    Presumably it doesn't have to mean Manchester Unuted & City?

    Could be any United or City?

    His first 2 clubs don’t begin with the same letter.

    Yeah, I reckon it's not the Manchester clubs,  or at least not both of them.

    Without Google it must be nigh on impossible. I've no idea which year a player was born without Googling

    The Steve Claridge clue hardly narrows it down!

    I could only work out that he probably played for England when young but represented NI or ROI later ............ sorry putting you off, if wrong
    I thought that but there's also English u21 internationals who've played for African countries or Jamaica etc, tough to narrow it down.

    Must be a loan at Forest maybe?

    Anyone know the answer? This has really got me, plus my mates that I've sent it on to!

    It's a really tough one!  You need a Forest version of Colin Cameron's Home & Away to find people who played one game.

    Assuming it's it's Nottingham Forest!

    It's a minefield.

    The City could refer to Leicester or Bradford (as Collymore and Claridge played for them). But the club link with Collymore could equally be Forest. 

    The Claridge clue doesn't help, bloke had about 35 clubs.

    I'm a member of the Football in the 1990's group. That poster does those quizzes regularly but I couldn't find any record of that one. Maybe it was wrong and has been removed/edited?

    My mate messaged the bloke asking for more clues but he got shirty with him as he hadn't received enough guesses ! 

    It's been driving me nuts for nearly a week.

    It's good but it's not right, his first 2 clubs were man United and Rotherham.  He played 1 game for Notts County not forest.  Only ever played for Bermuda, finished his career at North Village Rams. Was born in a world cup year as well.

    Ha, yeah, apologies for that. I wish I could put us all out of our collective misery but I'm none the wiser myself. My pal who sent it to me has a lot to answer for. 

    As soon as I get the answer (if it gets revealed) I'll get it straight on here.

    Gianluigi Buffon is playing for Parma tonight so it is still that case that, between them, Stanley Matthews, Peter Shilton & Buffon have made at least one appearance in every season from 1931-32 on.

    Arsenal have spent the most amount of money of any PL club in the current transfer window.

    And you could argue that they've not even improved their first XI by doing it - Odegaard was there anyway, Ramsdale is a back up for now, Tavares is a back up, basically it depends on whether White is better than Luiz.

    Not sure if that 11 ever played again although I suspect they did.

    I recall it was the first game of the season after we won The Championship.
