[Football] Nationalities to have never played in the English Football League(s)

South Pacific could feature heavily here. Vanuatu?

Agree, Micronesia, Kiribati, Solomon Islands, Marshall Islands, Samoa as well as previously mentioned Fiji and Tonga, Tuvalu and your Vanuatu!

Surprisingly, the most populous country on the planet has failed to produce a single player worthy of the EPL, India.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Greenland?

And anywhere else that isn't mentioned in this list?

He played international football for Wales so I guess doesn't count for this argument from a statistical point of view, but Neil Taylor, who played for Swansea and Villa in the PL, is of Indian heritage. His mother is from Kolkata.

Believe he also wanted to represent India. But the issue is that India only allows single nationality so naturally players don't want to give up their British passport.

Dilan Markanday for Blackburn is also eligible, as is Danny Batth.

I was going to say we have a couple of lads in the U21s who are already on the radar of the Pakistan football federation (and their fans) but Google advises me one of them (Layth Gulzar) moved to a club in the UAE a couple of weeks ago.

Sahil Bashir is still on the books though, I think.

Greenland?

And anywhere else that isn't mentioned in this list?

Greenland is not a country. It belongs to Denmark and doesn't have a FIFA national team...
Jesper Grönkjaer has Greenlandic roots though and would be eligible for them if anyone was eligible for them.

Indian heritage but born in Wales!
