After 80 Minutes yesterday Drinkwater was substituted by Inler . That meant that the nationalities of the 11 on the pitch were all different, namely Danish, Belgian, German, Ghanaian, Jamaican, Swiss, French, Japanese, English, Welsh and Algerian. I don't think that has ever happened before at LCFC. Later on we replaced the Algerian with an Argentinian, and the manager is Italian.
O'Neil's team once had 8 different nationals in it but that was counting Elliott as Scottish. I think in the 70's Jimmy Bloomfield's team was all English.
It also shows how far we have come when you consider that after the Inler substitution we were fielding 10 full internationals (Kante the exception). Another record ?
