Can you name the first all-foreign Premier League starting XI from 1999?

Quizzes
Gianluca Vialli is unveiled as the new Chelsea manager in 1998.

On Boxing Day 1999, Chelsea became the first team in Premier League history to name a starting XI consisting solely of foreign players – but how many of the 11 can you remember?

The team was made up of players from nine different nations, none of them England, as Gianluca Vialli’s Chelsea ran out 2-1 victors at Southampton. The Premier League would never be the same again…

Think you can name the whole team? It’s a tough ask, but we reckon you’re up to it.

If you’re after another challenge after this, why not try and name every player Chelsea signed in the 2022-23 season?
