Trivia question.

I don't think Redknapp scored for us in the PL, definitely got one in the FA Cup at Northampton, but no league goals IIRC. Same with Le Saux, scored at Bristol City in the League Cup but no league goals.

 

Beattie didn't score for England, so he doesn't count either. Nor did Kevin Phillips, surprisingly.

 

Peter Crouch

Wayne Bridge

Kerry Dixon

Le Saux definitely scored in the PL - I remember one that he got against Nowich when we won 4-3 (last minute goal from Camara)

Signed in 1992 - possibly the first year of the EPL.

 

Even Soccerbase doesn't have all of his Saints Prem appearances listed

 

http://www.soccerbase.com/players/player.sd?player_id=2074&season_id=122

 

but it does have his signing date of 19 July 1992 and leaving date of 19 Feb 1993, notes he played 8 times in the League (the Prem did indeed start in 1992/3 so they were Prem games) and he scored 2 League goals (and no Cup ones) for Saints in that time.

 

Of course I'd forgotten he ever scored for England as well, but there you go.

Kevin Davies didn't score in his one England appearance 0-0 v Montenegro in October 2010. No caps for Saints, or anyone else for the first 13 years of his career.

 

James Beattie didn't score in his FIVE England appearances in 2003 and 2004 (as well as the Australia 3-1 defeat most people remember, he played 2 minutes in a 2-1 win v Serbia & Montenegro in June 2003, came on for Heskey after 76 minutes of a 3-1 v Croatia, played 90 minutes in a 2-0 win v Liechtenstein (think I'd have fancied that), and got a half in a 3-2 defeat to Denmark in November 2003. Never capped after leaving Saints.

 

Kevin Phillips played 8 times for England between 1999 and Feb 2002 and never scored. 22 goals for Saints in 64 "never felt right" appearances. No caps after joining Saints.

 

David Hirst scored against New Zealand in June 1991 in a 2-0 win and has 3 England caps. 9 goals for Saints between 1997 and 1999. No caps after joining Saints.

 

Carlton Palmer scored once in his 18 caps, for England v San Marino and 3 times for Saints in 45 matches. No caps after joining Saints.

 

David Speedie is Scottish. :D
