[Jimmy Floyd]

Drog Bar (thanks Motty) - 24

19. Sheringham - Man Utd, Spurs, West Ham

Edit- oh. Maybe 17 then. He may have only played for WH in the Championship.

[Disco]

He has more clubs and more goals than that.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Ian Wright for Arsenal and West Ham, but I'm not sure how many he bagged/notched/struck/fired home before football began in 1992 so dunno the position. Probably the 113, on balance.

[Spammer]

I'm gonna take a punt and say Ian Wright, with Arsenal and West Ham.

He might not have made it as he scored a few before the PL, but we'll see.

[Jimmy Floyd]

No one seems to have said Thierry Onree for number five.

Eddie Lewis (I've got a feeling I might have made that up)

[Danny]

Did Tim Ream every get a game on the prem?

[Jimmy Floyd]

Michael Bradley
Eddie Lewis (I've got a feeling I might have made that up)

Both correct - Eddie Lewis a left footed dynamo for Fulham and Derby (I may have made that up myself)

Did Tim Ream every get a game on the prem?

He did. 11 to go.

[Danny]

Eddie Johnson?

[Max Power]

Who was the guy who signed for United, never played and ended up winning the Champions League with Dortmund?

[Disco]

We must be down to a load of no marks who played three games for Derby in 1998.

[John Arne]

DeShaun Tyrone Williams II

Paul Rachubka?

[Max Power]

Maurice Edu?

[Jimmy Floyd]

1. midfielder - had a more notable spell in Scotland
2. lengthy spell with one club - still playing in MLS
3. total nonentity from the turn of the century
4. the only current PL player remaining on the list
5. lump, better known for his national team efforts
6. mid-90s goalkeeper
7. disappointing midlands midfield man
8. apparently grew up at United though you could have fooled me
9. played 5 PL minutes and I've never heard of him
10. I have heard of this guy but I think he played in the PL under a different name

[Danny]

Does Paul Rachubka count or didn't he play for them in then? Same for Rossi but certainly chose Italy instead

[Jimmy Floyd]

Maurice Edu is 1.

[Disco]

DeShaun Tyrone Williams II

:D

[Jimmy Floyd]

Does Paul Rachubka count or didn't he play for them in then? Same for Rossi but certainly chose Italy instead

Not on the list I have.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Who was the guy who signed for United, never played and ended up winning the Champions League with Dortmund?

I'll give you this - Jovan Kirovski (8)

[7om]

Jovan Kirovski. Loved him down the Blues.

Oh fuck you , Jimmy.

[7om]

We also had a kid at Birmingham called Will Packwood. Not sure if he actually managed to play for the United States though.

[Danny]

Did we get Onyewu?

[Jimmy Floyd]

Did we get Onyewu?

Not until now. He was 5. 7 left

2. lengthy spell with one club - still playing in MLS

Never let it be said that I don't remember a load of useless bullshit from the 90's.

[Max Power]

Kid at Sunderland. Gooch.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Gooch correct.

2. lengthy spell with Reading - still playing in MLS
3. total nonentity from the turn of the century at West Ham
7. disappointing midlands midfield man for one season at Derby
9. played 5 PL minutes and I've never heard of him and he sounds like a really racist blend of all your least favourite South Africans, although in reality he's black
10. I have heard of this guy but I think he played in the PL under a different name which was fucking long and presumably the yanks couldn't deal with it so they gave him a much shorter one

[John Arne]

Marcus Hanneman

[Max Power]

10 is Preki.

Derby guy has a German sounding name I'm sure. Dunno though

[Jimmy Floyd]

He does. Played under Billy 'straight as a die' Davies.

[CJay]

Reading player is Bobby Convey.

[SvN]

Someone answer the last few so we can move on.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Last three are Ian Feuer, Benny Feilhaber and Johann Smith. Memories.

Who are the most expensive footballers of all time for each age, from 14 to 37?

The most expensive 40 year old is Bogdan Stellea who moved from Unirea Urziceni to FC Brasov for £80,000 in 2005 and 38 is Marko Simeunovic's £765k move to NK Interblock Ljubljana. I thought I'd taken those out of the equation. Wafflez might get 39 if he's not busy seshing.

[Weaver]

I think the 32 year old is Shay Given - he left us for Man City and he's about 40 now, so SVN's shout about it being when they first got cash would be right too.

[-james-]

Shay Given it is.

[SvN]

18 must be Shaw

[SvN]

20 must be easy, there can't be many that young that have transferred for £50m+.

[Disco]

Sterling?

[Disco]

Let's have Bale in there too, 24 or 25.

[Disco]

15 will be that Spanish lad that lasted about half an hour.

[phonics]

I'm amazed no-ones got the 30 year old yet.

[-james-]

25 is recent and 24 is some Welsh bloke.

[Disco]

Etoo for the Inter one?

[phonics]

Nope

[Disco]

Zlatan?

[phonics]

You're somehow getting further away.

[-james-]

How curious. My source has it as Eto'o, looked up the football365 one and it agrees for every other age, but has a different inter player for 30. Both similar price tags.

[Disco]

Who else have they sold for that much? I can only think of Balotelli and Kovacic but they;re both far too young. Is it going to be Dino Baggio form 1998 as part of a money laundering effort?

[-james-]

Think very briefly rich Russian team.

[-james-]

Hang on, you got that one.


Think Champions League final scorer.

[-james-]

Hang on once more. Inter signing, not sale. I blame phonics.

[Disco]

:D For fucks sake

[Danny]

24 Bale
25 De Bruyne
30 Crespo

[Pen]

Milito for the Inter signing.

[Disco]

Oscar to China?

[CJay]

Fran Merida is the Arsenal player.

[Disco]

That's the chap, they like them young in that North London they do. Have any of them worked? Walcott I suppose.

[niko_cee]

Fabregas?

[Jimmy Floyd]

This player has done the following:

1. Played at two World Cups
2. Gone to a World Cup, and won the continental championship (i.e. Euros, Copa America, Afcon etc)
3. Gone to a World Cup
4. Played in the continental championship
5. Played at an Olympic Games

Each of the above numbers has taken place on a different continent.

He's also played in the Premier League.

Who is the player?

[John Arne]

Almost Dunga.... but he played in 3 World Cups.... I'm guessing they managed in South America or Europe?

[wullie]

Tim Cahill?

[Jimmy Floyd]

Tim Cahill hasn't been to enough World Cups and the continents don't quite stack up, but it's a decent guess.

[wullie]

The continental championship being played on two separate continents seems the biggest thing, but then saying played for some and gone to others has thrown me off.

[Max Power]

Rafael Marquez?

[Offshore Toon]

Marquez. :drool:

[-james-]

The third clue must mean he played at the South Africa world cup.

[Max Power]

Hasn't played in the premier league has he ffs.

This is hard

[-james-]

Hierro?

[-james-]

Nah, no Africa there is there.

[Max Power]

Yakubu?

[-james-]

1. world cups 98 and 06
2. 02 world cup and AFC cup winner with Australia last year
3. '10 world cup
4. OFC runner up with Australia?
5. Brazil Olympics

Mark Bresciano?


Unless it's someone who's been to the gold cup, a copa America and the 2000 olympics that's my best guess.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I'll check Mark Bresciano but it's not the player I have in mind.

Everything on the list is as a player, btw.

EDIT: Bresciano not played PL for a start.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I should also say you're not a million miles away with the logical process.

[wullie]

I've had it pegged as either an Australian or American, but if it is I can't think of anyone who fits the bill completely.

[Jimmy Floyd]

It's not an Australian or an American.

A clue: one of the World Cups was in his home country.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Actually I made a slight bork. He hasn't played in the Premier League, but he has played in the Championship.

[wullie]

Kawaguchi?

[Jimmy Floyd]

Bingo.

98 and 06 World Cups in Europe
02 World Cup in Japan (didn't play) and Asian Cup winner 2004
10 World Cup in South Africa (didn't play)
1999 Copa America in Paraguay
Atlanta Olympics

And an ill fated stint with Portsmouth which I seem to have misremembered as being in the top flight.

[-james-]

Not a chance I was getting that. :moop:

[SvN]

Same. I hate it when I spend ages trying to figure one out only to find out that I'd have never got it in a million years.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I thought more people would know him, or at least clock the Japan/Copa America thing and get it from there.

[wullie]

It was the home nation World Cup clue that made the lightbulb go off for me, it left just Japan and South Korea as options.

[Disco]

Here's one for Jimmy, which six players have scored Premier League hat-tricks against Chelsea?

[Jimmy Floyd]

Kanu has scored his six times in my nightmares.

Can't think of any others at the moment, Tevez?

[SvN]

Aguero got one last year

[Guybrush]

Patrik Berger.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Oh, don't tell me, Steven Naismith.

[Disco]

1:
2: Berger
3: Kanu
4:
5: Naismith
6: Aguero

[Reg]

Viduka? I don't know why I think that.

[niko_cee]

Did Fowler get one when we bummed them 5-1 (back when there was an amicable arrangement for neither side to bother at the opponent's ground)?

[Disco]

Both wrong.

1: Did it in a similar colour shirt to no.6
2: Berger
3: Kanu
4: Scored his for the same club as another player on the list
5: Naismith
6: Aguero

They also appear to be in date order too but I'm not 100% on that.

[SvN]

1 - Coventry player - Ndlovu/Huckerby/Dublin
4 - Van Persie

[Jimmy Floyd]

Oh yeah, Dublin in that game when we had to borrow their kit.

[Pen]

I'm not sure I understand the question correctly, but is it Deschamps?

Won the things listed with France, played for Chelsea briefly and has since gone to a World cup as a manager?

edit: New page and all. Didn't get the question right anyway.

[SvN]

Get with the program, MATE

[wullie]

The Dublin hat-trick was the first game of whichever season, I remember it was the hottest day in history and I burned my legs on the seat, but on the upside I saw myself on the highlights on telly.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Desailly's debut. We were tipped as league winners for some unknown reason.

[wullie]

The main reason I wanted to go was to see either Gullit or Vialli in person, and whichever one it was didn't even come off the bench. Load of arse.

[Disco]

1 - Coventry player - Ndlovu/Huckerby/Dublin
4 - Van Persie

Both correct.

[SvN]

Didn't Dublin get a hat trick for Villa on the first game of the season at some point?

[Jimmy Floyd]

He got a hat-trick on his first or second game for Villa I reckon, but he transferred mid season.

I can remember that based on vague memories of schoolyard chatter at the age of 10-11 but I can't remember what happened last week.

[SvN]

He scored 9 goals in 4 games or something mental when he first went there. I always liked Dublin for some reason. I sat next to him on a train once, too. But totally bottled it and pretended I didn't know who he was.

[Disco]

Staying on the subject of hat-tricks, 34 players have scored three or more since football was invented in 1992, the numbers below correspond to how many each player got.

Do you want the numbers as well, or just the player name?

[wullie]

Dublin got at least two for us, so he's on there.

[-james-]

Lukaku must have three by now.

Berbatov scored one whenever he turned up or was playing Wigan it felt like, must have got three or four.

Schurrle got a disproportionate amount of them I'm sure.

[Offshore Toon]

He scored 9 goals in 4 games or something mental when he first went there. I always liked Dublin for some reason. I sat next to him on a train once, too. But totally bottled it and pretended I didn't know who he was.
Perfect opportunity to ask him how The Dube is coming along.

No to both.


Two are retired and would have scored theirs in the 90's.

The other scored for four different PL sides but currently plays elsewhere in Europe. He got his hat-tricks for his first British club, two of them against the same team in successive years. This one was Pens cheeky edit

Shamelessly stolen from DM so don't cheat ;)

Name the player who has scored the most premier league goals for the 20 clubs currently in the top flight and name the player who is at the club right now and nearest to it. If the current top scorer is at the club then who is next after them.

Example:
Alan Shearer has 148 league goals for Newcatle and is their premier league top scorer. Of the players currently at the club Perez would be next with 13 goals.
