Fox and Foley represent Wales and Ireland respectively but were both born in England. Someone must know the answer. I haven't a clue but I'd guess back in the distant past of the last century.

I think Yann missed a few matches through injury/suspension, though Pritchard and Dany N'Guessan also started a few matches that seasonse9addick said:

I don't know if Curbs ever started with a team of 100% English born players, as even in the early days the likes of Colin Walsh, Balmer and Kim Grant would have been around the squad, and later Johnny Robinson and Kinsella came in.0 -
Hamer in goal ?0

There were a couple of others too from the early 90s, the likes of Petersson and Ammann1 -
This thread is a goldmine of misunderstanding, thoroughly enjoyable.
Not as good as the Northampton tickets thread though, the misunderstandings in that thread are exceptional.1 -
