Some Serie A history made by Roma

[Struths Canary]

First time in history two English players have scored for same team in same game....Abraham and Smalling.

 

[Recoba]

Groundbreaking stuff

 

[scottishcampbell]

Slightly disappointing thread but nice to know I guess

 

[PrisonMike]

I find this sort of stuff interesting so thanks for posting OP

What about Wilkins and Hateley ?

What about Wilkins and Hateley ?

Probably the only other time 2 English players have played for the same Italian side at the same time? good quiz question!

Aye same.

It's also nice to see more British players go and try to make a name for themselves in leagues outside of the UK. There was a period there where hardly any did, but Italy especially seems to be attracting more Scottish and English players.

Would David Platt and Trevor Francis have played for Sampdoria together?

Dodnt Platt play with Des Walker at Sampdoria?

Platt was early 90s, Francis was 80s.

I think Des Walker was at Sampdoria a year before Platt but not at the same time (Platt would have been at Juve and Walker only lasted 1 season)

Thought Platt was Bari unless he then moved to Sampdoria from there. Platt matched the world transfer fee of Trevor Steven, which shows how good Trevor Steven was

Bari, Sampdoria and Juventus.

 

[CooperBlu11]

Good to see Mike Smalling going strong out there. He’s pretty much one of those forgotten names.

Would Luther Blisset have been in the same team as them?

Platt went to bari in 91, then juve before he ended up at sampdoria.

Francis played for samp before he joined us in the mid to late 80s.

Beautifully googled.

What about Liam Brady and Ian Rush at Juventus?

They weren’t English

 

[BlueBritain55]

I was about 11 when Danny Dichio signed for Sampdoria (then on loan to Lecce).

That's the first time I remember thinking 'fitbaws f*cked'

Dernis Law and John Charles are both missing from your list, and a lot better than most of the English on it

That’s because it’s a list of English players.

Lee Sharpe played for Sampdoria? Whit?? Lol

Managed 3 games while on loan from Leeds. I think Platt was manager at the time. I imagine the reaction of the Sampdoria supporters was similar to yours!

 

[Sir Sidney Ruff Diamond]

Slightly OT but I knew Joe Baker. Brought up in Craigneuk but he was capped for England and his older brother Gerry played for USA. Back then you played for the country where you were born. Gerry was born in NYC and Joe down south before the family moved back to Wishaw.

 

[Loyal72]

Came into this thread hopeful that Roma were doing some groundbreaking stuff...

 

[Totti]

Winning 4-1 at Atalanta with 28% possession is probably a more impressive stat tbh.

Saw a game at Easter Road
Joe for Hibs and Gerry for Motherwell

Remember the time the EPL had hardly any foreigners? And all the chat and “controversy” around Arsenal fielding a team with no English players?

Money money money.
