BS4 on Tour... Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 I’m just in the midst of international break boredom so thought I’d throw out a Malbec-inspired, interesting triv question - why is this team of players unique? Mark Shwarzer Gael Clichy Henning Berg Robert Huth Kolo Toure Ashley Cole Riyad Mahrez N’Golo Kante James Milner Nicolas Anelka Carlos Tevez .... not the worst line up I’m sure you’d agree, I’m thinking 5-3-2, but I believe they are the only 11 players to have one thing in common .... feel free to Google and cheat, just a bit of fun ...

The Journalist Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 Have all won the Premier League with different clubs in consecutive seasons? edit: this is wrong, but not far off I don’t think? Perhaps just won it with more than one club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_BCFC Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 Is it winning league without playing certain amount of games at one club to get medal and winning league at another and playing enough games to get a medal? Something like that anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledAjax Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 Salah presumably didn't get enough appearances for Chelsea in 2014/15 to get a medal? Only the 3 according to records. But apparently Schwarzer got 0 league appearances in 2014/15, and left for a free in the winter window...yet he got a medal and Salah didn't? It looks like Schwarzer and Salah were in the same boat in 2014/15 - and so really by your criteria @BS4 on Tour... both should be considered to have won the league that season. See: https://www.espn.co.uk/football/chelsea/story/2450893/jose-mourinho-every-chelsea-player-to-get-prem-medal. Quote as follows: Jose Mourinho has said that Chelsea will make replica medals so everyone that played for the first-team this season is rewarded for their title win. Wolfsburg's Andre Schurrle having already revealed that Mourinho had texted him to say he had won a medal for his contribution earlier this season before he left in January. But, while Premier League rules over the number of games needed to get a medal have been relaxed this season, there are still only 40 on offer for players and coaching staff. The Portuguese revealed that the champions plan to give out medals to the entire 2014-15 squad. "Not all of them will get an official medal. But yes, we are going to buy medals," Mourinho said. "We are going to buy replicas of the cup. And, obviously, for me the champions are those who played every minute like John Terry, but also people like [Mark] Schwarzer who were not involved." Mourinho also stated that Schwarzer and Schurrle are just one of a number of former players invited back for the club's last match and player of the year dinner. "Yes. Him, [Mohamed] Salah, Schwarzer, Lewis Baker... all of them who started the season with us. They have been invited to the last match and the Player of the Year dinner. They belong to us. We are not sure they can. Lewis can. The others we're not sure, but at least they know we feel they belong to the title." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schwarzer was apparently in the match day squad much more than Salah in that season, not sure if that is true but it would make sense because a sub goalie is hardly ever gonna get a game but if he’s in every match day squad then he deserves a medal ...

Right...but neither were given a medal by the League. The only medal they got was the one Chelsea bought/had made for them. Chelsea determined that they both deserved a medal (along with Lewis Baker whoever he is). I accept that there's way more important things to get het up about, but your statement that "they are the only eleven players to win the premier league with two different clubs" is incorrect whichever way you cut it. Either Schwarzer didn't win the league in 2014/15, or if he did, then Salah did as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed the trivia BS4. It was a great question. Who cares if he officially did or didn't, it was a bit of fun. Good to discuss the finer points of the medal/winning the title, i do like a thread that expands naturally from the op, seems on this occasion it didn't go so well when it did!
