After yesterday's sad news concerning Peter Bonetti's passing, I had a look to see if he was in goal the first time I saw us play Chelsea - Sept 1978. He was and as well as being surprised that Ron 'chopper' Harris also played that day I noticed Ray Wilkins in the line up and realised I'd seen him play against us a few times for other clubs, namely Man U and QPR.
Granted, it's only three and I'll have to have a think for others, but my question today is.... What players have you seen play against us with different clubs? No lazily throwing in Ted MacDougall - Loads of clubs but mainly outside the top division.
Name the player and the various clubs he turned out for. (They can include us of course)

I'd imagine Collymore must have played against us with Villa, Forest and Liverpool. Were we relegated when he went to Leicester?

Dion's not a bad shout - Cambridge & Man U before us then Villa, Leicester, Norwich and I'm sure he played against us for Millwall in a Friday evening TV match.

I don’t think we’ve ever played against Jordan Rhodes. He was at Huddersfield for a while then went to the Championship the season after we got relegated I think

On a separate note a little quiz:

who’s the team we’ve played most since relegation from the Premier League?

And

which team have we beaten the most? (13 wins from 21 games)

Slightly off topic but Didn’t Marco Gabbiadini score twice in the same week against us for 2 different clubs? Palace and sunderland?

I am pretty sure was at Leicester the year we went down and the season before. He might have even played against us for Bradford?

Team most played since relegation, Preston I think spent every season in the Champ with us and then one in League 1?

Yep Preston.

27 games. W3 D10 L14

2004 4-1 win at home (Gudjonnson x2, Mcsheffrey, Doyle)

2007 2-1 win at home (Adebola, Doyle). Think Doyle scored from outside the box and went top early in season

2013 JPT quarter final at home (Clarke, Jennings, Baker).

Oh bloody hell, i did think Sheffield United but discounted them as they'd been promoted to the PL in the mid 00s and then again recently, suppose we've played them a lot in League 1 mind.
