Same name

  • Ilia GruevBulgaria · 1 goals · 1997 — same side, over 20 years apart, so taken as a different person

Caps, goals and cards count what the sources record: line-ups from about 2003 (World Cups from 1970, friendlies from about 2016), and few scorers in older friendlies — so career totals run low.
