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

― tsk. (rrrrrtc), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 09:54 (seventeen years ago) link

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 (seventeen years ago) link

barmby played for liverpool

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

how soon we forget. Anderton then.

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

answer to 3: MAURICIO TARICCO

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

or maybe IAN HARTE

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

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

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

i was gonne put Harte in but yeh.

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

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 (seventeen years ago) link

Ehiogu still playing. For Rangers.

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

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

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

how old is Juninho now?

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

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

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

And where is Emerson these days?

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

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 (seventeen years ago) link

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