Has played 386 matches in the Prem. No outfield player from outside the UK has played more games. Congratulations to him. He was a great player for us and if he'd have stayed I have a sneaky feeling he'd still be first choice.

Oh, and to add to this, he's 4th overall for foreigners. Can you name the top 5?

Begrudging respect from me. It's not that he left us; it's that he left us for the 'step-up' that was fucking Portsmouth. THAT hurt.

So the top 3 are 'keepers?
Schmeichel, Friedel, Given, I'd say.

And I'd like to throw in Kanu, too, just 'cos he seems to be the answer to a disproportionate amount of football trivia questions.

He never really played that much though. So Distin, Friedel, plus three more, not including ROI? Is that correct?

So we need two foreign keeper who (realistically) played 11-12 full seasons in the Premier League. Tough!

Giggs?
Are we allowed to mention his name now a days? or Is there still a media blackout?
