    They all play/played for Manchester clubs.

    They're all catholics and play with a crucifix/kiss the pitch before the game??

    Got it! It's firsts....

    Javier Hernandez was the first Mexican to win the Premier League.
    Berbatov the first Bulgarian.
    Kompany the first Belgian and
    Mario Balotelli was the first ever Italian (amazingly)
