coprolite Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Another thread has seen John Stewart being mentioned as a player for several clubs. This got me wondering who has played for the most top division clubs, while they were in the top division. I expect it will be mostly modern mercenaries, and I think Billy Dodds has to be in the running here. So who is it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossBFaeDundee Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 (edited) Tony Watt (Celtic, Hearts, St Johnstone, Motherwell) and Greg Stewart (Dundee, Aberdeen (twice), Kilmarnock, Rangers) both on 4 clubs each. Watt's only 26, seems like the kind of guy who'll just keep hopping about, though likes a spell away from Scotland too.

coprolite Posted December 10, 2020 Author Share Posted December 10, 2020 I think Doddsy is on five for the three tayside minnows, the Dons and Rangers (RIP). I'm not sure that St Johnstone were in the top league when he was there, but i think they were because i saw him play; might have been a cup though. Also Partick but chances are they were less than top flight. Law of averages. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossBFaeDundee Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 (edited) Paul McGinn also on 4 (St Mirren, Dundee, Partick Thistle, Hibs). Bizarrely enough (imo) Paul McGowan is also at 4 as well (Celtic, Hamilton Accies, St Mirren, Dundee). Maybe 4 clubs isn't as crazy as I first thought.

Lee Erwin (Motherwell, Killie, Ross County, St. Mirren) has already clocked up 4, as well as spells in England and Iran and is only 26. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure they were all top tier at the time? Dons and Well excluded there's a lot of yo yo there. I just looked up Mixu (player not poster) on wiki because i thought he might be a conteder. Only four sadly, St Mirren in 1st division. Apparently his name's not even Mixu, it's mika-matti. Is wiki full of shit or is this right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Scottish press is to blame- Mika-matti was too complicated for them to write so they used Mixu which I think was a nickname 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although in his sand dancing days he was commonly referred to, round our way, as "suuuuuu-moh-oh" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
