I might have missed some obvious examples here, but I'm thinking you might mean:
Austria, Nigeria and the USA.
(We've probably had an American but I just can't think of one!)

I'd entirely forgotten that Adebola made 3 appearances for us, and for some reason I thought that in his one ill-fated season Karbassioon never actually played for us, but he did get 5 appearances.
