It lets you see where the players are from for the league, each team and compares 2009-10 to 1989-90 .. quite a shift in the last 20 years.

I was just going to post this. Interesting indeed. Especially, how very Scots now appear in top flight English teams.

There is a real howler in there.

It describes the distribution of EPL players now compared to 20 years back. One of the players supposedly 'born outside the UK' in the latter section was Ray Houghton.

Is Glasgow not in the UK?
