Players who crossed the divide
Some of the best rounds in The Connection pair two clubs whose fans would never want to share a player. Here are the moves between rivals that come up in the game.
Sol Campbell: Tottenham Hotspur to Arsenal
Campbell captained Tottenham before joining Arsenal on a free transfer in 2001. He won two Premier League titles at Arsenal, including the unbeaten 2003–04 season. For Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and England, he is the answer most people reach first.
Carlos Tevez: Manchester United to Manchester City
Tevez won the Premier League and the Champions League at Manchester United, then moved across the city in 2009. City celebrated with a "Welcome to Manchester" billboard. He also played for West Ham United, so he links all three clubs for Argentina.
Michael Owen: Liverpool to Manchester United
Owen came through Liverpool's academy and won the Ballon d'Or there in 2001. After spells at Real Madrid and Newcastle United, he signed for Manchester United in 2009 and won the league title in 2010–11.
Peter Schmeichel and Owen Hargreaves: United to City
Schmeichel won five league titles with Manchester United and later played a season for Manchester City. Hargreaves made the same move in 2011. That gives you two different answers for Manchester United, Manchester City, depending on whether the country is Denmark or England.
Emmanuel Adebayor: Arsenal, City and Spurs
Adebayor left Arsenal for Manchester City in 2009, then joined Tottenham Hotspur in 2011. That makes him the answer for any pairing of the three clubs with Togo.
Fernando Torres: Liverpool to Chelsea
Torres left Liverpool for Chelsea in January 2011 in a transfer that set a British record at the time. At Chelsea he won the Champions League and the FA Cup, and he links the two clubs for Spain.
Ashley Cole: Arsenal to Chelsea
Cole was part of Arsenal's unbeaten side and moved to Chelsea in 2006, where he stayed for eight seasons. He is the classic answer for Arsenal, Chelsea and England.
