8). Could it be Zlatan Ibrahimovic as he's mid 30s now and joined "them" in 2016??

Not him Rich

[BobHirst]

Correct Leon.

One of the worst holders, grabbers, pushers, shovers that I have seen.
Hated him.

[BobHirst]

Googled number 11.
I would never have got it.
Villa and ???

[BobHirst]

10. Villa?

[gessa]

10. Villa?

Not Villa Bob

[1964white]

Not him Paddy. ..One from the vault there mate.

Ges are you sure Burridge wasn't the oldest player to make his debut in the premiership as Paddy first posted up? That was the answer I had in mind....I know he was in his early 40's when he played for either Man City or Newcastle. If not I'm absolutely stumped on that one !

[1964white]

Doing my utmost to go through these in numerical order although I fear No.8 maybe wrong

I have narrowed No.10 down to three less fashionable clubs as the likes of Chelsea, Scum, Citeh, Arsenal & Celtic have all come unstuck to achieve this feat

So I'm guessing it is one of these three clubs :

Aberdeen, Dundee United or Ipswich Town who all had their moment in the European Cup

Leeds could have achieved this feat in 1975 semi-final when we beat them at ER 2-1 but then drew 1-1 at the Nou Camp which sent us through to the robbery of that year v Bayern Munich

11. Villa and Norwich.

I also thought that John Burridge would have been the oldest player to play in the Prem.

So that's three of us Gandi

Villa , Norwich are correct.

[gessa]

Ok, just gone back to the question and the place I got the questions from is still giving me the same answer, on looking into it, the answer is wrong, Burridge is the correct answer. The only thing i can think of is that the question was incomplete, it may should have read, who is the oldest outfield player to make is debut, but I can't find anything to collaborate the answer to this.

So in essence, Paddy is correct with Burridge.

I think "debut" is the key word in the question. I think that Burridge was goalkeeper coach at Man City, and played a couple of games when they had an injury crisis. However, he had previously played in the Prem for Newcastle when he was younger.
