Wrong. Statto doesn't have Paul McGrath in his answers so it's at least 8.
Lily White
Clive Wilson
Paul Allen. Pretty sure the Premier league started before he finished top flight football.
Arse cakes, really should read the question properly first. Scrap that answer

I love how you thought it included English players and said Paul Allen and not living legends like Pauls Gascoigne, Scholes, Konchesky etc.
McGrath is British - Statto asked for foreign

He is British as he was born in Ealing. He is also Irish.

Which asks the question why include Paul Ifill and exclude Paul McGrath. Either both are foreign because they played international football for non-UK teams or both are British because they were born British. Picking one and not the other seems arbitrary.

Ireland is a British & Irish Isles country so as such, players don't qualify as Foreign.
The unique nature of the historical, political and cultural connections of Ireland to the United Kingdom (of which it was a part until the early 1920s) make it a special case, although today, Ireland is a sovereign independent country.

The Republic is a foreign country
adjective
1 of, from, in, or characteristic of a country or language other than one's own: foreign currency | a man with a foreign accent.
• dealing with or relating to other countries: foreign policy.
• of or belonging to another district or area: a visit to a foreign clan.
• coming or introduced from outside: the quotation is a foreign element imported into the work.
2 strange and unfamiliar: I suppose this all feels pretty foreign to you.
• (foreign to) not belonging to or characteristic of: crime and brutality are foreign to our nature.
I appreciate it's a special case but the same arguments could also be applied to any country of the Commonwealth. If proximity is the issue then we'll have France as well as that was under the Crowns rule in the 15th century.

To the best of my knowledge, France was never part of the United Kingdom.
