List of Premier League players from Great Britain and Ireland
The Premier League is the top professional football league in England that was established in 1992. The league was a replacement for the First Division and was brought about by an increase in money in the English game. As a result, the league gradually began to attract foreign players to England, lowering the number of home-grown players who were playing matches for English clubs. However a large number of players from England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland have played matches in the Premier League.
