Was it Trevor Benjamin?

Just googled a list of clubs hes played for. That is one stellar career.

that is correct isn't it?

No - it is NOT Trevor Benjamin. (Now I know why you thought Leicester was his 2nd club, not 1st).

The question is "faced most former clubs", NOT "played for most clubs".

Tighty - it was at the foot of the same piece in the Times as the Crouch/Giggs question.

Incred really (Trevor Benjamin)  - he twice played for FIVE different teams in a single season.

Not Steve Claridge either.  Doesn't qualify as just retired or starting at Leicester.  He must be close though.

Pretty sure horsey will kick himself, & Doobs definitely will, as the lad played for Bradford City a few years ago.

The fellas's name is Guy Branston.

This might be an easy one:

Alexis Sanchez has done it.
Messi has not.
Ronaldo has not.
Beckham has not.
Owen has not.
Shearer has not.
Henry has not.
Gerrard has not.
Giggs has not.
Even Akinfenwa has not.

What is it?

Do you mean Eamonn Dunphy? Spent most of his career at Millwall, but did play for Charlton, too. Terrific writer.

I was hung up on Steve Claridge, but knew he didn't quite fit.  Even when I googled it after, I kept getting Claridge and Benjamin.   But I saw Guy Branston's name in a forum discussion and he fit.  

Good question

Wonder if he gets most clubs he was captain at too?  He must be close

Ahh yes, of course.

An excuse to post a cracking line from his Wiki page. Think this comes under "damned with faint praise".


He was voted into Plymouth Argyle's Team of the Century
