Oh well, that's that then.

Back when I was a kid, even into my early 20s, I could tell you who any player you'd care to name played for. Naturally there wasn't the saturation of football on TV that we have now, but what was on I watched religiously, be it foreign or English, international or domestic. Never missed MoTD. Ever.
For whatever reason - well many reasons really, many linked to the way money has ruined the game - that enthusiasm is long dead. I don't think I've sat and watched an entire episode of MoTD for probably getting on for 10 years or so. The last time I watched it regularly was when Des was in the hot seat. I don't watch any of the Prem live on TV unless I happen upon it, or I'm in a pub where it's on, and even then it's without any real interest.
If you named me 20 less well known players from the Prem I might get 5 of the clubs they play at right at best, so I'm not surprised I've not heard of someone from outside.
He could be as well rated at Messi for all I know.
