We're gutted to lose Klaassen

Anyway, it means CLUB CAPTAINS, not people that have been Captain once or twice.

The OS has a list.

The Blues have had 46 appointed Club captains, from the very first in the Club's history, Nick Ross - to current day skipper, Phil Jagielka.

[bluesb1970]

Good point. I wonder if Gravesen or Carsley or Pistone or Pienaar or some such player did?

Yobo?

 

[Goat]

So just Peter Farrell then...

NO!!

Ireland was defo still British when he played, even if people like to think its not now!

 

[SteveSC]

NO!!

Ireland was defo still British when he played, even if people like to think its not now!

He was born in 1922. The same year Ireland became a free state as in its independence from Britain.

He played for Everton starting in 1946.

 

[Librarian]

Yobo might have too.

He was vice captain wasn't he? So chances are he served as Captain

But Yobo's Englis...
...No wait, I always get him and Barkley mixed up

He was born in 1922. The same year Ireland became a free state as in its independence from Britain.

He played for Everton starting in 1946.

They salute the queen mate.

Pretty sure it was more like the middle finger to the queen for most. haha!!

I will grant you that the free state was not full separation.

 

[Ruairi77]

Farrell was the last Irish club captain, hopefully Coleman will be the next.

 

[Steve Wigan]

NO!!

Ireland was defo still British when he played, even if people like to think its not now!

He played for northern Ireland AND the Republic in 1946/7. Not at the same time of course!

 

[mezzrow]

Thought this was a Klassen thread. 'scuse me...

 

[CynicalBlue]

Let's say that Davy could be our first Dutch club captain.

 

[zandvoort blue]

Dunno. Add Cahill to that rogues gallery as well.

Arteta?

 

[Bluebonic]

Now lets focus on Davy K.

Alway upset me that he never got a proper farewell from us! If Mr. klassen is anywhere near as good as that guy was for us, he will be a hero!

 

[tim cahill]

So just Peter Farrell then...

The Irish are basically British anyway. They're just in denial.
Only joking!
