Questions for the anoraks . . .

Recommended Posts

1. Which current player played his first 3 Premier League games with 3 different clubs?

 

AND

 

2. When was the last time Saints were NOT in the relegation zone? Bare in mind we spent almost all of last season in the bottom 3!

 

The first question was one of 'Tyler's Teasers' on the Sky Sports website, so I would imagine a few of you have already seen the answer to that one, but the second one is a genuine question! Answers on a postcard please.

The first could be Kelv. Maybe he played once for Wimbledon and Ipswich before playing in the Prem for Sunderland.

 

I'd say after we beat Burley away last season.

 

Can't think of any player who has played for three Prem clubs at all, except possibly Connolly.

 

Also we lost to Burnley. 3-2. 3-0 at half time. Skacel and Surman got two back second half.

possibly you mean the barnsley game? we went there and won, after being brushed aside by manure.

Should probably clarify with regards to question 1. By 'current player', I DO NOT mean a current Saints player. Admittedly, the wording is a bit mis-leading though! Apologies for that. However, the answer DOES have a link to Southampton FC.

Kevin Davies possibly but obviously not the answer to question 1 and James Beattie and Rory Delap and Danny Higginbotham?

 

Can think of many ex-Saints who have played for three clubs, I was refering to current players.

 

Anyway, now that the goalposts have been moved...

 

It's not Beatts, Higgy, Delap, Crouch, Camara or Phillips

I've got another question. When will we officially lose the prefix "struggling", as in "Struggling Southampton"? I think that is so ingrained in the football correspondent's psyche that we'll have to qualify for the Champions League, to lose it.

 

So the answer to your question is 3 to 4 years then :rolleyes:

It's Calum Davenport. He made his first Premier League appearance for Coventry when he came on as a 45th minute substitute against Bradford during the final game of the 2000-01 season. Coventry were then relegated to the Championship and Davenport waited over three years for his next Premier League game - as an 83rd minute substitute for Tottenham against Aston Villa on 22 November, 2004. After spending four matches as an unused sub at Spurs, Davenport was loaned to Southampton, playing his first Premier game for the Saints against Fulham in a 3-3 draw on 5 January, 2005.

1- without looking up any records .. I'd guess it was Kelvin Davis.

If he wasn't first choice keeper, or was loaned out at all then it sounds quite feasible.

Other than that my outside chance would be Chris Perry. Not too many others have played at Prem level.

 

EDIT ..**** LATER AMENDMENT ..OH, HIM ! I read it as a SAINTS player .sorry .

 

2- Well we did get a CCC play-off place when Burley was still with us ..thats not so long ago, surely (2006-7 maybe.?)
