Premiership to Real Madrid

delta_bravo

This is a question that always stumps me and my mates in the pub: We have been told that there has been 13 players that played in the Premiership and then went on to play for Real Madrid, we always seem to get no further than 11. Any help here?

Gravesen indeed

Also,
Reyes
Robben

Do Morientes and Baptista count?

Robert Jarni maybe if the question was worded differently

"How about robert jarni signed for coventry city in 1998 was then sold to real madrid a day later without ever kicking a ball for the club"

Arjen Robben

Came up with the following (with collaboration):

Lassana Diarra
Steve McManaman
Michael Owen
David Beckham
Claude Makelele
Geremi
Nicolas Anelka
Fernando Morientes
Arjen Robben
Gabriel Heinze
Ruud Van Nistelrooy
Jerzy Dudek
Jonathan Woodgate
Fernando Hierro
Ivan Campo
Jose Reyes
Baptista
Antonio Nunez
Karembeu
Davor Suker
Thomas Gravesen
Arbeloa
Raul Bravo
Júlio César (Bolton)
Robinho
and perhaps Robert Jarni


26 enough?




Actually, they all played in the Prem and for Real but not neccessarily in that order...


New list:

Lassana Diarra
Mcmanaman
Owen
Beckham
Anelka
Robben
Heinze
Van Nistelrooy
Dudek
Woodgate
Reyes
Gravesen
and Jarni?

That makes 13

Thanks for that comprehensive list, may come in handy for a quiz

Crash Bang Wall

Luis Garcia should come in there somewhere as well

OK, let's see

Beckham, MacManaman, Robben, Heinze, Gravensen, Anelka, Reyes, Baptista, Diarra, Ruud, Dudek, Xavier,


Alright, I give up, that's all I can get...


EDIT:
OMFG Can't believe I forgot Woodgate and Owen!!
I remember seeing a rumour thing about Xavier moving to Madrid, so I thought I might throw him in in case he had made a short move there at some point. And thought Baptista may have moved from Sevilla-Arsenal-Madrid
I think Dudek and Gravensen are the players alot of people would forget about

yerayeah

Julien Faubert can be added to the list now.

Happy Monday

Laurie Cunningham was an England player who played for Real Madrid in the early 80s - he was killed in a car crash in Madrid as well.

Played against Liverpool in the 1981 European Cup Final.

eagle eye

Most played for big clubs in England.
Arsenal
Anelka
Reyes
Chelsea
Robben
Manchester United
Beckham
Van Nistelrooy
Heinze
Liverpool
McManaman
Dudek
Michael Owen
Newcastle United
Jonathon Woodgate
Everton
Gravesen
Portsmouth
Diarra

Faubert just joined from West Ham and has just played his first game for them.

I remember Jarni signing for Coventry then Real bought him almost immediately. There was controversy over it as the club that were selling him would not sell to Madrid and this seemed like a deal between Coventry and Real before Coventry bought him. So while he actually was signed to an EPL club he never played here. But then again when you make 1 mill on a player for nothing, I'm sure its a good reason to sell.

So from my reckoning there are now 13 that played in England before playing with Real Madrid, but there was only 12 unless you include Faubert who never played.
