Credit to @danovic78 for this one.

 Did you hear the one about the Englishman, Scotsman and Welshman?

June...1984.....Barcelona

Diego Maradona, one of the greatest players to play the game is deemed surplus to requirements at the Camp Nou and is sold to Napoli for £6.9m. Who would replace the him, several names are mentioned Rudi Völler, Hugo Sánchez also a possible a return for Austrian star Hans Krankl. Step forward a 27 year old Scottish International called Steve Archibald, he was signed from Spurs for £1.25m.

July 1986....

Terry “El Tel” Venables is going into his third season as manager at the Camp Nou, he has just failed to lift the European Cup a few months early losing on penalties to Steaua Bucherest. Needing some more fire power he looked again to the UK to provide the striking power he needed and signed Mark Hughes from Manchester United for £2m and Gary Lineker, fresh from his Golden Boot in the World Cup for £2.8m from Everton.

With the addition of Hughes and Lineker alongside Steve Archibald, Venables had an all UK front three. Due to two foreign player rule all three could not play at once but now you can pick up that challenge...
