Can anyone name a player to have played for Everton, Arsenal and Norwich City?

Tubey · February 25, 2017

The answer is no one.

Definitive list here: http://www.ex-canaries.co.uk/clubs/everton.htm

and:

No players cross. Only Bruce Rioch but as manager.

John Ruddy when Wenger makes him his last signing.

Gerry Peyton also overlaps due to being on Evertons books at one point and being a coach for Arsenal, but obviously doesn't fulfil criteria.

Not really bothered if I'm honest o_O

If you ask this question in 10 years time, the correct answer will be Ross Barkley.

thanks everyone. I had researched as much as I could but couldn't find one, so was asking the experts on here in order to confirm that indeed there wasn't one. Bruce Rioch is the closest though. cheers.

Does it seem a bit odd though that there isn't, looking at it statistically? Pick us, another big club, and a medium club and try to find a common player? eg with the original question, swap Norwich for an equivalent size club eg Middlesbrough, Sheff Utd, Watford - how easy is it to find a player to have played for us, Arsenal and one of those three clubs?! NB - there may not be answer...!

I thought maybe Keown but he just looked like he should have come from Norwich....

You should have asked that question earlier! I went through the Everton Encyclopedia this morning checking the other clubs section, it has short bio's on all our players up to something like the 2012 season.
