Explanation

Stuart Pearce started at non-league Wealdstone (stones), moved to Coventry (Sky Blues), then Nottingham Forest (Tricky Tree) where he became a legend over 12 years, was relegated as player-manager, moved to Newcastle (Magpie), ended at West Ham (Iron), and had promotion with Manchester City (citizen). Lee Dixon, Viv Anderson, and Ian Wallace don't match this career path.
