Germany?

 

[Marty]

None right on the third yet. I haven't told you which of Nailsy's first three guesses was correct either...

 

[rossdapep]

Norway, Denmark and Netherlands?

 

[Marty]

Norway, Denmark and Netherlands?

2/3

 

[Spurrific]

I'm going to go Danish, Dutch and Swedish but if it's right I'd rather one of the others who got 2 have a turn as I can't ever think of questions.

 

[nailsy]

@rossdapep Do you want to do the next one?

Ok, this one may be a little easy.

In the PL era, 6 players have played for both City and United.

Can you name them?

 

[nailsy]

Tevez
Schmeichel

I need to think about the others.

 

[whitelanefever]

Teves, Schmeichel, Hargreaves, Kanchelski, Cole, Robins

 

[rossdapep]

Teves, Schmeichel, Hargreaves, Kanchelski, Cole, Robins

So close!!!

Robins didn't play in the PL for United, he left in the summer prior to its start.

Also I don't think he played for City in the PL

 

[rossdapep]

The other 5 are correct though

 

[rossdapep]

Can anyone get the last one?

 

[Marty]

I have absolutely no idea who the sixth might be. I would've got four of the five that have been named, I wouldn't have got Kanchelskis.

 

[nailsy]

How about a clue for the last player? Position, when he played for them, etc.

Yeah sorry, should have given a few hints.

He came through United's youth system and was a midfielder. Ended up being a bit of a journeyman.

I keep thinking of Lee Sharpe, but it wasn't him.

 

[Marty]

It's going to be someone really obscure isn't it? Jonathan Spector?

It's got to be someone like that hasn't it? I've already ruled out the likes of Danny Higginbotham, Nick Powell, Ronnie Wallwork.

Terry Cooke I believe. Early days Championship Manager knowledge helped there

I will be fuming at the question-asker if this is the answer, as it will be incorrect. He played for United in the prem, yes - but never played for City in the Premier League competition. He was part of the team that gained promotion, but loaned out as soon as they got back into the big time as he was shite.

But then I guess he did specify "era" not specifically in the actual league. Tricky imo and unsporting.
