Thought you would have forgot that one

Man city were beating Luton (amazingly) 6 v 2 and the ref abondoned the match with 20 mins to go . Denis Law scored all six.
The FA Cup tie was declared null and void and they played again at Kenilworth Road. This time the match went true to form and Luton won 3v1
Man City's goal was scored by Denis Law.

5 MANCHESTER CITY AGAINST LEICESTER 69 sure they were all english players

That is definitely one of them Dodge, sorry I mean Joff

1 could be Matthew Etherington  Stoke

Thought you would get that one, 1999.
Not just the team but the whole squad were all English

13 Robin van Persie, Niall Quinn,not sure if Anelka did Tony Adams did score a own Goal

Van Persie, Quinn and Anelka are three, one to find.
Own goals don't count; Eduardo did do it in the Champions League but that don't count either.

Accept a yellow card for not reading the question properly

15 Bryan Robson maybe.
