Arsenal's imminent new signing Cohen Bramall played at The Grove earlier this season:

"Hednesford Town left-back Cohen Bramall will sign on the dotted line for Arsenal in the next 48 hours, in what is set to be the first piece of business for the Gunners in 2017. The highly-rated 20-year-old, who can also operate on the wing, is believed to have impressed during a two-trial with Arsenal last week and will be handed a contract imminently. It’s understood Bramall will sign a two-and-a-half-year deal with Arsenal and Hednesford are expected to receive a fee of around £40,000 for the young Englishman".

Too true. Sean Flynn, Tim Clarke, Andy Pearce, Stuart Cash, Dean Spink, Jim Rodwell and more. I guess we really have to claim Troy as well even though he technically wasn't ours.

Apart from a couple of players from way back when who had already played for Caribbean islands, have we had anyone other than Anya who has gone on to represent a Country. I don't think we have, have we?
