The only non-Englishman was QPR goalkeeper Tony Roberts; a Welshman.The last Premier League season in which an entirely English starting XI was named (1998/99) was the first season in which the percentage of English players used in the Premier League dropped below 50 per cent to 48.2 per cent.Julian Joachim playing for Aston Villa3
