Don't actually know the answer to this one but thought I'd throw it into the ring anyway. Follows on from another recently posted question a bit. Is there a player who has played in all the big 4 derby games in Britain, those being Celtic v Rangers, Liverpool v Everton, Man City v Man U & Arsenal v Spurs. The best I can come up with is 3 of them for Andrei Kanchelskis. Anyone come up with better ??

hmmm, can't think of anyone at the moment who might have played in all 4. Nick Barmby has played in 3 if you include Boro v Newcastle.

Christian Ziege has played in a lot of derbys:

Liverpool v Everton
Spurs v Arsenal
Boro v Newcastle
Inter v AC Milan
Bayern Munich v 1860 Munich

I don't think anyone has played in more derbys.

still can't come up with someone who's played in all of them, but i think Nicolas Anelka may have played in all of them except for the old firm game.
I can't remember off hand if he played in a Mersey derby while at Liverpool, but definitely played in a Manchester and North London derby.

The answer to my original question (North London, North-east (sun-newc) Manchester & Merseyside derbies) was Paul Stewart. Don't know if anyone else has done it.

Yeah I had Gazza as well. Maybe there ain't one who's done all 4.
