    Not a bad starting 11 for a PL team. All players started life in non league.

    I'd have had Ian Wright first on the list.

    I assumed they were current players.

    Callum Wilson definitely didn't start life in non league, he's never been at a non league club. He went through Coventry's academy before moving to Bournemouth.

    He was never actually a non-league player though, he was a league footballer who played a handful of games on loan when he was 18.

    Slack then from the author, there must be another striker in the PL who has played non-league.

    True, but I was more pointing out to Hat that he had played at a non league club!

    "he's never been at a non league club."

    It's cut and paste from Topps non league to PL.

    I didn't check because frankly I couldn't be arsed. Wilson, whilst only on loan to non league has certainly had to prove himself at that level.

    Good call, there's a player who's gone from the 12th tier to the Premier League.

    Well yeah, I didnt for one second think you'd created the list, that's why I said "the author".

    If he couldnt get a move in the summer after just setting the PL alight then I very much doubt anyone will sign him now. Everybody in the game knows he's fooked, sadly.

    I think Newcastle or Villa would take a gamble given how dire their current positions look.

    Just a question. But do you always respond in this manner which, if we're being honest makes you sound like a complete cock? Just asking.

    I responded to clarify so you didnt think I was having a go at you as "the author". I was being nice and not cock like in the slightest.
