Here's Le Tissier, probably scoring some ridiculous goal. I'm sure I remember a period of about 2 years where he would score a wondergoal every fucking week, usually involving chipping the goalie after mazing through a hapless back 4.

TINO

Sutton's still just about going, though he can only see through one eye at present and has to limp off 60 minutes into every match.

Villadude is Bosko, a legend of sorts

― Michael Annoyman (Michael Annoyman), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 09:55 (nineteen years ago)

― Subtractive Synthesis (Subtractive Synthesis), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 10:04 (nineteen years ago)

barmby played for liverpool

― Subtractive Synthesis (Subtractive Synthesis), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 12:31 (nineteen years ago)

how soon we forget. Anderton then.

― resumo impetus (blueski), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 12:33 (nineteen years ago)

answer to 3: MAURICIO TARICCO

― Comrades, meet Tildo Durd (Scourage), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 12:33 (nineteen years ago)

or maybe IAN HARTE

― Comrades, meet Tildo Durd (Scourage), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 12:33 (nineteen years ago)

ian harte is still playing, and probably will be for some time yet

― Subtractive Synthesis (Subtractive Synthesis), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 12:34 (nineteen years ago)

i was gonne put Harte in but yeh.

― resumo impetus (blueski), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 12:35 (nineteen years ago)

barmby is still playing, as are a couple more of them, just not in teh Premiership.

― Comrades, meet Tildo Durd (Scourage), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 12:35 (nineteen years ago)

Ehiogu still playing. For Rangers.

― Tom D. (Dada), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 12:37 (nineteen years ago)

poor ian harte, victim of double standards and the unfriendly people of valencia ;_;

― Comrades, meet Tildo Durd (Scourage), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 12:39 (nineteen years ago)

how old is Juninho now?

― resumo impetus (blueski), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 12:40 (nineteen years ago)

Only 33, apparently still playing in Brazil. Slightly surprised by this.

― Michael Annoyman (Michael Annoyman), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 13:26 (nineteen years ago)

And where is Emerson these days?

― resumo impetus (blueski), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 13:27 (nineteen years ago)

The whole premise of this thread is daft. Almost everyone I think of played for one of those three teams at some point. It's like saying "Name the most famous legendary people from Sherwood Forest apart from Robin Hood, Little John and Friar Tuck".

Can I have Waddle? His greatest days were pre-Prem, but he was still pretty handy for Sheffield Wednesday. Did he play for Bradford as well?

― Teh HoBBx (HoBB), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 13:44 (nineteen years ago)

yes. he scored an amazing Trevor Sinclair style overhead kick for Bradford one time i think.
