Praet also for Leicester
Praet also for Leicester
Can't believe I forgot Januzaj.
Belgium having not won something/everything with their current squad really is unforgivable. They're probably past their peak now, but what a team.
Erik Pieters
Jelle van Damme
Daniel van Buyton
Praet is correct, but has already been said.Originally Posted by SvN
Pieters has scored, but isn't Belgian. van Buyten didn't manage a goal in his short loan spell.
That Luc Nilis injury still annoys me nearly 20 years later. He was such a player.
Bjorn Engels
Up there with the worst I've seen
Toggle Spoiler
It's like his leg is hugging. Awww.
I didn't even mean Jelle van Damme. Brain is mush. What I really meant was Anthony vanden Borre.
Marc Degryse
Gilles de Bilde
Genuinely awful injury. I'm sure that picture was splashed all over the back pages the next day.
Good job you said van Damme, as vanden Borre didn't manage a goal for Portsmouth.

Laurent Delorge. Could be wrong name but I'm looking for a big ugly giant at Huddersfield.
Name sounds more Coventry now I've typed it out.
Thomas Vermaelen got one for us for sure.
Yeh he was at Cov in the 90s and was a flighty (shit) winger. There is a monster at 'uddersfield as well but I'm stuck remembering his name.
One of the Mpenzas ended up knocking in a few for Man City as well. Emile?
You're thinking of that French lump Huddersfield had, who's name also escapes me. Depoitre?
More than just one - 13 PL goals for Vermaelen.
You all got there in the end, 6 goals for Depoitre, including a winning goal against United in their first season up.
Emile is correct, but has already been said. Just 5 left to get.
Horrific. Double compound, I think.Up there with the worst I've seen

And Thommo, yeah, that photo was everywhere. On the bright side (not for Nilis), no injury, probably no Juan Pablo.
Leander Dedonkcer
Edit - already been said, missed it in the list.
Kevin Mirallas
Correct, he was the missing man with 29 goals.
Just 4 Belgians left to get, and here are the clubs they scored for:
15 - (Derby County)
4 - (Watford)
2 - (Swansea City)
1 - (Huddersfield Town)
I'm disappointed no one has already got the Belgian on 15 PL goals.
I know the guy. Big fucking lump circa 2000.
Kabasele
Branko Strupar!
I hadn't realised Kabasele had been at Watford for 4 seasons now.
Correct!
Having just Googled it, the Huddersfield Town Belgian remaining is seriously hard to get.
Fucking hell.
That's a proper example of a name I would never have remembered again unprompted and yet as soon as I saw it, "Shit, yeah! Strupar!"
He is pretty obscure, but his only goal did come last season in a draw with Manchester United, so he might be in the back of somebody's mind.
I had high hopes for Delorge but he didn't even get a game in the PL for us, he was such a crock it took over two years for him to make a league debut by which point we'd gone down.
Roland Lamah for Swansea. He's shit, but like Montero, Dyer and the various other fast wingers that seemed to clutter up the Liberty in those years, he had one game a season where we was devastating.
As my best mate of that time (now ex-communicated), was a Cov fan, I share the inflated view of the talent all of these lot had. The hope that would spill out of him whenever they brought in the likes of Aloisi has totally tainted my view of that era of Cov players, to the extent that I have no idea how they weren't comfortably making the top 6 throughout the late 90s.
Also met Hadji and Chippo a few times as they were both (despite being married) carrying on with a lass I knew. Seemed alright.

Once upon a time I'd have stored that fella's name in my memory for having the cheek to deny us points but now I honestly couldn't have told you I'd ever seen his name, though I presumably have.
Next up - Denmark. There have also been 35 Danish players to have scored in the Premier League. Name them all.
Mikkel Beck
John Jensen
Peter Schmeichel
Daniel Agger
Brian Laudrup
Dennis Rommedahl
John Dahl Tomasson
Christian Eriksen
Nicklas Bendtner
Only one European goal for Laudrup at Chelsea.Mikkel Beck
John Jensen
Peter Schmeichel
Daniel Agger
Brian Laudrup
Dennis Rommedahl
John Dahl Tomasson
Christian Eriksen
Nicklas Bendtner
Gronkjaer.
I'd also forgotten about Brian Laudrup being at Chelsea.
7 goals for Gronkjaer.
There's a fair few obscure names on this list, so I'm not expecting them all to be guessed.
Stig Tofting
Aloisi was an odd one, we signed him while he was scoring for fun for Portsmouth and then immediately just left him on the bench, we did the same when we bought Mo Konjic from Champions League-level Monaco. The Gordon Strachan era was mostly ridiculous with the odd bit of sublime.
Claus Jensen
Martin Braithwaite
Thomas Gravesen
Poulson
Martin Laursen
Matias Jorgensen
Marcus Allback
Victor Fischer
Peter Lovenkrands.
