Emerson Thome Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 What football league record is held by Leon Clarke? (keep it polite!) Which former Owls striker is in second place to Clarke? And which former Wednesday player is tied for third? And which current Wednesday player is one behind the guy in third, amongst a host of players tied in fourth?

frastheowl Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 I have absolutely no idea, but I'm intrigued. First thoughts were either oldest Premier League debut (but then I remembered Graham Alexander was about 54 when he made his for Burnley). Played for the most football league clubs? But then I'm struggling to think of a current Wednesday player that's had anywhere near the amount of clubs Clarke has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandrewchaz Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 I'm guessing it has something to do with then number of clubs he's played for. Kuqi to answer no 2. ??, Marvin Johnson for no 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was shipped about a lot earlier in his career. The former striker…either Luke Varney, Deon Burton or Chris O’Grady? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanharper Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Antoine-Courier played for at least 20 clubs, but in different countries so may not count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, this is only English League Clubs, so Antonie-Courier is stuck on just 8 of his 20 clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must've had a fair few loan deals whilst at Fulham. Can only think of Darlo, Fulham, Birmingham, Wycombe & us as permanent clubs though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a strange career he had to. Absolute lower league journeyman for years and years and then makes his Premier League debut at 34. Surely that's got to be some kind of record too?!

Graham Alexander I think is the record holder (or was at least). Two months short of 38 when he made he debut. Was playing in the 80s, then played in the Premier League against (and beat) the likes of Bale and Modric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
