TheBaldOne66 703 Posted July 22, 2023 Watching an old big match game on YouTube between QPR and Man City from 1977, and can’t believe how many of this Man City side went on to play for us later in their careers. Joe Corrigan, Willie Donachie, Mick Channon, Joe Royle and Asa Hartford all went on to play for us later. Has there been any other teams with as many who went on to play for us from one team?

BroadstairsR 2,217 Posted July 22, 2023 Spurs? Polston, Culverhouse, Bowen, Neighbour even Martin Chivers for a while. May be some more? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheBaldOne66 703 Posted July 22, 2023 I mean that played in the same team, I watch a lot of these old games, helps pass the time here in the Middle East, and only other one I have come across is West Ham tbh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheBaldOne66 703 Posted July 22, 2023 Just now, BroadstairsR said: Spurs? Polston, Culverhouse, Bowen, Neighbour even Martin Chivers for a while. May be some more? 2 different eras there, we had Neighbour, Chivers and Peters from the 70s and Polston, Culverhouse, Bowen, Crook and Brooke too from Spurs, but don’t know if all of them played in a game for Spurs in the 80s at all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spurs currently have four ex-Norwich players, but none of the crossed paths with each other during their time here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is a Bournemouth team photo that has a load of players that came here. It’s been posted before I’m sure. I think it was the Phil Boyer era; before my time I’m afraid! @nutty nigel will have it no doubt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Google Bot 3,342 Posted July 22, 2023 (edited) Always felt that we get a lot of ex-Coventry players over the years, I think of players like Huckerby (Man City too!), Butterworth, Maddison, Dublin, Clingan, Philips, Edworthy, Safri etc. Paddon was originally from Coventry too, had to look that up as I kept thinking Downs was from Coventry, but he went there from us. We've got McCallum at the club now of course. Plenty went the other way too over the years, of course. Edit: Sorry, just realised you meant players in the same team, ignore me! Although, I'm sure Hucks and Dion played at Coventry together. Edited July 22, 2023 by Google Bot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aggy 766 Posted July 23, 2023 (edited) Leeds the big one in more recent years. Jim Brennan, Darren Ward and Matthew Louis-Jean were all at Forest at the same time. Huckerby, Dublin and Marc Edworthy were all at Coventry at the same time for a couple of months before Dublin left in the days before transfer windows. ( Edworthy also played with John Hartson, Bellamy, Keith O’Neill and Safri (Hartson and Bellamy left the year Safri and O’Neill joined - obvs O’Neill and Bellamy had already left us but seems to have been quite a bit of cross over with them around then)). Notman, Mulryne, Luke Chadwick and David Healy were, as far as I can tell from Wikipedia, all in one of Man Utd’s youth squads in 1999 - doesn’t really count! 14 hours ago, BroadstairsR said: Spurs?
