gonzo Posted January 31, 2021 Author Share Posted January 31, 2021 It's a shambles lads. Im sorry.. I didn't make the question so dont shoot the messanger WARREN FEENEY - I was in English football in the 1990s. (Leeds United) - I was at United and City. (Leeds United/Dundee United, Sailsbury City/Cardiff City/Swansea City) - I scored in the league for clubs in 4 different countries. (Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, England) - My father was born in a different country from me and I had a choice of countries to play for. (Warren Feeney Senior was born in Wales) - My father's birth country were not at the World Cup during my playing career. (Wales were not) - However, I played for the hometown/homecity club of where my father was born. (Warren Feeney Junior played for Swansea City, his Dad was born there) - I won caps for the first country that asked me. (Northern Ireland, of course - he was born and bred in Northern Ireland) - I scored a goal for that country in a group match which also featured my father's birth country. (Northern Ireland were in the same group as Wales in 2004 - 2005 qualifiers. Warren scored once in that group - a penalty v. Azerbaijan) - 7 of my clubs have been in the English top flight since 1990. (Leeds United, AFC Bournemouth, Luton Town, Cardiff City, Swansea City, Sheffield Wednesday, Oldham Athletic). - But only one of those clubs have been in the European Cup / Champions League final. (Leeds United) - However another of my clubs were in a different European final. (Dundee United) - The year after I was born, my father's birth country were not at a World Cup, but Scotland were. (1982 World Cup - no Wales, Scotland yes). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't, but in the context of the question the the first clue was "i was in English football in the 90s" so that rules out Peter Crouch It also rules out Craig Bellamy, Marcus Bent and Nicolas Anelka even they also played for 7 JSL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
