The Mexicans entered the competition with that Jared Borgetti in 2005, few Aztec players could participate in this symbolic date. In fact, have only appeared in eight games of the last 15 and that’s thanks to players like Javier Hernandez, who had the most duels on this date.
From then on, of the 10 Mexicans who were in the Eredivisie in these 15 years, only five of them could be considered at the time to play on December 26th, date on which English league games are scheduled.

They have been added Pablo Barrera at its stage in the West Ham, like Carlos candle, who played games in December 2008 and 2009 with Arsenal but none in the Boxing Day.
