gollark: Maybe I should petition to be a diode atheist and have a transistor cult.
gollark: ... so you can make a transistor out of several diodes, then, or...?
gollark: I don't believe in this "diode cult". It doesn't actually exist.
gollark: Diodes aren't real. Every time current happens to flow the way a diode "permits", it's just coincidence.
gollark: I don't think so. ATX, BTX and ITX are the same... sort of thing, at least.

Notes
  1. Although Santamaría had amassed 20 caps for his native Uruguay from 1952 to 1957, he had been representing Spain in international play since 1958.[2]
  2. Though more famous for representing his native Hungary in international play during the 1950s, Puskás adopted Spanish nationality in 1962.[3] He appeared in four matches for Spain during his time at Real Madrid and was even listed on the Spanish squad at the 1962 World Cup.
  3. Di Stéfano, a native Argentine, had represented both Argentina and Colombia earlier in his international career; however, he became a naturalised citizen of Spain in 1956, and began playing for the Spanish national team in 1957.[4][5]
