Can not think of a back 4 but can think of a complete team that won a major European trophy.
Celtic won the European Cup in 1967 (Lisbon Lions),every single player was born within 30 miles of Celtic FC.(Non of them were good enough to play for Stenhousemuir)

Not sure about that, but to add to the discussion I think Stoke were the last side to produce a top flight team entirely from local lads.Anyone confirm this?
