A Foot in Two Camps - they played for both rivals

ENGLAND & WALES

1. Cumbrian Derbies
Cumbria is one of England's largest ceremonial counties, but also one of the most sparsely populated. The two major footballing towns are Carlisle and Barrow-in-Furness, which are over 60 miles apart. Even still, Barrow was only annexed relatively recently, having previously been in the historical county of Lancashire. Located half-way between Carlisle and Barrow is Workington, who hosted League football from 1951 and 1977. It has been widely assumed that Workington failed re-election due to their remote location.

2. North-East Derbies

The big rivalry in the north-east of England is between Newcastle United and Sunderland, the Tyne-Wear Derby, but no Northern Ireland player has appeared for both of the stripey teams. Newcastle and Sunderland also have some history with Middlesbrough, with all three teams having spent most of their histories in the top two-tiers. The other north-east teams have lived their lives in the shadows of the big three while retaining their own local rivalries in the lower leagues.
