I had Michael Essien in my head until I saw the "Still playing professional football" bit as not sure his current club are professional.

[Joe14]

Graham Branch?

You must be on the same lines as me.

I now looking for a French man that played at utd and Chelsea.

Lens until the summer of 2011

[diamondpocket]

I'm thinking someone who has played Utd with Ronaldo (England), Abidal at Monaco or Lille (France), Cole at Roma (Italy) and Torres at Atletico (Spain)

Not French, but Quaresma?

[bobinho]

Juan Mata?

[TheFamilyCat]

John Talbut

[diamondpocket]

One guarantee is that Abidal can't have been at Barca because Messi has been playing there since 2005 and Abidal was there from 2007 to 2013

bfccrazy, are the 4 countries associated with 4 players or is it just a fact that he has played in those 4 countries?

[aclaretinstevenage]

I thought it was Samuel Eto'o but can't recall him playing in France!

[diamondpocket]

good shout but can't find him playing in France

[matttheclaret]

Can't be Essien I don't think. Pretty sure he was with Varane at Real Madrid

[Dyched]

Starting to annoy me now. Hope it doesn’t turn out to be a player that was 17/18 and didn’t actually play a minute in the CL win.

Can’t have won the CL with Real Madrid
Can’t have played at Barcelona/Liverpool/Arsenal

[Dyched]

Essien was at Real with Varane
Eto’o, no Ronaldo

[FactualFrank]

Hope it doesn’t turn out to be a player that was 17/18 and didn’t actually play a minute in the CL win.

I think it's more likely to be one of those where we never actually find out the answer

It’s tough is this.

Can’t have won the Champions League with Real/Barcalona.

Since 2005
Milan, Man U, Inter, Chelsea, Bayern, Liverpool

I’m not sure myself mate.

The answer will be revealed at 7pm apparently - so will try and update later.

[Dyched]

Dennis Irwin?

[MrTopTier]

Zlatan Ibrahamivic?

[Colburn_Claret]

Ricardo Carvalho

[Colburn_Claret]

damn no Italy

[Dyched]

Ricardo Carvalho

I thought of him, but he’s about 68 now

[Marney&Mee]

Pretty sure it is Gifton Noel-Edmunds

[taio]

I suspect the first statement doesn't mean they have played for a club in those countries - just that they have played at least one game in each one.

Must make Denis Irwin about 80.

There must be 30 players that fit into that?!

Go on then name them given nobody can come up with a correct answer to the original question.

[matttheclaret]

Not sure who it is. Although certainly Denis Irwin barely fits any of those clues

[Dyched]

That was a joke.

I was just stating it’d an easier question if that was the case.

Conversations we rarely have? Well obviously yeah. Rarely do I ask my mates which current Burnley player has won the US Open golf, planted a daffodil on the moon and made a roast turkey dinner out of tile cement

[FactualFrank]

Basically - the person asking the question thought it was Essien, but then forgot it can't be him as he played with Varane at Real Madrid. So he's had to change the answer to the above.

Ridiculous Frank. Ridiculous.

I had an inkling for Essien. His Real Madrid season is listed as a Loan so wondered if it wasn’t counted.

[alboclaret]

Is the "bison" still playing?
