With Gheorghe Hagi long since retired, the star name in the Romania squad at Euro 2008 will be Adrian Mutu.
The striker has recovered from the ignominy of being sacked by Chelsea for failing a drugs test and he has rebuilt his career in Italy.
Though a stint at Juventus was not overly productive, Mutu has sparkled at Fiorentina this season and helped the club into the UEFA Champions League. He averaged a goal every other game and has also shown himself to be a potent finisher on the international stage.
Mutu netted six times in qualifying, while Romania have only lost once when he has scored for the national team.
Georgios Samaras is the only Greek player to have his name on the books of a British club after a loan spell with Celtic from parent club Manchester City.
The Eastlands outfit splashed £6million in January 2006 to take Samaras to England from Heerenveen, but it has only really been in his spell in Scotland that he has settled.
However, Stelios Giannakopoulos - who was released by Bolton at the end of the season - will be a familiar face and fans of Sheffield United and Hearts will recognise former players Traianos Dellas and Panagiotis Fyssas, respectively.
Goalkeeper Konstantinos Chalkias had a brief spell with FA cup winners Portsmouth in 2004/05, while defenders Paraskevas Antzas, Sotirios Kyrgiakos and Vassilios Torosidis are all understood to be attracting the eye of a number of British clubs.
