county

sounds a trick question to me,got me stumped though

MrJoeSoap

It's not a trick question, but you may very well be surprised at the answer.

It's not Steve Galliers.

i though the dons myself but were english clubs banned from europe when they won the FA cup

Roddy23

this is a tough one alright -is it a Newcastle player?


Andy Cole?
Peter`Beardsley?

MrJoeSoap

Not Cole or Beardsley, I'm not giving away the club.

YeatsCounty

I can't think of a player who would fit that role, but Fulham could be the club that this person plays for. They were in the old Division 3 in the late 1990's and they won the Intertoto Cup in 2002.

Nope, I'm heading out for a game of Astro now, I'll answer any more guesses when I get back if they haven't been answered already!

county

no stuck big time

MrJoeSoap

Bit of a clue so...

He still plays in the Premiership

county

MrJoeSoap

No. Most of my mates who I've asked this question to have asked that too!

If you want the answer I can PM you it.

I was going to say John McGinlay, but the spoiler i think puts pay to that + i dont know if he played in europe either, lol

PHB

It must be a Fulham player since they are the only club to have played in all 4 divisions of English football.
They won the InterToto in 2002 so it must have been there too.

So my guess is:
Chris Coleman?

county

pm please put me out of my misery

MrJoeSoap

Chris Coleman?

Nope.

PHB

So I guess it's somebody retired, in which case I've got absolutely no idea

At least i've helped towards the general knowledge. It was a Fulham player so, people use your memories

Hobart

Could it be an ex-swansea player?

Pigman II

Sean Davis? I know he's played all four div's with Fulham. Don't know about Europe tho? Perhaps a trick question and you're refering to the Intertoto or Anglo-Italian cup or something.

Pighead

Pighead wonders was Steve Finnan with Fulham for all 3 of their promotions?

Correct! He played in the UEFA Cup after they won the Intertoto.

Pigman II's turn to challenge us

Pigman II

Steve Staunton, Mark Kinsella, Shay Given and Charley Hurley hold the record at Aston Villa, Charlton, Newcastle and Sunderland respectively

But the question is "record for what?"

Roddy23

most consecutive appearances

MrJoeSoap

Not sure how to phrase it but are they all the Irish players with the most appearances for the club?

Pigman II

(If I understand you?) that could well be true Joe, but that's not what I'm looking for. Plus that doesn't distinguish their achievement as every club probably has "some Irish guy" who holds "record appearance by an Irish guy" at that club Alternatively if you mean "most appearances in total for a club by any player" then I'd doubt any of those four fit the bill (Staunton doesn't anyway, just from a quick check)?

Anyway, the common record these guys hold is irrespective of them being Irish (kind of). I just picked 4 Irish examples for fun.

To make it easier (and to demonstrate its not just an Irish thing) I'll throw in another few to that list. Henning Berg at Blackburn, Mark Fish at Bolton.

What record for their respective clubs do these 6 examples have?

_blank_

First player from their country to play for the club?

Pigman II

No.

Just from my own memory John Anderson played for Newcastle long before Given (and even he probably wasn't the first Irish guy to do so either?).

Just to clarify. A player doesn't need to be Irish to hold this record at their club BUT since it IS a record of some kind there can naturally be only one at each club (unless of course in the unusual case of a 'joint record' I suppose).

Keep trying.

Rikand

They were top of consecutive league appearances for their club for given seasons ? *clutches at straws*...or top of consecutive minutes played for their clubs...

Given has to have been
Hurley definately has to have been

mikelmessi

Do they all hold the record for the most international appearances for their respective clubs?

Pigman II

Mikelmessi got the answer.

Basically each player mentioned won more international caps for their country whilst signed to that particular club than that anyone else (eg Staunton won 64 whilst an Aston Villa player)

Over to you Mikelmessi.....

mikelmessi

Right so...

Four English players have been transferred for over 7 million pounds and have not played for England.

It's a single transfer fee I'm talking about, not cumulative amounts over the years.

And Theo Walcott doesn't count as his transfer is built in installments, the initial fee is "only" five million.

Got this from a mate..we came up with four but there may be more.

MrJoeSoap

Kevin Davies is the only one that springs to my mind right away.

Dean Richards is definitely one - Soton to Spurs.

Not sure about these three:

Kevin Davies - Soton to Blackburn.
Dean Ashton - Crewe to West Ham
Carl Cort - Wimbledon to Newcastle

Is that the four?

mikelmessi

Damn that was quick.

Lemlin- you got the lot.

Over to you.

Rikand

Come on Lemlin more quizzage

Mossin

Gonna post a question just for the sake of keeping the thread moving.

Name a Premiership player who has scored in the English League Cup Final, Uefa Champions League Final, and the Uefa Cup Final?

Easy enough question but unsure if there is more than one, but I cant think of two.

Jivin Turkey

Steven Gerrard

V Manchester United
V Alaves
V Milan

Mossin

yeah correct jivin turkey.
told ya was an easy qn.

mchurl

new question??

Necronomicon

Thought of one today while having a conversation with someone. It's pretty easy, but really don't know if it's correct.
Only player to win the Premiership with two clubs?

Henning Berg? Blackburn/United? I just don't know if he was at Blackburn when they won it. Couldn't think of any others.

blu_sonic

why give the answer too? lol David Batty won the League at Leed and Blackburn (but it was still D1 Then) what about Brian May?

Who's The Most Prem Apperances! - Easy

Pigman II

I think you mean David May. Brian May is the poodleheaded lead guitar player for Queen.
