You would think so about the English player keeping out the foreign player but the field of teams in the middle and bottom of the PL are just not that good. As for the 60's remember also that the great Brazil team of 1970 did not have one player that played in Europe neither did any other South American country. Even in Europe it was rare for top quality players to play outside of their own country's leagues. Completely different landscape today.
