Think Budgie remains my second fav keeper after Parkes. His pre-match warm-ups were priceless

Back in deep lockdown I was the quizmaster of a zoom QPR v Spurs Football Trivia Quiz. One round was name the player from the clubs he played for. Budgie’s list went on for ever and really perplexed people when the Scottish teams started being mentioned. Eventually someone got it. Then I asked a similar question about an ex-Spurs player. No one got it.
The mystery man’s previous clubs were Arsenal, Spurs, Coventry, Wolves, QPR (loan), Barnsley, Toronto, Diosgyori (Hungary), Dacia Chisnau (Moldova), Wilhelmshaven (Germany), Shamrock Rovers, Exeter City, Dempo (India), Quevedo (Ecuador), PTT Rayong (Thailand), Eastern Sports Club (Hong Kong), Abahani (Bangladesh), Leatherhead, Masters FA (Canada). Totalling a mere twenty but a fair bit of mileage.
Answers on a postcard.

Could that be the midfield maestro that was Rohan Ricketts?

I'd forgotten all about Trevor Benjamin, didn't Gerry try to sign him for us at one point?

He crops up on Undr the Cosh quite a bit because... - He's boss-eyed, and can't see without thick-rim glasses, which perhaps explains the finishing - He's proficient in martial arts and once absolutely ended Stan Collymore in the dressing room at half time of a Leicester reserve game - Enormous dong.

I read Burridge's book, and he may well be a nice chap, but he doesn't come across as such in his own book. It's always a bit of a joke about how many clubs he had, but the reason is laid bare by himself. He fell out with a lot of managers, most of the time over money. His speciality was to sign for a top Division Two club, then after promotion immediately demand a large pay increase and get angry when it wasn't given, and try and sign for another club who'd pay him more. Rinse and repeat. At first you're mildly sympathetic, but when he fals out with the 8th manager you think - mate, it's not them, is it? Think the only one he ever liked was Venners and they crossed paths at both Palace and QPR, although not for long on either occasion. Extremely odd man.
Bare bones.

That's whatsisname. Did all of the media stuff before Paul arrived iirc. Always came across as good bloke - he's still around on match days I think?
Antonio German's a local lad who's got a good colourful set of clubs under his belt - Kerala Blasters etc

Billy Rice! Rangers through and through, left quite some years ago though, there was definitely someone who did the media stuff between him and Paul Morrissey...Ian Taylor for one. Not sure if Ian replaced Billy.
I always thought Pacquette would make it, he certainly got a fair few goals in 02/03, but never got a look in in 03/04 behind Thorpe/Gallen/Furlong then Cureton.

Billy Rice was also the chap on the microphone at Loftus Road the day they revealed the new badge. The mic packed up for Briatore and came to life just in time to play Billy muttering 'Oh fu*k...' to 15,000 people.

Surely the only footballer in history to have a question mark in the appearance column (see Fisher Athletic).
"Oh yeah, so, a bloke turned up at training this one time who referred to himself as Richard, but no one was sure it was actually Richard *Pacquette*..."
If I could be bothered, I would alter his Wikipedia page so the question mark in the appearance column remains, but I would add one goal in the Fisher Athletic goals column

"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."
