ENGLISH premier league- just in location
Lower quality but more interesting football back then
Brexit might bring back that reality sooner than people think
Is it any wonder it’s never happened again… Villa lost 4-1 to Coventry!
Ironic it was a foreginer who scored the winning goals tho…
Bernard Brogans long lost relative.
And not many English managers either !
I wonder what Premier team had the most Irish players in it?I remember Charlton Athletic had Matt Holland,Mark Kinsella&Dean Kiely at the same time.That would be hard to beat,I reckon.
@Frank MacNamara: Villa with Stan (the gaffer), McGrath, Townsend and Houghton maybe
