Cricket & Football Trivia

Carlton Cole played as a striker for West Ham United in the Premier League. He spent several seasons at West Ham (2006-2013) and was their main striker during that period. Cole never played for Aston Villa or Manchester City in the Premier League, and Bayern Munich is a German club, not in the Barclays Premier League.

Sol Campbell famously made a controversial move from Tottenham Hotspur to Arsenal in 2001, which angered Spurs fans because Arsenal was their arch-rival. The question refers to him joining his former club - Campbell actually started his career at Tottenham, then moved to Arsenal, and later had a second spell at Arsenal (2010). Note: Option A has a typo (Manchetser should be Manchester). Campbell never played for Manchester United or Hull City.

David Beckham's career path matches this sequence exactly: he began at Manchester United (1992-2003), transferred to Real Madrid (2003-2007), and was loaned to AC Milan in 2009. Ronaldo joined Real Madrid directly from United, and the others never played for all three clubs.

Danny Welbeck went on loan to Preston North End from Manchester United in 2010-11 to gain first-team experience. This loan spell was part of United's practice of developing young players in lower leagues. Southend United, Hull City, and Burnley did not host Welbeck during this period.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored 42 goals for Manchester United in the 2007-08 season, setting a Premier League record at the time.

Carlos Tevez played for Manchester City from 2009 to 2013, becoming a key player and captain. He famously moved directly from Manchester United to City, which intensified the rivalry between the clubs. Arsenal and Chelsea were never his clubs.
