the squad that beat Roma circa 1985 was Grobelaar, (only foreigner) Phil Neal, Lawrenson, Hansen, Kennedy , Sammy Lee, Whelan, Souness, Dalglish, Rush, Robinson !

Aren't some of these Republic of Ireland citizens?

Yes, but don't let facts stop Phil trying to make his point!

Does anyone know what it actually is?

It would seem that that some of you are not old enoughto remember how upsetting it was to have so many non english ie british players / managers at some time in thepast but as most english people forget they are british as well this is to be forgiven. Since the premier league and all seating and expensive seats and kits came into place the only players not given media attention were the english players who played in week after week but sadly to our cost the fans only top names are mentioned and their nationality is never questioned when they are bought only when they are played and that by the media who thrive off the needless controversey they ignite seems like its all one big racket paid for by supporters throughout

I'm sorry, I have no idea what point you are trying to make! Why was it upsetting to have non English players? What has England being part of Britain got to do with anything? English players not getting media attention....like David Beckham, you mean?!
