who are full-time national players in micro-nations like Andorra, Faroe Islands, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malta, San Marino?
Well, ther are 2 players from the Faroe Islands earning their living as full-time professionals in the Danish league, 22-yo Jón Rói Jacobsen and 25-yo Suni Olsen (both AaB Aalborg) , though to be honest non of them have played a single Superliga match this season, though Suni Olsen did play 2 Royal League (Scandnavian Championship) games for AaB this year. Jón Rói Jacobsen played 5 and Suni Olsen 17 Superliga games last season for AaB. Otherwise Jákup á Borg (HB Tórshavn) used to play for Danish OB Odense and Johan Byriel Hansen who retired this summer, used to play for AC Horsens in the Danish Superliga. .
A couple that I know from Liechtenstein: Mario Frick plays for AC Siena, and Peter Jehle plays for Boavista.
San Marinese legend Massimo Bonini was a Juventus player in mid 80's. He retired in mid 90s, after played some caps for San Marino. Jeff Strasser of Luxembourg, played for Metz & M'gladbach. I don't know where is he now? Claus Bech Jorgensen (Faroe-Danish player) played in England, maybe in League 1 or Championship?
Ildefons Lima and Marc Bernaus are playing both at 2nd Division/ 2nd B Division at Spain. One of them is playing at Elche FC and the other one at Rayo Vallecano, but don't know who's playing at each team... Both are playing for Andorra national team
Gunnar Nielson is a Faroese GK on the books at Blackburn Rovers. Obviously it's going to be tough to get the #1 spot, since Friedel pretty much has it cemented, but his contract runs out in 2010 I think, and Nielson may be groomed to replace him.
Petro Rucu is a midfielder from Moldova who plays with IFK Norrköping, who are playing in the Swedish first division after winning promotion last year.
Malta has quite a few playing internationally. Justin Haber GK - Sheffield United Andrei Agius - Igea Virtus (Italy Serie C2) Manny Muscat - Wellington Phoenix (A-League) John Hutchinson - Central Coast Mariners (A-League) just came to the National team this year, he is of maltese decent but born and raised in Australia and figured he would have a better impact on Malta than Australia NT. Etinenne Barbara - Just started a two week trail with Sheffield Wednesday last I heard. Daniel Bogdanovic - Barnsley Michael Mifsud - Was on loan to Barnsley from Coventry City but his contract has expired and is currently looking for a Club. Andre Schembri - SK Austria Karnten The rest on the national team are playing for clubs in the Maltese Premier League.
Franz Burgmeier, deemed the Michael Essien of Liechtenstein by the Darlington chairman's 7-year-old grandson. That kind of keen decisionmaking is what got Darlington where they are today. I think at one point last year Darlington had an entirely English roster except of course for the one guy from Liechtenstein. He is now back in the Swiss league with Liechtenstein's only pro team, Vaduz, which of course has been in European play for 37 years in a row. Vaduz currently has players of six nationalities.
