I know Seth is Jewish but many Jews would call themselves English as well.

What about Nana Ofori-Twumasi, though?

I don't know what it is like down your way but I have Bill Nana Ofori-Twumasi the Butcher, Fred Nana Ofori-Twumasi the Baker and Arthur Nana Ofori-Twumasi the Candlestick Maker just round the corner.

Seth Nana Ofori-Twumasi - Chelsea

How many people is that?

 

[MHS]

Seth Nana Ofori-Twumasi currently plays for the Chelsea FC Youth Academy, featuring occasionally at Reserve level. He plays at right-back and also represents his country, England, at U-17 level. In the past, Nana has been offered contracts by top European clubs FC Barcelona and Real Madrid. Newly promoted, for 2006-07, Watford FC have also offered Nana a YTS contract, because of his age he can not be given a professional contract until he is 18. His versatility, speed and strength mean that he can adapt to many different positions on the pitch, making him a very useful and valuable player. He's been touted as a future star and has often been compared to Manchester City star Micah Richards because of his abilities.

4 out of the 9 teams represented are championship teams. That's quite a lot IMO.
