OK, the answer is Tim Cahill of Everton, Millwall, plus teams in top leagues in USA, China, Australia, the middle east and India. He played for the Samoan team as a 14 year old in the under 20's alongside his 2 other brothers in Olympic qualifying matches, his brother carried on with Samoa becoming their captain in the senior side. When he joined Millwall, Mick McCarthy invited him to play for Ireland but he wasn't entitled to because he'd played for Samoa. FIFA changed it's rules in 2004 and said you were only restricted if you played for the senior side, which made Tim eligible for Australia, Ireland, England and Samoa. He naturally chose Australia, as you would. His list of achievements from then on is enormous, look them up on Wikipedia. By the way, he also captained Everton. Don't be surprised if he becomes a manager in the not too distant future. Gillingham wouldn't be a bad place to start. Well, come on Gillsfan, got you there but I'll hand over to you for a new question to keep the ball rolling.
