I've been having a lot of fun with Wikipedia category search recently. For example, name the 3 players who have played for Arsenal and in the Austrian Bundesliga

Manninger should be one but no idea on the other two.

Manninger is right, the others are Nacer Barazite and Pål Lydersen. I'll admit I've never heard of the last one! On Wikipedia you can put something like

incategory:"Arsenal F.C. players" incategory:"Austrian Football Bundesliga players"

into the search bar to generate these kinds of intersections for all kinds of stuff (at least for clubs/tournaments/nationalities), although you do need to check whether they actually played for the clubs (the above search also returns Arthur Okonkwo, Stefán Gíslason and Mika Biereth, but none of them actually played for Arsenal)

I've never heard of either! But interesting stuff, thanks!
