Quaresma famously so. Gets a huge amount of abuse in Portugal off the back of it - that community is very heavily discriminated against there.That's a decent record, even at that level.
Google suggests he's from the Irish Traveller community. I mention this purely as a point of interest due to the relative rarity of such a background in football, so please, please: no derogatory responses, folks.
Would make him the subject of considerable media interest if he makes it as a footballer- I can remember Freddie Eastwood (Romany Traveller heritage) being a prolific striker for Southend and being subjected to abusive shouts about caravans everywhere he played. Hopefully we've moved on a bit since then.
Interestingly, as part of the same google search: it turns out Eric Cantona, Ricardo Quaresma and Andrea Pirlo are all of Romany Traveller heritage too. Never knew that before. Every day's a schoolday, eh?

Celtic have HUGE Irish links and support though so either is possible, if there is anything in it of courseAs the Albion have had a long tradition and association with players originating from the ROI, playing for the club.
If this transfer comes into fruition, hopefully he'll make the wise choice of south instead of north over the border.
I'm aware of that, just bigging up the Albion link.Celtic have HUGE Irish links and support though so either is possible, if there is anything in it of course
He did in Shooshh so much so they had to close due to the lack of his trade.Even the prolific young Aaron Connolly never racked up those numbers.
And a further 31 so far this, season, apparently42 goals last season for their U18/21 sides.
That’s some going.
