So to be incredibly sad and pedantic
German Tribes came over to Britain en masse in the 4th and 5th centuries but probably many here since 100BCE
Norse have settled since 8th century
Danes since 9th century
Polish since 11th century
French since 11th century although probably many here since 5th
I`m English, a huge supporter of the SPL due to it being not so hyped as a Monday night 0-0 between Southampton and Burnley on Sky sports, I speak fluent Welsh having lived there, my partner is Lithuanian, and also love Dutch football, variety makes us interesting, personally I will back all the Home Nations and failing that i`ll cheer Germany or Denmark etc.
Not a fan of the English press or mentality, just a few days ago I saw a FB piece about Paul Gascoigne many remarking the greatest UK player ever and the best, matter of perspective. After a great WC he left Tottenham to join the Italian version of Tottenham, never regained the full form he showed post major injury or fitness. Played for a good Rangers side where Joselu could score 20+ a year but did nothing in Europe, then apart from a good goal at Euro 96 he hardly set the EPL alight. Bad lifestyle choices all the way and yet he`s remembered as a Footballing God and spoke through the media in high praise, all I see is a wasted career.
