Rangers could have one of these alone. Gennaro Gattuso played for Rangers..

Frank De Boer, Ronald De Boer, van Bronkhorst, Brian Laudrup, Paul Gascoigne, Henning Berg, Tore Andre Flo, Andrei Kanchelskis

I also forgot that @Paolo Di Canio played for Celtic early in his career

Laudrup played more for Rangers than for any other club though.

I had no idea Ivan Toney was once at Newcastle until very recently. Knew Brentford signed him from Peterborough and I assumed he'd always been playing further down the league ladder.

he started in our academy but left at about 14-15
Not deemed good enough at the time or for other reasons? Wikipedia is telling me is from Northampton and ended up there so maybe that was just easier for him in terms of travel.

I like these sorts of stories when a player has to drop down before eventually making it back to the big time. Vardy ending up with you, Kevin Phillips etc.

Chelsea have had a few like that.

Pato, Higuain, Falcao, Eto’o, Aubameyang, Joao Felix, Shevchenko, Crespo…

and the weird thing is they always flop!
Shocked to learn that Pato played for them. wtf

Those 3 don’t belong on that list. I’m surprised anyone would forget Sheva played for Chelsea. No one at Chelsea considers Crespo a flop.

Eto'o scored a hat-trick for your lot against us that you might remember? If he hadn't have done that I might've forgot. The other two definitely not!

You’d know better than me, I assumed all 3 were fairly underwhelming at Chelsea. Eto’os hat trick against us apart.

Why not?
Decent fee at the time, poor scoring record for his reputation, spent a fair bit of time out on loan too.

Is he one of those cult hero types?

Carlton Morris and alan Campbell in the premier league will never not be funny to me. remember them at Hamilton Academical and Motherwell, they weren't up to much then either.
