Can you name a player who has established himself

[Gritt23]

it's true , played in a league cup, FA cup ,UEFA Cup & Champions League final aswell as playing in every league from Premiership to Conference...


almost a quiz question isn't it

Who did he play for in the Conference then?

Oh hang on, I may know, was it Welling?

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

James Collins and Gabbidon at Spammers

 

[Icy Gull]

Why not Dawson?

Not impressed on the few occasions I have seen him, nothing more than average and a bit slow for the top level. I accept that I may be wrong as I've only seen him on the box about 4 time...put it this way I can't see a big club being interested in signing him.

 

[Buffalo Seagull]

What league were Oldham in when Irwin signed for Man Utd? I don't know if you'd classify him as a "star", but he's one of the best fullbacks ever to play in the PL

I ment why does he not count?
Playing in Europe and for a top 5 team, would indicate he has made the step up.
no slower than Terry anyway.

Lua Lua ?

I was thinking more of players who went on to become stars, very few on this thread could be counted as that. Pretty sure that loads of players went from the lower divisions to the top level in the old days before the Premeirship. We,as lower league fans, have been deprived of seeing these future stars at a lower level..that's all

I agree, But I think Premiership clubs are not as stupid as people think.

I mean would you rather pay 11 million for Berbs or 18 for Bent?
3 for Mccarthy or 7 for Nugent?

Cant balme the Premiership clubs, nor can you blame the lower clubs.

David Platt

He started his Career at Manure and then went to Crewe. It was like that a lot years ago but nowadays clubs just let their players go out on year long loans which never used to happen thus the face of football has changed making the big clubs bigger and the small clubs smaller.

 

[Dave the OAP]

Stephen Hunt
That Ginger haired tosser at reading - The goalscorer
wayne Bridge

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Soton had been in the Premiership when Bridge played for them.

 

[severnside gull]

Dean Ashton

edit: actually, were Crewe ever in League 1?

Wouldn't he have to actually be fit and play some matches in the premier league to qualify

[Simon Morgan]

Robbie Savage
Dean Kiely

[turienzo's lovechild]

he's won the champions league and has been a regular for one of the best teams in the league for years

 

[turienzo's lovechild]
