    The Guardian's Secret Footballer has started up a website, thesecretfootballer.com. On it there is a secret physio, psychologist, fan and pundit. The Secret Pundit says in his description he is 'a current premier league player... [who] started out as a striker.'

    So, other than Alan Smith, can anybody think of any premier league players who were formerly strikers, and also played 'alongside as well as against some of the great names,' and could therefore be TSPundit?

    These guys were all strikers when they were about 12, I was thinking more pros who played as strikers and then moved backwards...

    Bellamy, now a winger, was a striker.

    Ward was a striker, now a full-back for Wolves.

    Davide Santon started as a striker and gradually moved back!

    I think I read it's David James, he was talking about abuse from when he signed to Liverpool, and mentioned Bristol where he's at now.
