Football Trivia questions

[machin05]

Does anyone follow @FootballTeasers on Twitter?

They post some good questions that get the grey matter working. I'm pretty useless with remembering stats and dates etc, but thought it'd be cool to share out the questions with you guys.

Today's is:

Ten Englishmen have played in the Premier League and La Liga. Name them.

After 5 mins I've got 6:

Steve McManaman
David Beckham
Michael Owen
Jonathan Woodgate (Langers)
Jermain Pennant (Langers)
Stan Collymore (Langers)
Dalian Atkinson (Langers)
Gary Lineaker (Sniffer Grouse)
Kevin Richardson (Langers)

No cheating, no google or wiki - GO!

Woodgate?
