[TheFamilyCat]

Can you name the former and future Clarets (players, managers or coaches) who were in Premier League starting XI on the first weekend of fixtures in 1992?

There are 8 to get.

Possibly Micky Phelan at Man U, and then possibly Chris Waddle, Chris Woods, Ian Wright.

Woods
Dixon
May

All correct.

[dandeclaret]

Jamie Hoyland?

[TheFamilyCat]

Apologies, there are nine, not eight.

[Murger]

Gazza?

[TheFamilyCat]

Not Hoyland or Gazza. Gazza would have been at Lazio then I think. Or on crutches.

[ClaretTony]

I would never have thought of Woany - if he's in what about Steve Stone?

[whiffa]

Not sure if he'd have been starting 11 but David Unsworth maybe?

[ClaretTony]

Brian Laws

[Neil]

Heath?

[TheFamilyCat]

Waddle
Woods
Dixon
May
Woan
Laws

All correct.

None of Stone, Heath or Unsworth.

The last three are fairly obscure; two because they didn't play much for us, one because most probably wouldn't know he played for this PL club.

[Tall Paul]

Paul Stewart?

I've a feeling Damian Matthew may have played for Chelsea?

One more to get.

[Foshiznik]

Mitchell Thomas or Frank Sinclair?

[ClaretTony]

One I should have got because it's stuck in my head somewhere - I think Damian Matthew might have played for Chelsea

Thanks for sharing TFC

[TheFamilyCat]

There could be others, like a former Oldham player who was the under-9's set piece coach for half a season, or something equally obscure.

[Tall Paul]

Paul Lake was physio for a while and probably played in that opening weekend. Would that count?
