Interesting bit of trivia for you:

Paul Dickov is the only player to have played for four of the (post-1993) six Premier League-winning clubs, but to have never won the Premier League himself.

If anyone on here organizes a pub quiz, that's one of your questions sorted for next week.

Bit easy though
Arsenal
Us
Blackburn
Leicester

I think the idea is to ask "which player ..." not what clubs Dickov played for that have won the league.

Has also played for Leeds. I know they haven't won the PL but that's five title winning teams he had played for. Must be a record of all time as well, certainly in England if not Europe

Just have a cup of coffee and you'll be fine ;-)

Surely the answer to that would have to be (as it is for many football trivia questions) John Burridge?
Villa
Derby
Wolves
Sheffield United
Newcastle
City

And in Scotland:
Dumbarton
Aberdeen
Hibernian

That's 9 clubs in total that he's played for who have won top-flight titles at some point in their history.

Wow. That's some going

When he is interviewed as a semi-pundit, he is one of the most pro-City people out there. Which is what I thought this thread would be about.

Take note BT - bin those goons and take on Dickov.

Sure I've read somewhere he and his lad(s) have got season tickets. Always been a decent pundit whenever I've seen him as well.

This has been a great quiz question at work - loads of players being suggested (Anelka, Savage, Bellamy), but none who've played for 4 winners without winning it themselves. Had to check he'd played for Arsenal in the PL, but he had 1 sub appearance

At some point, I'll have to put them out of their misery

Yeah, we had one today. 5 British players to win two CL medals.
