Majority were Hong Kongers... seem to have added 3x Brazilians (couple more naturalised and represented Hong Kong national team), 1x Nigerian, and McKeown who was English.

Hadn't appreciated this was also Vogts opening win as Scotland manager. He now must wait until that autumn... 2-2 in Faroes to avoid defeat, and 2-0 in Iceland for opening win.


Hong Kong League XI were a fairly well-established team.

It contested inter-city series with Guandong and Shanghai, and an annual Chinese New Year invitational tournament against full national teams from Europe and South America.


Tommy Hutchison spent a season in Hong Kong with Bulova Watches during early 1980s.

EDIT: Of course it was night-on-the-town antics following a Euro 96 pre-tournament friendly v Hong Kong XI which inspired Gazza's "Dentist Chair" pastiche.
