoa 92/93 - 95/96 Total games: 380 Total goals: 40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Nichol play for Man U once in 1978 (live, saw him several times on television). I don't think he was better than Lenarduzi or Bruce Wilson. I am sure he would have won some caps for Canada, but players of his relative talent are in Div one these days, replaced by foreign players of greater ability. Kennaway was apparently very good. I think he played with Celtic back inthe 30s. I see Dunfield on the list. He is capped tied to Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoyleG Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Kappos isn't capped tied to Greece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 I think bc_soccer_fan was going for 'played for' not cap tied. Kennaway played for both countries. Dunfield had one U17 English cap. Kappos isn't cap tied either, etc. I think Nicholl would have been useful for us and I think Mark Chung would have been a sight better as an attacking midfielder circa 1996-97 than anyone we wound up using in that World Cup qualifying cycle. He's not great, but he could have filled a weak spot. That being said his ties here aren't that strong, so I understand why he didn't play for us. Many of these guys fall into that category, players who had stronger ties to other countries. cheers, matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Dylan Hughes (if he was the guy at Newcastle for a while) played some ganes for the Welsh U-17s or some such a couple of years back.
