Going back a bit.

Stan Matthews, Stoke, Blackpool. Neither were actually giants. But he was.

He won the league twice with Everton and more than a few finals when Everton were massive and competing with Liverpool.

Not sure they were giants and he was an ardent fan. But I did know they were pretty big. He's not exactly Dixie Dean. He used to drive fans to the games himself.
I was thinking goalies one of the more likely ones to have served one club.

Mick Channon did well while staying most of his career at Southampton. Got quite a few caps.
Stan Bowles was a great character. Right boozer though.
Le Tissier was loyal till the end. Maverick players often stay in their comfort zone.

 

Following Palace since 25 Feb 1978

I agree with those who said, Frank Worthington and Stan Bowles, both naturally gifted players who were great to watch when I was a kid.
Worthington scored one of my all time favourite goals while playing for Bolton, he flicked the ball over his head and outwitted practically the whole Ipswich team as they ran out and he slotted it home, google it.
Also those that said Matt Le Tissier is a good call, much as I hated him because he was arrogant and wound opposition fans up, he was class and scored some great goals

I was thinking that you couldn't include West Ham as they believe (wrongly) that they're footballing giants. Leeds the same.

i agree with you about West Ham. But Leeds were big in the 1970's.

our own Andy Johnson was an England international when we were down in the Championship. Signed for Everton who are not really a giant.

if i recall correctly , both him and Bolasie went to Everton and suffered much injuries thereafter.

 

Kayla did Anfield & Old Trafford
