Locky Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Got in to reading this magazine over the last few months and have been reading the secret player column in every issue. But i've been wondering for ages now who it is. The clues we get is that he has played in all 4 English divisions and for his country. My guess was always Robert Earnshaw but don't think he fits the bill in terms of age as he has only been playing professional football for 13 years. I Googled it and found a discussion about it on the Liverpool forum, where a lot of posters seem to be pretty certain that it's Herman Hreidarsson. However, when you read most of the columns it just doesn't seem like it would be a player like Hreidarsson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC_Trotski Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Reading it the other day there (think it's an issue a couple of months old though) I got the feeling it was Andy Cole. just checked online and he has played in every division and for Ingland.

Locky Posted November 27, 2011 Author Share Posted November 27, 2011 Bobby Zamora He's only been in professional football since 1999 so still a few years off. But would have been a good shout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locky Posted November 27, 2011 Author Share Posted November 27, 2011 I heard Warren Barton,not sure if he has playrd in.4 divisions though. Top column though. I think he only missed out one league from what I can see. It's a very interesting column, but there was one I didn't like a few months back where he was slating supporters who moan at players. TBH I feel supporters have the right to say what they want as the club would be nothing without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday's was an interesting (and sadly topical) piece on depression in sport Secret Footballer in the Guardian May well be but the Guardian one seems to talk more about football, the one from FourFourTwo seems to talk a lot more about behind the scenes stuff and tell stories from his personal experience.

Locky Posted November 27, 2011 Author Share Posted November 27, 2011 Stan Collymore ? He would certainly match the egotistic side of things. This columnist seems to have a slight attitude problem, hence why I didn't think it would be someone like Hreidarsson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davesmith Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Jason Roberts. Apparently Blackburn fans reckon he is a stick on for the Guardian one and don't rule him out of doing both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommythejambo Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I actually like the article, it's a good insight into what its actually like to be a pro footballer. Not got a scooby who it is though. Is he not still playing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
