I looked up Woodgate and sure enough, 8 England caps and he spent the whole of 2004-05 on Real Madrid's books with 0 appearances.

No caps whilst actually at Madrid though. Earned his 5th cap at Newcastle before leaving for Real Madrid, earned his 6th whilst on loan at Middlesbrough, and his 7th and 8th at Spurs.

I know, I wasn't disputing it, just found it incredible that he didn't make 10 caps.
When he was at Leeds, him and Rio were very much touted as England's future, with a lot of people rating Woodgate ahead of Ferdinand. He was a brilliant defender, injuries ruined him.

Years and clubs of the remaining players on my list:
1948-49 - Notts County
1956-57 - Coventry City
1959-60 - Hibernian
1962 - Crystal Palace
1962 - Inter Milan
1971 - QPR
1976 - Crystal Palace
1979-81 - West Ham United
1979 - Crystal Palace
There may be a few more not on my list, so a bonus point if you guess one of those that turns out to be right.
Which of those is the recent player?

I miscounted with Joe Hart being added. Added a line in where there wasn't one.
Fair enough.
Alvin Martin for the West Ham one. No clue on the others.

Stan Bowles for QPR
Earned his first cap in '74, the year after QPR were promoted.
Are any of the remaining players currently managers?
Not currently, although one has been in management for 30 years, and another was briefly a caretaker manager in the Premier League & Championship.

That Inter Milan one is G Hitchens (can't remember first name, maybe Geoff or Gary?), he was the first player to play for England whilst at a foreign club.
Ah, it's Gerry Hitchens. He died on the pitch of some charity game after he retired.

Some more clues for the final few:
1948-49 - Notts County - Moved for a British record transfer fee of £20,000, strong centre forward. 22 goals in 23 England caps, also played for Everton, Chelsea, Brentford and Arsenal.
1956-57 - Coventry City - Goalkeeper, who also played for Chelsea and Derby.
1959-60 - Hibernian - Striker who started career in Scotland. Also played briefly in Italy alongside Denis Law, before moving to Arsenal and then Nottingham Forest.
1962 - Crystal Palace - Striker who also played for West Ham. Famously scored a hat trick for England in a win over Portugal in the 60s.
1971 - QPR - Maverick forward who also played for Man City and Fulham. Worked as a pundit for many years.
1976 - Crystal Palace - Winger, better known for 30 years in management across all levels in England, including the national side.

This probably is daft as fuck so I apologize I was just trying to think of fellas who managed England.
niko_cee
12-03-2020, 06:18 PM
Terry Venables?
He definitely managed Palace (creating the Brighton rivalry), so I guess he probably played for them.
bruhnaldo

Roy Hodgson played for Palace or something didn't he? Was he ever actually any good as a footballer? '76 probably too late for him though.
Jimmy Floyd

The 1948 one is Tommy Lawton.

I've looked it up. He did manage England.
thommo
13-03-2020, 11:24 AM
The 1948 one is Tommy Lawton.
Not Keegan, Hodgson or Venables for the Palace player. I'll give it till the end of the day for anyone to get the remaining 4.
1956-57 - Coventry City - Goalkeeper, who also played for Chelsea and Derby.
1959-60 - Hibernian - Striker who started career in Scotland. Also played briefly in Italy alongside Denis Law, before moving to Arsenal and then Nottingham Forest.
1962 - Crystal Palace - Striker who also played for West Ham. Famously scored a hat trick for England in a win over Portugal in the 60s.

That surprises me. I never really saw Foe as a goalscorer.
Jimmy Floyd

Having looked up the 98 one (even that with great difficulty), my clue would be it's someone who is known neither for being African nor for having succeeded at all in the PL.

None of the above. The player is duel citizenship Ivorian/French if that helps, and is (apparently) a bit of a cult hero at the Premier League club he turned out for.
Shindig
16-03-2020, 02:56 PM
I had a list of African goalscorers just in front of me and nobody jumped out. French Ivorian doesn't help in the slightest. I was looking for the least African names.
There goes my theory then.
If you tell us who he played for, will that give it away?

Rodallega was also Colombian. Wanyana is the only Kenyan goalscorer, not sure if others have made appearances.
Only 14 goals for Okazaki but it puts him as the top Japanese goalscorer.

Milosevic is correct - the only one that was a little contentious as he was playing for Yugoslavia at the time. Mitrovic was second on the list anyway, with 25 goals, so you're right either way.
Edit: Actually, Milivojevic has 26 PL goals now so he'd be second, but close enough.

Antigua and Bernuda is bugging. If its not Blackstock its some other Uk born player. Chabolah? Cherno Samba?

Bertrand Traore is correct, the only PL goalscorer from Burkina Faso.
Ruel Fox
Polish player did he play for hull?
Iran is Dejagah or something. Fulham player
Fox was the answer for Montserrat and has been said already, but Dejagah is correct, 5 goals for Fulham.
Slovakia and Slovenia i get confused so ill guess skrtel, nemeth, zlotan gera,
Nemeth is the correct answer for Slovakia, with 23 PL goals.
Antigua - Mikele Leigertwood
Poland - that square headed bloke who played for Leicester. Wasilewski
Antigua and Bernuda is bugging. If its not Blackstock its some other Uk born player. Chabolah? Cherno Samba?
Jimmy gets the Antiguan, Leigertwood scored 2 goals. Wasilewski did score a PL goal, but is not the answer.
So that leaves just North Macedonia, Poland and Saint Kitts and Nevis to get.

Never played in the PL. There have only been 4 Macedonians to have played in the Prem, and only 1 has scored.
I can only think of keepers from Poland

Yeah Poland feels like it should be someone you've heard of. If it's a single goal merchant, has Juktiewicz (? - the Birmingham one) ever played/scored in the Premier League?
thommo
19-03-2020, 09:59 AM
Jutkiewicz has played 28 games in the Prem, but never scored. The top scorer from Poland only has 2 goals.
Shindig

I've put a list of Macedonians in front of me and the only name I recognise is Sasa Ilic. I don't think he's scored a wind-assisted goal kick.

The player you're thinking of did score in English football, but it was for West Brom in the Championship. The clubs each player has played for are as follows:
North Macedonia - Barnsley
Poland - Southampton
Saint Kitts and Nevis - Crystal Palace
SincereTheRebel
19-03-2020, 11:52 AM
If i didnt already know the answers. With the clue of palace, I would have said Peter Ndouvu* but i think he was from Zimbabwe
There's also the fact that he never played for Palace, but he fits perfectly otherwise.
Jutkiewicz has played 28 games in the Prem, but never scored. The top scorer from Poland only has 2 goals.
Bednarek?
thommo
19-03-2020, 12:20 PM
Bednarek?
Correct! One of only 3 Polish goalscorers in the Premier League.

Oh, Georgi Hristov for Macedonia. Think it was him who famously called all our women ugly.
The Merse
19-03-2020, 12:28 PM
The only St Kitts players I can think of are Kevin Francis and Adam Newton, the former surely didn't play in the Prem, so I'm guessing the latter might've got one in his few run outs for West Ham?
Edit - missed the Palace bit... Don't think either played for Palace. Leon McKenzie played for Jamaica I think... but maybe I got that wrong?
thommo

Correct, 4 goals in his single season in the Prem. Just one to get.

Neither of those, I'm afraid. The player I'm looking for also played for Millwall and Colchester.

Ended up looking him up and assume you mean Port Vale rather than Millwall (who he never played for). I remember him well from Palace and Vale, in fairness but would never have recalled him in this context.

If you mean Sagi Burton, he made 2 PL appearances but never scored. There is still another Kittitian who scored in the Prem.
Ah the name is on the top of my tongue. Was he a utility player?

Ah ok, took his goal for Palace as being in the Prem but that makes sense as I'm sure he only really got a game when they were in D1.

It's a little before my time, but he's described as a midfielder on every site I look at.
