La influencia inglesa del Athletic

Blackburn, Southampton, Sunderland and the anglicism of Athletic Bilbao
Blackburn Rovers, Sunderland and Southampton can all lay claim to providing critical influence in the early stages of Athletic, but a torch for England will always be carried in Bilbao. Exemplified by their cantera policy of fielding only homegrown players, Athletic Bilbao are widely perceived as embodying the Basque nationalism once suppressed by dictators Miguel Primo de Rivera and Francisco Franco.
