Who Has Scored For Six Premier League Clubs

[Dusty Bin]

On Sat. 28th Dec. 2013, Nicolas Anelka scored for WBA and joined an elite group of players that have scored for 6 Premier League clubs.

Who are the other players that have achieved this feat?

[redman41]

Nick Barmby, Ashley Ward, Stan Collymore, Les Ferdinand, Mark Hughes, Andy Cole, Teddy Sheringham, Craig Bellamy, Dwight Yorke, Marcus Bent and Chris Sutton.

[Dusty Bin]

Ashley Ward? Against 6 PL teams? I doubt it!

Can you name them?

[Dusty Bin]

Chris Sutton has only played for 5 PL clubs, so you can wipe him off the list as well!

[Dusty Bin]

...and Sheringham has only played for 4.

[Zacs-Master]

Sheringham has played for Forest, Spurs, Man U, west ham & Portsmouth, I believe.

[Dusty Bin]

Collymore did score in the PL for 5 clubs and got a goal in the League Cup for a sixth PL team, so within the wording of my question, I guess he makes the list.

I should have asked who has scored in the English Premier League for 6 different clubs I suppose.

Thanks for the link, humbersloop.

Further to Zacs-Master's post, Sheringham did play for Forest, but before the formation of the Premier League.

Sheringham did (briefly) play for Forest in Premier League. He scored their first PL goal (also the first goal ever shown live on Sky Sports) in August 1992

He only ever scored for 5 PL teams though

Nick Barmby (Tottenham Hotspur, Middlesbrough, Everton, Liverpool, Leeds United and Hull City)
Marcus Bent (Crystal Palace, Ipswich Town, Leicester City, Everton, Charlton Athletic, Wigan Athletic)
Les Ferdinand (Queens Park Rangers, Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United, Leicester, Bolton Wanderers)
Craig Bellamy (Coventry City, Newcastle, Blackburn Rovers, Liverpool, West Ham, Manchester City)
Andrew Cole (Newcastle, Manchester United, Blackburn, Fulham, Man City, Portsmouth)
Peter Crouch (Portsmouth, Aston Villa, Southampton, Liverpool, Tottenham, Stoke City)

[joeluke]

Robbie Keane (Coventry, Leeds, Tottenham, Liverpool, West Ham, Aston Villa)
Darren Bent (Ipswich, Charlton, Tottenham, Sunderland, Aston Villa, Fulham)

[Dusty Bin]

Thank you, joeluke for putting me straight on Sheringham...and for all the clubs for each of the other 8 members of the group that Anelka has now joined.

I wonder who will be the next to score in the EPL for a sixth club...

Any candidates?

I don't do speculation, only facts

^ Your 'facts' were wrong though

Ashley Ward, Stan Collymore, Mark Hughes, Teddy Sheringham, Dwight Yorke and Chris Sutton have NOT scored for 6 Premier League clubs.

Check your 'facts' before posting next time eh?
