Well he's played for 4 clubs who have all won the league. He just happened to play for them when they didn't win it. In fact, he was out on loan for the season when Arsenal won it. You got to admit that's a bit of bad luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And was at most of those clubs when they were looking at a lower standard of player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I flew with Etihad and City were off to China. He was with Mike Summerbee at their dedicated airport check-in next to ours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champers Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Next question. Which player made the most appearances in the Premier League in the 90s? A tough one, so a couple of clues to help. He played for 2 clubs, one a City club and one with a bird crest on their shirts. He was captain at one of the clubs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilai Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Gary McAllister in his pre LFC days although I think he captained both Coventry and Leeds so maybe not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeungKen Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 By my count, there have been appox 11 clubs in the Prem League with a bird on their crest (Even Swindon has a small one as well) And about 9 Clubs with City in their name. (Swansea Town became Swansea City). The permutations may take some time, Great question though. Scratches head and wanders off downstage right.

mrbojangles Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 I remember a question in a recent quiz of the top 3 all time PL appearances. The most ever was Gareth Barry, 2nd Ryan Giggs and 3rd Frank Lampard Ryan Giggs was obviously in the 90's but doesn't fit in with any of the clues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champers Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 I'll credit Wilai's answer as being in the right ballpark with regards to one of the clubs this player played for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

champers Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 The player was born in Wigan and co-incidentally his surname is the same as a small town in the borough. That is a killer clue. Who will be first on the trigger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
