When people scream about the Premier League being the super elite best in the world, this list of players we're concocting really is a reminder of a gentler time.
Kevin Lisbie

Graham Stuart for the Charlton one. Although I remember him more as an Everton player.

wullie is the hero there getting Peter Atherton. I've genuinely never heard of him.
Actually, of course I have.
Totally forgot he existed, though.
I was struggling to place him too.
*prepares to aim at the low-hanging fruit of the next question*
I love 90s questions. I was so into football at that age. I used to read 3 weekly magazines (Match, Shoot & 90 minutes) and collect the stickers every year.
Match and Shoot were brilliant.
The closest thing I have to an heirloom is my completed Italia 90 sticker album. It'll be in the tomb with me.
I once got Letter of the Week in Shoot for saying David Beckham should move abroad. I can't have been more than 11, so it must have been 1999. Such vision.
Here's one for you:
There are eight groups of three players, each has a clue for one of the group. There is a unifying theme that will allow you to work out the rest.

If you get all the players without working out the theme I'll fill some more in.
Retired from playing in 2011 and then again in 2013. - Scholes
Denilson for the Brazil man with 61 caps and last goal in Vietnam. Ronaldo (both to be safe), Messi and Owen for the FIFA wpoty. If we're going before our times might be Pele too.
Crespo for the six Italian teams and 154 goals.
Four correct.

Defender who, in the 2000's won, two La Liga titles and the World Cup in the space of two seasons. - Pique or Puyol
Roberto Carlos for the World Cup and La Liga titles.
Nope.
Edmilson for the same as Carlos.
Giggs, Totti, Rivaldo and Pele for the 25 years and a ton of goals.
Totti with the 25 year career.
Zero idea on the theme except that they all seem to be from a similar turn-of-the-century, 2002 World Cup sort of era.
Totti correct.

Ginger trio?
Scholes, Sidwell and Kitson.
All English too, LINK.
Zidane the player and manager winning Liga titles.
The groupings are part of the theme and because of the nature of the theme they're all going to be from a roughly similar era.
Oh shit, hang on.
Let me guess, is one of them Seol Ki-Hyeon?
I think you might have it.
Blinding.
A little less conversation and a little more action please
Superb question 👍
What am I missing? I don't get the Seol Ki-Hyeon link...
It's a groovy night and I can show you how to use it, now come along with me and put your mind at ease.
My brain had (thankfully) completely removed that advert from my memory bank.
Very nice.
I did post the theme, but im not sure if this trivia is actually finished.
That's a cracker.
I think it's also the only Nike marketing to involve a former Barnet manager but not 100% on that. Not really about to update this until later, feel free to move onto another question if someone has one, or you can keep going and I'll be back this evening.
A crying shame that 'Mad Dog' Martin Allen hasn't yet doubled their number.
