Olaf, is Adam Ledwon German or Polish? I used to run into him quite often when I lived in Leverkusen (although I never talked to him). Now he's followed me to Vienna!

Also, a case could be made that Mario Maric of FC Kärnten is German (although I think he might have a Croation passport.

Actually I found this list in the kicker season magazine. The Maric dynasty is Croatian, Ledwon maybe got a German passport - don't know. The list is of July 16th btw.

Today one player was transferred, so the list gets one country richer:

NORWAY

Uwe Rösler - Lilleström SK
