Was writing a piece on Daniel Storey's Gazza In Italy book. Had a look at the top scorers in England and Italy in 1992/93:

Premier League - Sheringham, Ferdinand, Holdsworth, Quinn, Shearer, White, Armstrong, Cantona, Deane, Hughes, Le Tissier, Robins and Wright.

Serie A - Giuseppe Signori, Roberto Baggio, Abel Balbo, Ruben Sosa, Gabriel Batistuta, Daniel Fonseca, Roberto Mancini, Maurizio Ganz, Jean-Pierre Papin, Florin Raducioiu, Marco Van Basten and Gianfranco Zola.

Different world. Italy still had the foreigner rule too. That helped spread the quality but imagine how many more star names would have been there without it.

That's not bad considering English football began in 1992.
