Started this thread a few years ago on one of the old forums, thought it would be worth starting again.

So what premiership players have been seen at Nene Park?

I seem to remember Dave Kitson (former reading striker) turned out for a team against us in our football league days (cant re-call who for though)

Can anyone think of any others?

Didn't we play Arsenal in a friendly, with Henry and a few other big names starring?

We also played Newcastle (there is a YouTube video somewhere) with Beardsley (amongst others) playing.

Danny Murphy turned out for Spurs in a pre-season friendly a few seasons ago.

Yeah we did, didnt go to either though unfortunately, although I had the video for the Newcastle game... Les Ferdinand, Faustino (sp?) Asprilla, Robert Lee.. are the ones I remember playing.

In league games, because if we're counting pre-season games then the list is endless:

Craig Fagan with Colchester, now with Hull.
Greg Halford with Colchester, now at Wolves.
Joe Hart with Shrewsbury, now with Birmingham & England.
Clarke Carlisle with QPR, now at Burnley.
Michael Duff with Cheltenham, now at Burnley.
Wade Elliot with Bournemouth, now at Burnley.

I reckon we have played against Leon Cort too, who is now at Burnley.

He played for Liverpool in the prem, and at a guess i'd say he played for Notts County. I always get him confused with Willy Gueret.

Matt Derbyshire on loan for Wrexham? I know he played against us at the racecourse.

Paul Furlong for QPR 8-)

The whole Leeds team in the FA Cup game ;)

There is a load more but those are off the top of my head :|
