On This Day – 4th July
I thought that I would do a slightly different article for today’s ‘On This Day’ article seeing as it’s 4th July.
I’d like to wish a happy Independence Day to all of the American readers of this blog.
I have listed below all of the American players to have featured in the Premier League since its inception back in 1992. Brad Friedel is probably the most well-known of the lot, having featured in a record 310 consecutive Premier League matches.
