Which English player has played for the most clubs?

[CantSmileWithoutYou]

John Burridge?

 

[werty]

Steve Claridge?

 

[gilzeantheking]

John Burridge?

He played in total for 29 clubs, from top flight in England, Sctotland to no league.

He also played for 13 clubs for whom he never actually made an appearance.

Someone can take my turn

I can go.

In the first round of PL fixtures in 1992, only 13 non-British (or Irish) players featured, from 10 different nationalities. Name the three nations that had two players who played that week.

He didn't play the opening round of fixtures. The same goes for Erik Thorstvedt, who was in our squad but didn't play that opening weekend.
