first team to play under floodlights? might have been first league game or first friendly or something - got a vague memory of having read that. first team to have a heated stand - directors stand in early fifties first team to go belly up first town to have three separate league teams all of the same guise? first team to make the long road back from oblivion too many firsts its spooky!

Re: Who signed the first foreign player in british football?
A Canadian!!!!!! Yes, yes, yes. Probably got his start by kicking grizzly bears in the ass. Warning: do not try this at home; to be done only by trained professionals on hibernating bears with their false teeth out.
