Stuart Nethercott is perhaps best remembered for the disproportionate amount of times he featured in the Merlin F.A. Premier League Sticker Book collection for the 1994-95 season. Much to the chagrin of collectors, it was not unknown for a six sticker packet to contain six copies of Nethercott, then in the Tottenham ranks.

 

His sticker became ubiquitous to the point that, in an attempt to rid themselves of a rapidly thickening deck of Nethercotts, school children of the period were known to cover their friends' lockers as well as their school corridor walls with numerous copies of the Nethercott sticker, earning Stuart Nethercott a degree of fame and notoriety he was unable to attain in his footballing career.

 

May include him :lol:

Can we just nominate all of Sheffield Wednesday's 96/97 squad?

Fair shout.

 

With additional 98/99 signing and big headbutt fan Gilles de Bilde:

 

In a match between Anderlecht and Aalst in December 1996, he punched Krist Porte in the face, which broke his nose and injured his eye.[3] Previously, De Bilde received a suspended two-year prison sentence in 1992 for head-butting two boy scout leaders and, four months before the Porte incident, he head-butted one nurse and punched another when he was denied access to a hospital room his father was in, having suffered a brain haemorrhage.[3] Johan Boskamp, Anderlecht's head coach, suggested that De Bilde should see a psychiatrist.[3]

 

De Bilde – who campaigned for a European ban on cat and dog fur – was fined by the club in 2006 for missing a match to mourn the death of one of his dogs.

 

Had a lovely partnership with Luc Nilis at PSV.

 

Just to add

Didn't he pack in football to study or something?

 

He did play until he was 38 :lol:.

 

He did a degree in law. Played about 300 Premiership games, too.

I know but Allardyce had a yearly meeting with him to stop him retiring. Even at 38 Allardyce tried to persuade him not to quit. Reading his Wiki he was stabbed a couple of years ago.

He is a practicing lawyer these days and his colleague got stabbed at the office one day a couple years back. Guðni practically saved his life but also got stabbed a bit himself in the mean time. What a ledge.
