10 Footballers To Play For Both Newcastle And Southampton
Alan Shearer is obvious... but can you guess the rest?
Who would you rather play for if you were a professional footballer? Newcastle United or Southampton? The Magpies offers a chance to play in front of 52,000 adoring fans, wear the famous black-and-white stripes and join the Mike Ashley rollercoaster ride that doesn't tend to slow down. Southampton can give you the opportunity to work with one of the finest midfielders ever to have played the game (Ronald Koeman... not Steven Davis), play European football and have Graziano Pelle as your wingman. Tough call? It's remarkable to think that Southampton were playing League One football in 2010 and now they're a more prosperous employer than Newcastle. The Saints are strong favourites to win the first match of the 2015-16 Barclays Premier League season against the Magpies this Sunday (1.30pm kick-off) and continue to build on their seventh-place finish last year. Over the past 30 years, some players have had the luxury of playing for both sides and here at WhatCulture.com/NUFC we take a look at the 10 footballers who have donned the black and white, as well as the red and white, stripes. Can you guess them all before you look? One could play on Sunday...
