Coming up on today's show... I've still got a couple of names up my sleeve.
Nah, you don't scare me like that. I've got a few up my sleeve as well.
Alan?
213, because 13's my lucky number. Fucking well is. 213.
Hang on a minute. Micah, have you said that you've done a quiz about top 10 Brazilians?
Was there some shenanigans going on here? If you would have listened to my answer. He's got a bit edgy there, a bit touchy looking.
You've seen him with his chin and everything. One more Brazilian name for the money.
I'm not saying you're wearing that list. But he is in that list. Not going to be Bartonelli, is he?
Hello and welcome to the Rest is Football quiz episode. I know you like them with Alan Shearer, Micah Richards and me, Gary Lineker. I'm playing host again because I love having the answers in front of me, to be perfectly honest. Well, we've had some cliffhangers over the last few weeks and this is the last quiz that we'll do before... We head out to the World Cup, but we're recording this before the last game of the Premier League season. So if these statistics do change slightly, I suspect they won't. We'll bear that in mind, please. Right, you ready for the subject matter, Chad? Let's go. Yes, please. The most Brazilian appearances in the Premier League. And I'm not talking about that thing where they shave you completely, okay?
LAUGHTER
I'm talking about footballers, all right?
Do you want to go first this time, Alan?
Yes. I'll go first. So Brazilian players, of which there have been a lot, I've got the top 20 in front of me. Okay. And I think there are some that you'll definitely get, and then others might be a tad trickier, as always with this quiz. I think I'm all right on this. Have you got a few names in your head, Mike, already? Yeah, I've got a few. I've got a few, yeah.
Yeah. Alan? Got a few, yeah. Yeah. Straight away, I think. Who's going first? Was it Mike who went first last time?
You're going first, Alan, I think. We've decided that already. Get with it. Okay. Edison. Edison, the Manchester City goalkeeper. Edison is in second place. And as always with this, if you can give me the correct number of appearances in the Premier League, you'll get an extra point and you get first go at that. How long was he at City for, Big Meeks? Pellegrini's last season.
So probably 2016, 17, around there. So he's done, he did about... Six, seven seasons at least, eh?
Are you trying to help him, Micah?
Yeah, but this is early doors.
Edison's going to be in there, so I don't mind helping him on this. Well, Edison is in there.
Who are the Brazilian players with the most Premier League appearances?
I've already told you that. Oh. He's in second place. Second. I just want the number of... 250.
250, Micah.
251.
You do realize it's not a nearest to competition. You've got to be exact. So that's not going to help you, even though it is higher than what Alan said. But it's not one higher. It's 27 higher. 277 games. I think the thing about Edison, not only was he a great goalkeeper, but I think he was known as much for what he did with his hands as he did with his feet.
Did you see what Pep said? I think it was yesterday in his press conference that he regretted not giving Joe Hart more of a chance, which was interesting because it was Bravo who replaced Joe Hart. Bravo did okay, but not the level that he fought. Then he goes and gets Edison. And like you said, Gaz, he just, he took goalkeeping to the next level. He could play outfield. He had that ping, you know, that half volley.
Yeah.
Really good, really good half volley technique. Yes, where he just used to drop it just off the floor and swazz it across. And then just his calmness on the ball as well. I feel as though he definitely changed the way goalkeepers were viewed. He had quite a lot of assists, didn't he? Yeah, in the Premier League, yeah, for sure.
But he was also a bloody good goalkeeper as well, keeping the ball out of the net. Unbelievable. It was fantastic. He was a great presence. And he's even greater because he's got you a point.
So he was second, did you say?
Second, yeah. Micah, over to you.
I'll go with another ex-teammate, Fernandinho.
