    Is 7 Villa and Everton? Pretty sure on MOTD a few years back it was mentioned that they'd met a certain amount of times, whether it was 100 or not though I can't remember.

    5 being top flight, I presume that means before and including the Prem era? If Prem era only I'd say Dwight Yorke, if top flight in general then no idea.

    Wouldn't Dave Watson be one of them. Not sure who it is instead of - Mick Mills possibly.

    When I came across this question I thought exactly the same thing - and I think we could claim to have found the 7th England captain in that team - but Watson last played for them in 1981 and left for Stoke in January 1982

    Not Benali - the answer is a real donkey, although he played for England 18 times
