I watched 12 minutes of it.

17.2% of players in National League North aren’t English.

They come from 35 different countries.

23.5% of players in the National League aren’t English.
They come from 53 different countries.

L2 = 30.2% none English.

L1 = 38.6% none English.

Championship = 51.2% none English.

Premier = 68.4% none English.

Don’t waste your time, money or effort with football.

If you want them to become a sport man concentrate on the solo events where they don’t have to rely on team mates.

Darts, Snooker, Golf, Tennis, Athletics, Cycling, Boxing, Swimming etc

They’d probably have the longest careers playing golf.

As parents, you’ll waste a small fortune ferrying little Johnny here, there and everywhere… with maybe a 0.1% chance that he’ll have a career out of the game.

The odds on your lad being a Beckham are probably 0.001% – of being a Messi or Ronaldo probably 0.0001%

The percentage of English players in the game will continue to decline.
