[Lord Bracknell]

The Albion A-Z irritatingly lists the various countries of birth of Albion players, without identifying who fits each category (although you can trawl through the individual entries to find out).

The countries are:-

England 568
Scotland 118
Wales 36
Ireland 16 (+ pre-partition Ireland 4)
Northern Ireland 11 (+ pre-partition Ireland 4)
USA 3
Belarus 2 (Soviet Union)
Israel 2
Malta 2
South Africa 2

and 1 each from:-

Australia
Channel Islands
Germany (West Germany)
India
Netherlands
New Zealand
Nigeria
Pakistan (then part of India)
Romania
Singapore
Zimbabwe (then Rhodesia)

Obviously this doesn't include players who first played for the Albion from 1997-98 onwards. Wartime-only players aren't included either.
