That shouldn't matter, the Liverpool of old played for pride & passion, self respect, with the ultimate aim of representing club & Country, most of the lads were Liverpool born & bred or if not from the City at least aspired to the ethos of Shankley & Paisley, Sadly there's far to many foreign influences within the game nowadays.
The influx of mercenary money orientated players/agents have destroyed the true meaning of a "Local" team. And while it may make for interesting ? Football, the pride & passion is missing in the big (money) leagues, that's why the likes of Stanley are far more worthwhile from a purely football point of view, okay they won't give the spectacle of big international games against the likes of Barca, Juve & Bayern, but what you get at the Crown is good honest to goodness, grass roots, warts & all Footy as it should be.
