    Currently playing with a top-six team; he holds the Premiership record of most consecutive appearances, amassing 226 games over six seasons.

    During this period he held onto his first-team place, remained injury and suspension free.

    In his early career he was signed by both Brian Clough and Kevin Keegan, but never played a competitive match under either.

    I'll guess at Brad Friedel but the Clough/Keegan bit has thrown me.

    I would have said Friedel, but again the Managers in questions have put a moment of doubt in my mind.

    Sure I remember Matt Holland playing a crazy amount of games in a row.

    Clough and Keegan bit threw me as well

    It is Friedel. He was signed by Clough for Forest, and Keegan for Newcastle, but couldn't get a work permit either time.

    Strangely enough, when his move to Forest fell through, he signed a contract with the US National federation, and played exclusively for the national team without actually having a club side.

    Brad Friedel has I think played more than 300 (he was my first choice)

    Spot on Willy!

    Made this one up myself when I was trying to establish the most reliable player.

    Does anyone else have any more 'Name the Players' to pose?

    Nope - i like the Bob Marley answer - i think that's what i plonked for when asked this question in a pub quiz. Gil Scott Heron's father, Gil Heron, was the first black player to player for Celtic in the 1950's.
