I would say Torres but I might be wrong

Beats me. Firmino

I think it might be Cahill.

Wild guess of Di Canio

This I should know. Big Dunc was injured and suspended a lot so I
suspect it is not him. Gallagher only had a couple of great seasons.
So I say McAllister. But I might be misled there as some of his
exploits were pre-EPL

Robbie Keane ?

Has to be Henry, followed by Anelka, no ?

No clue.

Lungberg ?

Ayew ?

I suspect I did very badly on this.

ciao, Bruce without looking at the other posts...

5 actually. Torres, Keane, Henry, Ljungberg, and Yeboah were all correct.

7/9

You missed Italy. Still the best score!

Btw, it's Ljungberg. Actually, the "L" is completely silent, and the "j" is
pronounced as the "y" in "Yale".

All English commentators pronounced it Lung-berg. Why should we believe you over them?

[Werner Pichler]

That’s probably just how they pronounce it in Bodens!

Ciao,

Hey we actually have someone from your neck of the woods playing for the
Flames (and doing quite well) this season. Elias Lindholm, youngest
Swede ever to score in the NHL.

[anders t]

The son of Mikael Lindholm (ex-NHLer) who played two seasons, 93-95, in
Bodens IK (Ishockeyklubb). Elias was born while the father played for BIK.
So probably "Made In Boden"!
