We probably don't have many pre-1992, off the top of my head:

Ardiles, Villa
Claesen
Chiedozie

Anyone else?
 
Max Seeburg was a German player on our books in the Southern League Era and the first season of the Football League in 1908-09.

I'm pretty sure he was the first Foreigner with Spurs, although Walter Tull might also be in with a shout, as he was half West Indian (his father was from Barbados).
 
I mapped the birthplaces of all the players and turned it into an interactive map you can play with here:

Blue disks are appearances, white squares are goals. Since Admin Admin will probably not let me embed an iframe, here's a picture:

If you click on the disks in the interactive version, it tells you who it is, blah blah.
 
Benny and Iversen are the international cap leaders, who would have guessed?
