The Athletic's Adam Hurrey, Nick Miller and James Horncastle present a brief history of foreign players in the Premier League, from the flops to the superstars. 

They look back at some of the more naive unveilings of exotic new signings - including Paolo Di Canio and a frozen pizza - the traditional challenges faced by Premier League imports and, once and for all, get to the bottom of the concept of "the English premium"
