[Jimmy Floyd]

Swedish defender at Real Madrid is really drawing a blank, bang on my era as well.

Oh Ivorian in France is that budget left sided bloke who used to be backup to Arthur Boka. Struggling for a name here.

[SvN]

Hellstrom must be the GK in Germany.

[Kikó]

Paul Lambert for Scotland in Germany.

[Pen]

I'll test the waters for the Madrid Swede with Erik Edman.

Real madrid are not on the only team in spain that have Real in their name

Hellstrom must be the GK in Germany.

Paul Lambert for Scotland in Germany.

Lambert is wrong.

I'll test the waters for the Madrid Swede with Erik Edman.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Kanga Akalé, thank you and goodnight.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Spanish in Italy, I'm sure there was an old Spanish guy called Luiz Suarez.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Arteta is the only one I can think of who played for PSG in the early 00's.

Doubt the rest of the clue fits him though.

[Pen]

Real madrid are not on the only team in spain that have Real in their name.

It's a bit like referring to United in England though. Most people will assume you're talking about Manchester United. Unless of course there's a context to another United.

Wouldn't have got any of those, so glad I stopped when I did.

Does that mean there's never been a Welsh player in France?!

[Jimmy Floyd]

Christian Manfredini. Golly gosh.

[SincereTheRebel]

Wouldn't have got any of those, so glad I stopped when I did.

Does that mean there's never been a Welsh player in France?!

I dont think so but im not 100% sure.

[SvN]

Anyway, that was another beauty Sincere. Let's have the next one.

[Disco]

I remember watching Manfredini for Chievo when they had that crazy season, I should have got that.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I might have remembered the player 1 time in 40, but even then I thought he was Italian from the name.

[SincereTheRebel]

Most premier league appearances WITHOUT being capped at international level. Ive got 20 names here. This is for the premier league era only but if you mention someone who played before 1992 and after, ill count them as correct.

[SvN]

Steve Bruce must be up there

[SvN]

Nigel Reo-Coker was the one who was "most expensive not international" for years, so him.
