Read an article in the Telegraph today in the sports pages which went rambling on about England importing all its sports stars. I was left thinking that this was a tad hypocritical (in a Murdoch paper too! Who'd believe it). Surely Australian sport is brimming with such folk. I'm just struggling a bit to think of them at the moment. I came up with:

Kostya Tzu
Tatianna Gregoryova
Toutai Kefu
Clyde Rathbone
Kepler Wessels

but I know there are so many more...any thoughts

Any Poms?

English-born, ambitious Symonds proves himself dinky-di

You never expect the Inquisition, but you can tempt it:

Andrew Symonds is facing the prospect of disciplinary action for breaking team rules after being left out of the Australian side which crashed to a humiliating defeat against Bangladesh in Cardiff overnight.

Correct me if I'm wrong - but isn't Dwight York now playing for a team in Sydney?

THE DWIGHT IS RIGHT FOR SYDNEY FC

Cheeky buggers calling it FOOTBALL FEDERATION AUSTRALIA! Perhaps Soccer ... or Gaelic Dancing Federation Australia, but just because they occassionally kick a simple round ball around using the feet, "FootBall Federation" it does not make.

Siren & Brian

Are these people imported by Australia or they want to come to Australia and then become and Australian Citizen and therefore represent their choice of country not just where they may have been born?
