I saw this question and i could never get the answer.

Who is the only player to score in the Old Firm, Mersyside, Manchester and London derby. I know London is quite vague but that is what it said. Gives you plenty of clubs to choose from though!

Well if the answer that's usually given is correct, then the only two players to have even played in the derbies in Manchester, Glasgow and Merseyside are Andrei Kanchelskis and Michael Ball, and neither of them have played for any London clubs.

Maybe they're including some lesser Manchester derbies, there are plenty of teams in the area (plus Tranmere on Merseyside), but I wouldn't have a clue.

I believe that the question shouldn't include 'London' derby and the answer is Andrei Kanchelskis. Possibly the most commonly asked trivia question ever but quite a nifty little fact all the same!

If you exclude the Old Firm from the question, Brian Kidd and Nicolas Anelka are the two correct answers having scored in Liverpool, Manchester and North London derby matches.

Thought I had it there, but Ray Wilkins never played in the Merseyside derby.

If you include dundee in it at the expense of london can you have duncan ferguson?

and richard gough? he is london though but at the expense of manchester.

I have heard of one for a load of the major English derbies.

It was Paul Stewart and it was London, Manchester, Liverpool, North East and West Country or something like that.

Paul Stewart never played in a Manchester derby. He did do the Merseyside, North London and North-East derbies, probably Blackpool-Preston and the Stoke-Port Vale clashes as well.

He did score for Man City against Oldham, if that counts.

I don't know about you Yoss, but I've never referred to a match against Oldham, Bolton, Wigan, etc as a "derby".

Thats why i ended the post with 'Something like that'. Was not exactly sure.

No, me neither. But the Manchester Evening News does, and you probably wouldn't put it past the setters of obscure trivia questions either.

Spitting hairs even further, Manchester United play in Salford so any game between City and Oldham, Bury, Stockport etc should be viewed on the same level.
