Ex-RDFC players seen in the Premiership

Post by ID »

A little reversal of the other thread ;)

Caleb Folan is the only player I can think of who has gone onto Premier League (and international) football.

Any others?

He got back to me initially to say he would be happy to do it, but I haven't heard from him after I sent him the actual questions (twice). :(

I'm certain Folan, Ashdown, and Feuer are the only ones. Well, 99.9% sure. Now i've said that i'll undoubtedly be proved wrong.

I happen to think there is a good chance Billy Sharp and Simeon Jackson will play at that level at some point though.

Alan Blayney made 3 premier league appearences from 2002-2006 for Southampton, how many of those were after he joined us in 2005 i don't know. I suspect none.

He did indeed, 3 appearances for West Ham followed by 2 while on loan at Derby from Wimbledon.
