I don't actually know but it's Aston Villa so... Brian 'the bastard' Little?

No.

Why 'the bastard'?

 

[Liquid]

Our manager when we were relegated to the Conference. I have a shirt from that season, 2007/08, signed by the manager (Brian Little) and assistant (Martin Foyle) who took us into the non-league for the first time ever. Won it in a raffle. It's the most sentimentally expensive piece of toilet paper I've ever owned.

But back to the question...1970s Aston Villa scorers... Nigel Spackman?

...wish I didn't ask...

No.

 

[Liquid]

Well you and I could both waffle on about clubs on the bones of their arses, right?

But I don't know this one. I only know the goalkeeper...

We certainly could. Just never mention 'Arry Redkrapp.

Aston Villa? 70s? Andy bigfatsexist Gray?

 

[dhandeh]

No to Andy Gray.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Ray Graydon??

 

[dhandeh]

Ray Graydon??

 

[MUSC4EVER]

YEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!

What a guess!!!!!

My question is..

..name the only two scotsman to have played in over 300 Premier League matches since its inception in '92

 

[SuperDiscoDaz]

Colin Hendry
Kevin Gallagher

 

[dhandeh]

I would put $20 on Gary McAllister being one.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

I would put $20 on Gary McAllister being one.

Have you put that twenty on?!..because its correct! McAllister made 325 apps

Gallacher and Hendry are good shouts, but wrong, Gallacher made 198 and Hendry 218 apps..

 

[Emptyone]

Steve McManaman (sp?) if only cause he has cropped up before here

 

[dhandeh]

I don't do internet bets!

Not sure how many big bad Dunc made for Everton/Newcastle?

 

[MUSC4EVER]

270 for Dunc!

I got the question from Fourfourtwo mag..but im on a website with a MASSIVE list of PL apperances!

 

[TyrrellRacing]

David Weir ?

 

[dhandeh]

I prefer to rack my brains before pulling the Google card.

But you're allowed as it's your question.

Kevin Campbell.

300 games, that is a good ten year career. Stumped for the second player, I have a few in my mind but I'm not going to list them all.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Nope, 236 for Weir!

the second player is a bit less obvious!

Its not Campbell!! as he is english!

Like i said i didnt get the question from the internet, but iam getting the player apperances from a site because i thought it would be good to give info on users answers..is this allowed?

As long as the facts are correct, you will need to quadruple check them for validity though.

Only less obvious one I can think of that should be near that is Neil Sullivan, the Wimbledon 'keeper.

 

[Liquid]

Yes. As long as you can source the question, that's fine. You don't have to actually know the question to ask it.

As for a Scot in club 300... dunno. A Leicester player.

dhandeh with a brilliant answer.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

No to sullivan..248

I dont know if he played for Leicester..i think a majority of his apps are for one club though..

 

[Liquid]

Not Sullivan? I am surprised.

Matt Elliott.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Hes Northern Irish isnt he??

 

[Liquid]

That was Gerry Taggart. And Neil Lennon.

 

[Famine]

Gordon Strachan? Played his Manchester United career before the Premier League started (and a bit of his Leeds career too), but Leeds and Coventry thereafter...

 

[Liquid]

I was thinking Strachan but 300 strictly Premiership games would be a stretch.

 

[dhandeh]

Ryan McGiggs?

 

[MUSC4EVER]

199 for Elliot..and i cant find Strachan on the list!

 

[dhandeh]

It's probably on parchment...
