Quiz Question

[Gwylan]

Here's a brain teaser for Friday night (see if anyone can get this without looking at the Internet)

There were 13 non-British or Irish players playing in the Premiership in the league's first weekend back in 1992. Can you name them?

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Ole Gunnar? Oh, and Dwight Yorke?

Hard to believe it was only thirteen.

I am perhaps cheating as I started to read an article about this and got as far as Rosenthal, Cantona and Kanchelskis.

Ronnie Rosenthal
Andrei Kanchelskis
Eric Cantona

Efan Ekoku
John Jensen
Craig Forrest
Peter Schmeichel
Bontcho Guentchev
Anders Limpar
Mark Bosnich
Nii Lamptey
Nayim
...and I'm spent!
