Not too sure how successful this will be but let's try and give it a go. I got the idea yesterday when winding up my former housemate who's a big Preston fan and we discovered we could name a full team (including starting XI, full subs bench, manager and chairman!) who had been at both of our clubs in the last 10-15 years. If you're interested, it was: GK Andy Lonergan RB Paul Connolly CB Clarke Carlisle CB Paul Huntington LB Danny Pugh RM Kevin Nicholls CM Sean Gregan CM Neil Kilkenny LM Eddie Lewis ST David Healy ST Jermaine Beckford Subs: Neill Collins, Andy Gray, Richard Cresswell, Michael Ricketts, Brett Ormerod Manager: Simon Grayson Chairman: Peter Ridsdale. While I'm not expecting that to be the case for many teams, I wondered how many other combinations of teams could share an entire teams of players in their history. I'll start with players to have played for both Blackburn Rovers and Liverpool GK RB CB CB LB Stephen Warnock RM CM CM LM ST ST
How did we forget Craig Bellamy and Liverpool's "final piece in the jigsaw" Jason McAteer. Kenny for manager.
GK Brad Friedel RB Jason McAteer (might be moved as he played pretty much everywhere) CB Stephane Henchoz CB Dominic Matteo LB Stephen Warnock RM El Hadji Diouf CM CM Danny Murphy LM ST Craig Bellamy ST Robbie Fowler Manager Kenny Dalglish
We could stick Stig Inge Bjørnebye in to the team at right-back and push McAteer on to the left wing? Danny Guthrie's then an option to complete the team, all be it not the greatest one.
OK that's a full quota. Next up: Aston Villa and Manchester City GK RB CB CB LB RM CM CM LM ST Darius Vassell ST
