Super Ally and Sam Allardyce

[davyloyal]

Listening to Ally on Talksport the other morning and he mentioned that he played in the same Sunderland team as big Sam. I would never have guessed that these two played at the same time, never mind in the same team.

Any more unlikely players that played in the same team, probably one near the end of their career and the other at the start?

Ach wrong forum. Can you move it please admin?

Bobby Murdoch and Graeme Souness at Middlesbrough. Almost seems like 2 different generations.

Gullit and Cruyff at Feyenoord

Murdoch was carrying some weight back then,he could hardly run.

I was surprised first time i heard that too.

 

[Ambiorix]

The Brazilian forward, Zico, played in the same team as the classical Greek philosopher, Socrates.

 

[SDF]

Half the Dundee team in the early 2000s and any Scottish plodder alongside them - Lee Wilkie, Stevie Milne, Barry Smith, Dave Mackay

 

[Hurleyreyes]

I was more surprised when he said Frank Worthington.

I think he even said he roomed with him.

Frank Worthington and an 19yo Ally McCoist out on the town

What could go wrong?

 

[sprally]

Ravanelli
Dundee!

Claudio Canniga and the whole Dundee team.

 

[aghalee_hero]

Everyone has met Super a couple of times apparently so this doesn't surprise me in the least

While we are on Souness, I raise you with his only game at Spurs where he replaced Alan Mullery, and so joined 1966 World Cup Final scorer Martin Peters, Northern Ireland legend Pat Jennings and Scottish legend Alan Gilzean, who won the League with Dundee in 1962

Allardyce was a decent Centre Half, and is only 7 years older than Ally hard though that is to believe.

If anyone can beat Brian Rowan, Ballieston Juniors and Morton with the greatest of them all, Pele at New York Cosmos, 1976 season, I tip my hat to you. Strange but true.

That’s an absolute belter.

 

[bud_light]

2 former Rangers players.
Alfie Conn and Dave McKellar at Derby County on the 70s

frank sauzee and the whole hibs team

Also the whole Hibs team and George Best when he played for them.

The Fulham team who played alongside George Best, Bobby Moore and Rodney Marsh in the mid 70s.

He was one of my dads best pals. My mum hated him because when he came back to EK my dad would go on the missing list for days.

Beckham played in the same Preston team as David Moyes

 

[dh1963]

Ray Wilkins and Giovanni van Bronckhorst.

Played in the same Rangers team in Alan McLaren's testimonial.

 

[WinkieWATP]

Claudio Canniga and the whole Dundee team.

I wonder if he ever sat down with Maradonna and told him what it was like to play with Willie Falcnor

 

[Hap Hapablap]

Beckham played in the same Preston team as David Moyes

That is seriously blowing my mind.

Great Post, and perfect example of the intention of the thread.

Not people posting about testimonials ffs.

 

[Jonathan E]

Rangers legend Davie Wilson played in the same Dumbarton team as Colin and Tom, the McAdam brothers.

Was Murdo McLeod there at that time too?

 

[Johnny Yen]

Bobby Murdoch and Graeme Souness at Middlesbrough. Almost seems like 2 different generations.

Stein is on record as saying these 2 were easily the 2 best players he managed.

Obviously never played with him but Barcelona tried to replace Maradona with Stevie Archibald.

 

[dh1963]

Colin Jackson and Mo Johnston.

Played together for Partick Thistle in 1982-83.

I always think MLS gives good examples of weird combinations of players because of the rules allowing certain players wages to be unlimited while the rest of the squad needs to fall under a salary cap. So there is potential for superstars to be mixed with absolute jobbers.

For example just now, Gonzalo higuain plays with Lewis Morgan which is bizarre. Bound to be bettter examples though out the last 10 years

I sometimes watch the MLS games on a Saturday night.

The commentary on the freesports channel is mental. American guy that calls a cross a service

Sandy Jardine and Alan McLaren

Born in 1948 and 1971.

Both played in the 1987/88 season.

Put in a service for someone to head kick it into the upper 90

Wonder when Caniggia stayed in the West End playing for us if Willie Falconer ever made him a piece when he worked at O'Brien's in Byers Road.

Obviously never played with him but Barcelona tried to replace Maradona with Stevie Archibald.

Barca fans love Archibald. Was it not Venables that was the manager? Seems mental he went from QPR manager to Barcelona.

 

[No Hiding Place]

Did Andy Gray and Walter Smith play in the same Dundee United side?

Archibald won the league with Barca. Top scorer that season as well I think.

Jermaine Defoe played for Bournemouth in the same team as Peter Grant in 2000/01.

That’s probably why JD is so staunch

Ray Wilkins and Giovanni van Bronckhorst.

Did Stuart Pearce not play for us that night? Also I think Gazza played for both teams that night?

 

[Peekaboo]

Kyle Lafferty and Paulo Dybala played upfront together for Palermo

 

[Madjid Moments]

Beckham played in the same Preston team as David Moyes

He did indeed. My mate played against him whilst he was at West Brom. He has the team sheet framed and reminds is that he played against Beckham.

 

[Leo_Ger]

Edgar Davids played in the same team as Wilfred Zaha.

 

[Jonathan E]

Was Murdo McLeod there at that time too?

Murdo was about 2/3 years later by which time Davie was either assistant manager or manager.

 

[colinwest]

Gazza and John Robertson both played for Newcastle at the same time (albeit briefly)

 

[Grimsdale]

Became manager I think.

Wayne Rooney played with Davie weir at everton.

Richard gough played against Steven gerrard when he was at everton
