Followed Chelsea and Arsenal in the Euros last night. I think each had only 1 homegrown player starting and 1 on the bench. Looking at the typical starting lineups, we have: And heck, I'll throw in MacArthur - even though I don't think he counts. Plus our bench (Hennessey, Ward, Dann, Kelly, Wickham, Schlupp) is almost all homegrown. I wonder which teams have the most / least in their average starting lineups? Seems like Tottenham and Man City, even Liverpool and Man U have a few more than Arsenal & Chelsea.

We were the last team to field an all English team in the FA Cup Final, which is a fact we can be proud of

Pretty sure PVA counts as Homegrown in the rules of the game as you have to be at a club for 3 years before 21 to be counted. He was at Chelsea for that period I think.
