The Spoiler

The Spoiler’s “Two stints at one club” XI


Including a certain Chuckle Brother…

Ian Rush

With Sol Campbell back at Arsenal, it got The Spoiler to thinking about all of the players who have returned to their old clubs for another stab at the big time. Below is a compiled team of those who couldn’t quite put the past behind them. 

Just missing the cut were: Robbies Fowler and Keane, Mark Hughes, Peter Crouch, David Dunn, Jermain Defoe, John Lukic, Paul Parker and Martin Keown. Can you think of any more? Let us know with a comment.

Already got excitable bouncing legs because you can’t wait for tomorrow’s football news? Chill out with these little teasers…

The whisper on the grapevine suggests that Kaka, a child of God, doesn’t much like Ronaldinho, his new club mate who looks like a cross between Chris Rock and a funny cartoon horse. Whether they can afford the £68 trillion price tag is a different matter.

Solano off to the Galaxy
West Ham’s inexplicable decision to release the only player who offered a pinch of creativity last season could benefit David Beckham’s side, LA Galaxy. Nobby’s agent has revealed that they have spoken to Ruud Gullit and the Dutch guy smiled and nodded when talk turned to Peruvians playing in America.
