Oh, who was he? And when did he make an appearance?

[Cripps_orig]

Keeper

No idea if he ever played for us though but he was cover for Seaman and co 10 odd years ago

[Ernesto]

Oh, wow. Sort of before Lukic's second spell but after Bartram's?

[Master Splinter]

Carl Weathers.

[Ernesto]

Clive Allen

[alexander]

Clive Allen

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

thierry henry

[Dennis Bendtner]

Jack Wilshere :rose:

[Syn]

I guess the ones that might surprise you are the relatively big-name players that only player for a short while and left.

Like Suker.

I'm guessing Benayoun will be one of these names in 10 years.

[Master Splinter]

Hoolio Craptista :bow:.

[GP]

Hoolio Craptista :bow:.

Honestly the laziest player I've ever seen in an Arsenal shirt. No movement at all.

[The Ogg Monster]

What the fuck is this thread?

[Ernesto]

You are shitting me no?!

Honestly, I thought he was 'Mr Spurs', but when I found out he played for us for a very, very short time (wikipedia confirms this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clive_Allen), I was aghast.

[fakeyank]

bischoff :lol:

[dazthegooner]

Gus Ceasar!

[Flavs]

What the fuck is this thread?

Its for 10 year old to use google!

Oh oh let me play. Look for Rami Shabaan

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Rami Shabaan :haha: forgot about this guy

[GP]

Alex Manninger :bow:

Should have kept him.

[Marc Overmars]

Alex Manninger :bow:

Should have kept him.

He's still going strong at Juve. :bow:

Although obviously not number 1.

[PGFC]

Honestly, I thought he was 'Mr Spurs', but when I found out he played for us for a very, very short time (wikipedia confirms this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clive_Allen), I was aghast.

He never actually played for us though, he was just one for Ashburton 2006's spudbank.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Stefan Malz

I think he scored in some dead rubber against Newcastle once.

[GP]

Matthew Upson

:lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Alberto Mendez Rodriguez

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Denilson :lol:

[Dennis Bendtner]

Danilevicius (I really hope that's right)

Scored against Barcelona once.

[hymppi]

Denilson :lol:
i have already forgotten about him.
denilson-gone but not forgo...oh.

[Gubby Allen]

Apparently David O'Leary turned out a couple of times for us in his younger days.

[Ernesto]

Anyone remember that chap who scored a blinding goal at the City of Manchester Stadium in a Worthington Cup tie in 2004/05?

We won the game 3-1 and he was an American kid, playing left-back. Daniel something-or-other.

Daniel kabayssson or something like that, think he is one of our scouts now due to injury.

Yeah Danny Karbassiyon, he had to retire due to a knee injury and is now our north american scout :good:

[GP]

Anyone remember that french lad who made a couple of appearances for us, looks a bit like a lesbian michael mcintyre.

I wonder what happened to him.

Sagna fucked him in the ass and broke him

[LDG]

Sagna fucked him in the ass and broke him

Lucky bastard :loveblush:

Mind you. Sagna got rogered by that Jesus guy last night.

[tpyo]

Chris Kiwomya - 14 (3)

Signed at the same time as John Hartson iirc.

We also were super close to signing Alan Stubbs and Jason McAteer at one point.

[Ernesto]

Kiwomya started off OK-ish from what I can remember. Didn't really make any further signings from the lower divisions 'til Pennant after Hartson/Kiwomya.

Tony Woodcock. Always thought he was Mr Nottingham Forest. Didn't know he donned the red n white.

[Gubby Allen]

Woodcock was here for a while. Scored 5 in a league game once, Villa I think but still remember the night.
Not sure that has been equalled since? Kiwomya did ok here, better than he is remembered.

[Gubby Allen]

Vladimir petrovic and Siggi Jonsson.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Clive Allen

technically he didn't.....that's why he acts like a true scum **** that he really is when we play them!

Some much class on display there.....how classless Wenger is to not shake his hand......huh Joker?......I said 'huh?' Joker

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Yaya Toure

[Flavs]

Yaya Toure

Well he had a trial, unlike Zlatan who refused as he was too good apparently.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

played in a couple of our pre-season friendlies in july 2003

[Flavs]

played in a couple of our pre-season friendlies in july 2003

So did Marco Ne but i wouldn't say he was our player, so did on Tiger suited numpty as well, sadly we ended up signing him :(

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

the thread was "i didn't know he played for us"....i would say playing for us even in a reserve match counts.

So therefore I also add

Phillipe Christanvaal

[Japan Shaking All Over]

:popcorn:

:sulk:

[Japan Shaking All Over]

:burp:

[Ernesto]

Paolo Vernazza.

Totally forgot about this guy.

[arsenallovefc]

It's somewhat embarrassing when you think you know so much about your football club and then you hear about the year or 2 some amazing footballer played for your club and you had no idea because he wasn't good yet.

[Gubby Allen]

You want to put this to the test, try this:

www. sporcle.com/games/Resistance/arsenalfootballers

Plenty of other variations too.

[Niall_Quinn]

Nelson Vivas - legend who became a folk tale who became a myth who became a character in the bible.

[Niall_Quinn]

For those who have successfully forgotten Silvestre played for us (technically), I'm going to take this chance to remind you.

[Master Splinter]

:upset:

[Master Splinter]

Chamakh is still playing for us.

N_Q :haha:.

I had to be extra mean because you reminded me of Silvestre.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Guy Demel

Went on to forge quite a successful career as an FM budget must get.

[Gubby Allen]

Last time I played that quiz on Arsenal P.L players I forgot Platt & Anelka. I did the quiz on goalscorers straight afterwards and forgot them both again.

[Niall_Quinn]

Chamakh is still playing for us.

N_Q :haha:.

Only because my bus was cancelled.

Got to 119, then my mind went blank. :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Was doing it but then typed in Arteta, Mertesacker and neither turned up so its not up to date

[Marc Overmars]

Yeah I noticed that, they didn't have Santos either. Oxo and Gervinho were included though, so they obviously haven't included our deadline day players.

[Gubby Allen]

If you just go onto www.sporcle.com and type in Arsenal there are far better ones around, most of the top 30 or 50s are the best and easier to keep track of - or you can do appearences just by decade.

The Wenger red cards one is quite interesting.

Lee Chapman :shocked:
