A few years back I set myself the task of trying to find connections from the Manchester City’s first competitive game in 1890 through to the Premier League successes of today.
The idea was to see how few players I could find to form a chain through the decades.

The idea was that each player had to have played alongside the next one on the list and also the previous one.
Can you work out how many players and also can you provide your own chain, naming players that fit the criteria?
