Re: WHO AM I. QUIZ
Sorry it is not Ziege either.
Shouldn't really allow any more assistance (as there are clues in abundance) but the player you seek is not German.

Re: WHO AM I. QUIZ
No it is not Pires.
Here are a few more clues but can't really offer any more assistance on this. You're on your own from this point on :
#16 I have played in Red, White and Blue
#17 I was voted #6 best foreign import in the Goal magazine award list in 1997
#18 My greatest sporting moment occured between Holland and Germany
#19 I was often involved in media outbursts
#20 I didn't quite live up to expectations for one club side despite an outstanding first contribution.
There are no red herrings here and every clue is relevant

Re: WHO AM I. QUIZ
It is not Ruud Gullit.
You must have looked at clue #18 when providing an answer. I'd be very careful with that one, I've been rather clever with it. It's as much to do with years as much as countries. Here are the clues in full :
#1 I can often be associated with particular colors
#2 I looked out of place for a time when someone signed me up
#3 I have played in major final events
#4 I have won the biggest prize my continent has to offer at domestic level
#5 My domestic achievements are perhaps more recognized than my international
#6 People will look back in retrospect and wonder how I was part of a team that did so badly
#7 My countrymen are sometimes noted for irrational behavior
#8 I was in the wrong place - twice !
#9 I reached cult status among supporters
#10 It was not a good year for the roses
#11 I have played in the EPL since it's inauguration
#12 They once made a song about me
#13 I saw a terrible injustice while playing a certain opposition
#14 I was moments away from a winning team before an opposition player stepped up
#15 My home nation has won World, and European Championships
#16 I have played in Red, White and Blue
#17 I was voted #6 best foreign import in the Goal magazine award list in 1997
#18 My greatest sporting moment occured between Holland and Germany
#19 I was often involved in media outbursts
#20 I didn't quite live up to expectations for one club side despite an outstanding first contribution

Re: WHO AM I. QUIZ
Well that's not a bad line up even if there wrong
Ruud Gullit
Robert Pires
Christian Ziege
Dietmar Hamann
Eric Cantona
Mario Balotelli
Carlos Tevez
George Best
Lionel Messi
Clue 18
so we can safely move away from Holland, perhaps in a southern direction.
I'm off back to Italy when you say
#7 My countrymen are sometimes noted for irrational behavior
well they really irritate me
that clue first led me to N.Z,

Was there an answer in the above response ?
In any event the player in question does not represent The Netherlands (or Germany)
Is it Italian ? Maybe, Maybe not, but by all means keep at it.

I tried to add something to the highlighted area, and decided to edit all that was written. Pity really as I never used to be so tentative.
It's not Zola or Di Canio either incidentally but thanks for playing. Maybe next time.

Re: WHO AM I. QUIZ
It was achieved in the years from 1990 - 2000.
It is not the name you last responded with also.
Just to reiterate, this is a soccer player that is not Italian, Dutch or German (and) that played in the EPL.
Played for many clubs, some bizarre signings, won an honor or two and was at the time, highly recognized.

Cantona (France) Alí Ama Nayim (Spain) are the only two from countries that won both the World Cup and European Championship.that played in the 1992/93 Premier League.
so where do we go now mate. perhaps we should stick to golf.

Re: WHO AM I. QUIZ
sorry I f*cked up, I should have said the player you seek is not German or Dutch - Italian players are still open answers. Apologize unreservedly, things have been tough recently.
Look let's just get this over with as quick as possible and say the player is Italian. This should now be resolved in a short time. Put all the clues together with the one nation to work with and the truth will prevail. Needless to say it's not Papin either.

Re: WHO AM I. QUIZ

Dorigo Leeds played that yr but I thought he was an Oz.saint jude wrote:sorry I f*cked up, I should have said the player you seek is not German or Dutch - Italian players are still open answers.

Yes it was Ravanelli all along - played for Middlesbrough in the 1990s including League and FA Cup Finals before moving on to Derby County. (Greatest moment came in 1996 when playing - and winning - the European Cup with Juventus of Turin.

well impressed Jay. only problem Bryan Robson signed Fabrizio Ravanelli and junino in about 1994/95 ? so could be a problem with him playing in the premier in 92/93. but my memory could be going,
but well done Blue I think you win

Re: WHO AM I. QUIZ
Ok I'll do one......, hope that's ok with Bluemike.
I was born in Carlisle in 1960.
I played 257 times for my first professional club in midfield.
I only scored 7 goals, although Marko69 is shocked at this......, he thought I scored more.
I won two major trophies.
