I mean Tony Watt :lol: Definitely remember Volz playing for
Fulham... And I think scoring the 10000th PL goal?

Edit: 15,000th!

On 30 December 2006, he went on to score the 15,000th goal in Premier League history for Fulham against Chelsea.[13] Inevitably, this feat gave birth to the new nickname '15,000 Volz'. As he scored that goal, Volz donated £15,000 to three charitable organisations: Kick 4 Life, The Prince's Trust, and Fulham Football Club's Community charity.[14][15] In July 2008, Volz was awarded PPF Community Champion Award, which is associated with The Observer newspaper.

I remember Tony Watt as the Celtic fans sang "you what you what" at him.

Tried some two routes of English players who played for Celtic but no dice.

Ah yes that's the guy, wasn't he about 17 at the time?

There's probably a Graveson link in there

My Everton timeline was screwed, with me first thinking Beattie played with Seamus, and then that he must have played with Baines.

Tim Cahill
Seamus Coleman
Idrissa Gueye
Gianluigi Donnarumma

Beattie -> Big Vic Anichebe -> Salomon Rondon -> Idrissa Gana Gueye -> Marquinhos -> Fabian Ruiz

I did the same as @Goaljira and thought Beats played with Seamus! That was my one life.

I also thought Gana might have played with Ruiz when he was at PSG but apparently not.
