Who am I ?( Very easy edition)

[Modo]

Please use a SPOILER tag so that others can guess as well

I was born in the south of England and I started my senior career playing for my hometown team's fiercest rival.
I'm a midfielder and I spent most of my career in the Premier League, 13 seasons to be exact. During that time I only played for two teams.

I've played with Christian Ziege, Jermaine Pennant, Emile Heskey, Jamie Redknapp and Salif Diao, but I've never played for Liverpool FC.

I played for England in two major competitions and I finished my career playing for my hometown team's other rival.

Who am I?

This hint will make it even more obvious so, don't look unless you think I'm being too vague

Spoiler: Hint

I've also played with Robbie Keane, John Scales and Neil Ruddock

Frank played for more than two teams in the premier league and I can't really confirm or deny your second statement.

Born in South of England...only 2 clubs and were the fiercest rivals.

So a midfielder who played for both Portsmouth and Southampton/Spurs around the mid-late naughties then....must be a pretty known player too if he's played for England at 2 tournaments. Mmmh....

Or it can be someone who played for a Portsmouth and a Spurs?

 

[the count]

An England international who played most of his career at just two clubs but had brief stints in Scotland and Canada.
His highest honour was winning the FA Cop at age 38.
Who is he?

Leeds and Spurs?

 

[binomial]

Leeds and Spurs?

They're not hometown rivals are they....

It can only be someone who played for 2 of his hometown's rivals....so it's a bournemouth/southampton/portsmouth connection. I'm thinking born in Bournemouth and played for the other 2 only....but I can't think of anyone that's just played for those 2.

Made a small change to the original post.

Well look at the hint, those players did not play for any of the South East Clubs

What hint? There's a fucking hint???? This must be like a new forums thing.

Shiiiiit! How do you add a hint on here? But more importantly how do you not remember where we signed Razor Ruddy from??

And those clubs are south coast not south east.

Played with PL greats such as Heskey and Diao but never got to experience what it was like to wear the famous red.

From what I recall, a fine player who was constantly disrupted with injuries.

Yo not many players can score over 50 goals for the club and there’s been far greater players that have never won anything with us unlike Diao. Absolutely greats, all time greats in fact!!!! Generational talents!!!!

No, that version of Who Am I would go a little like this;

I played for a small south east London Club, it was the only club I’ve played at, I was the captain for …however many years (don’t think anybody really cares) but ultimately never managed to play for my country because everybody knew I was ABSOLUTELY DOGCRAP.
