I had this in a quiz and it stumped everybody. We didn't have google so see if you can do it without.
On the opening weekend of the first premier league season, there was only one match that had one or more foreigners on each side.
What was the fixture, and who were the foreigners?

Went through some of the line ups and Ipswich - Aston Villa seems to at least count. Ipswich had Craig Forrest (Canadian international) between sticks and Villa had Ray Houghton and Paul McGrath (Ireland).
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

There were one or two got it right. I wondered whether it was common knowledge or not. Now I know.
It was City v QPR. Apparently. Vonk and Stejskal.

So my answer wasn't right? Or are Irish British now?
