Its Famine's turn to ask a question next right??

 

[mp10]

Asked Famine if i can have my go, said its OK, so here goes.

Here's one my brother sent, its quite tough.

1. I had an injury plagued career.

2. Liverpool signed me in the late 1990's

3. The most memorable goal i scored was against AC Milan in the Champions league

4. I did not play much for my national team however i was picked for two major tournaments

5. Gerard Houllier praised me as one of the most important players on his team.

Milan Baros

Didier Hamman ?

None of them

 

[Famine]

Steven Gerrard (though I'm sure he's played at more finals tournaments than two) or Jamie Redknapp?

 

[TyrrellRacing]

Steve Finan ?
Luis Garcia ? Think he was signed in the 2000's though.

 

[daan]

Jamie Carragher?

 

[mp10]

no correct guesses so far, the player is not as well known as Gerard Houllier's other signings.

 

[TyrrellRacing]

Bolo Zenden ?
Harry Kewel?

 

[Famine]

3. The most memorable goal i scored was against AC Milan in the Champions league

This one won't be for Liverpool, I'm guessing, since Liverpool have only playe AC Milan in the Champions' League twice and all the scorers (including penalty takers) have already been named - except Dirk Kuyt who's a bit more recent as Liverpool signings go than "late 90s"...

None of them either

You're right about him not playing for liverpool when he scored against AC milan. getting closer

Sami Hyypiä? Was captain from 99-01 I think so pretty important, Finland don't play much, and didnt score against AC in his Liverpool career.

Then again, I don't know I he ever did.

Nope, i'll give a clue to make it a little easier, he's Norwegian

John-Arne Riise?

Vegard Heggem. That was some hard research. Someone else can have my turn because I can't think of anything worthy.

 

[Vegard]

Vegard Heggem (had to get that one didn't I).

Scored the winning goal in Roseborgs 1-2 victory against AC Milan in 1996.

Edit: treed

Sure you did

I'll go then.

Between L.A Galaxy and New York Red Bulls, how many players from the two teams have been a part of a premier league club. Players that didn't ever play but were a part of the squad count, people who went out on loan (e.g. Landon Donovan) count and the club had to be in the premier league when that player was there.

 

[Solo]

David Beckham, Thiery Henry, Robbie Keane, Landon Donovan, Juninho, Tim Cahill. Thats 6 current players, if we are including past players I can add two more to the list Tim Howard and Juan Pablo Ángel.

 

[Omnis]

Would've been nice to let Vegard go...

Looking for numbers, you got 5 of them right though, Juninho was never in the Premier League.

It had been like 45 minutes and no word from him.

Yes he was... Middlesborugh.

To clarify though, are you looking for current players for the two US teams that have played in the PL or just any player that's played for them?

That is the wrong Juninho.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitor_Gomes_Pereira_Junior That's the LA Galaxy player.

Current players that have been a part of a PL club. One of those players was signed with Liverpool but only was loaned to Plymouth Argyle.

Just guess a number.

Dam Brazilians with similar names! My bad

7?

And nope, if we get past the hour I'll give the answer.👍

Worth noting that two of these never actually played in the Premier League,
