Optimistic Nut 268 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 (edited) Was just trying to think of a team of XI players who were once at a high level in the Premiership, but for whatever reason have seen their careers go to pot. For this team, they should still be at an age where they're in their prime, so the likes of Cademarteri, Jody Morris, etc. don't count. I've filled in 3 pretty obvious blanks. GK - Richard Wright RB - Stephen Wright LB - John Harley CB - CB - RM - David Prutton LM - Olivier Bernard CM - Seth Johnson CM - Stephen Hughes CF - Francis Jeffers CF - Carl Cort Edited November 15, 2008 by Optimistic Nut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingKev 0 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Kevin Phillips? Scored about 30 in a season at the SOS, but don't know where he's playing at the moment. But he's surely about 33 or 34 I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut 268 Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 He played for the Toon so he was. Not for a sustained amount of time though. What I mean is players who were regulars in the Premier League, playing well, then by 27-29 had disappeared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut 268 Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 Hmm, to be fair they've still both made a decent Premiership career for themselves though haven't they? How old's Gillespie now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could Carlos Marinelli count in this? Or was he just all hype at Boro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
