Did he really play for them?
- Thread starter R.N7
- Start date
- Shay Given played for Middlesborough on loan in 2013-14
- Mart Poom played for Arsenal
- David Seaman, Michael Tarnat, Roque Santa Cruz, Jerome Boateng have all played for Man City
- Alexander Buttner for Man United
- Jan Kromkamp for Liverpool
Newcastle went from being a vibrant attacking side under Keegan to having a side containing Stuart Pearce, Ian Rush and John Barnes, all close to 40, when Dalglish came in. All 3 of them seemed out of place in Newcastle shirts.
Who the feck are these guys?From the same time period
Perica Ognejnovic, Elvir Bolic and Rambo
Yugo's brightest prospects
. Misspelled its Balic not Bolic. He came from Fenerbahce for 26mio back in the late 90s 
similarly bad as Perica who was supposed to be the next big thing from Crvena Zvezda - apparently they had to ditch the then 17 year old Eto'o so they could sign him. Petkovic just wasn't ment to play in Europe. Went to Brazil and become some sort of a cult hero for Flamengo - Can read more about him here Frank Stapleton at Ajax
Hierro for Bolton
Fergie at Rangers. Can't get my head round him not being a manager.
Half a cup game I think it was , I was there, he played pretty well and Ron Atkinson too him off.
David Platt for Man United
Dennis Irwin for Wolves
Dennis Irwin for Wolves
Mark Hughes for Bayern and Barca
Pirlo at Brescia supplied Baggio with one of my favourite long passes ever against Juve for that goal.
Psycho at Cov
Loved the little Brazilian. Reminds me of the emotional connection Zola and Herrera had/has with their fans.
Never knew Rod Stewart played pro football.
(Who is it?)
, He is Coentrao, Madrid left back

Did anyone say Edwin van der Sar at Fulham?
World Class keeper at a lower-mid PL team, nowhere near past his prime either. Maybe the equivalent of Cech playing for Crystal Palace in todays football. Except Edwin was even better.

As someone from Teesside I can say Juninho is pretty much God here. I somehow got dragged to Boro-Hull last week (pity me) and there were still Juninho chants going on

David Ginola - PSG
Weird you´d put Ginola with PSG in this thread. That´s where he made his name in France and internationally. Most people outside of England would totally associate him with the Parisian side.David Ginola - PSG
Not sure if posted... but Pep at Brescia
Helder at Arsenal
Diomede for Liverpool
Petkovic was immense for Flamengo. It was weird seeing Brazilians drooling over a player from the Balkans. He was rated almost as their best player since Zico despite a certain Adriano being in the same team.Yugo's brightest prospects
And rightly so.
They are literally the only club I associate him with.
Chris Kiwomya, Arsenal
David Speedie, Liverpool
Dion Dublin, Manchester United
Frank Stapleton at Ajax
That's a shock, didn't know he played for Ajax.
Unfortunately Poulsen - Ranieri announces him and the fans protest
(tbh, greatest midfield ever with Felipe Melo and Tiago Mendes ehehe)

Don't remember him as a player is more my point and I'm sure loads others didn't know he was a Real player.
Not sure if this has been posted before:
wow, didn't know that.
