Guest Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I have scored for Manchester United against Liverpool, and for Liverpool against Manchester United. I won the Premiership with a London club and have won trophies in Spain, Italy & Scotland, but I have never played for my country. Who am I?" I can't get it, and no-one I've asked can get it either.

Dave Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Paul Ince? Yeah. Paul Ince never played for England. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Paul Ince? 53 england caps and the only London club he has played for is West Ham... in the 80s.. before the Prem was born. But er.. yeah.. good guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I bet there's some trick in there about youth teams etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 The answer probably depends on someone who scored for one against the other in a testimonial match or something? Maybe its Phil Chisnell? Him and Ince are the only players to have played for both that I know of. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Paul Ince? Yeah. Paul Ince never played for England. and the london club he won the prem with ? my answer is to the OP question. paul ince,didier drogba,gattuso and shola amapitony. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 "I won the Premiership with a London club" is faily straightforward though surely? I just think whenever I find out the answer to this, I'm gonna be massively dissapointed how awful a conundrum it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 googled it, someone on another forum reckons winning in Italy, Spain and Scotland doesn't neccessarily mean with a club from that country. ie. they might have won continental trophies when the final was in that particular country, a bit of a trick. I'm not sure theres an answer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MW Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liverpool_F.C._and_Manchester_United_football_rivalry Having a look on here, looks like this isn't possible looking at the transfers between the clubs. Cant think of anyone who's played for both, and either Chelsea or Arsenal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southerner Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 On top of Paul Ince the following players have played for Manchester United and Liverpool: Transfers to Manchester United from Liverpool 1912 August Tom Chorlton (FB), 1920 Sept Tom Miller (F) (£2000), 1929 Feb Tommy Reid (F), 1938 Jan Ted Savage (HB), 1938 Nov Allenby Chilton (HB) Transfers from Manchester United to Liverpool 1913 Nov John Sheldon (F), 1921 May Fred Hopkin (F), 1954 Feb Tommy McNulty (FB) (£7000), 1964 Apr Phil Chisnall (F) Liverpool (£25,000) Copy-paste from WikiAnswers but there's a mention of that 'Premier' league in the question. Can anyone think of Youth players, probably Italian that have made the swap between the two clubs? The 1987 & 2007 UEFA Cup Finals ended in Scotland, as did the 1960, 1976, 2002 European Cup Final anyone know thier salt about backroom staff?

SEMTEX Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 basically, after a quick google, this question is bullshit. There is no answer. And it was created suspciously close to April Fools Day. Anyway, give up, its impossible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 i'd also be looking at the wording of the questions ie "won trophies in spain,italy and scotland" ie champs league final was at hampden the other year, the question does not necessarily mean he won a scottish trophy. also it doesn't say he was a player, could have been a manager or coach or whatever in for euro finals in those countries.

Pilko Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I bet the Man Utd/Liverpool thing involves an own goal. Excellent shout. In that case, we're looking for a player who has played for one of the two, Chelsea and/or Arsenal as well, and who could have appeared in Champions League or UEFA Cup finals in the countries specified. Not impossible. Emmanuel Petit springs to mind, maybe? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 The answer is apparently Jermaine Pennant. Scored for Liverpool against Manchester United. Scored an o.g. for Liverpool Reserves against Manchester United Reserves. Was on Arsenal's books when they won the Premiership. Has won Pre Season & Youth tournaments in Spain, Italy & Scotland. So was a bit of a sh*te question really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking it's most likely a poached youth player from italy, Italy-21's win everything and scoring against United and Pool' on the reserve level, and still never have been capped for the 1st international squad due to arguements or some degree of falling out.... This is nails! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
