I've seen the discussion about including the likes of John Terry and Steven Gerrard in the list. A one-club man is a one-club man and if he represented the club for 10 years or more he should be included even if he's still young. Besides both players have on many occations explained their desire to stay at their respective clubs until the end of their careers.
A little note: Steven Gerrard is indeed included but John Terry is missing.

Johhny Haynes was noted as one club man in the media for Fulham, though played semi-pro in aparthaid Southa Africa in his late thirties and fourties, as many English players would do in the 70's — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.6.82.42 ( talk) 19:22, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
I would argue about the inclusion of a number of players in the second section. The obvious one, and one I have now removed, is Dennis Bergkamp. I appreciate that he has been at Arsenal for a very long time, but the implication that he had not made his name until he joined the club is silly. He was a professional for some 10 years before joining the Gunners and won a total of three major European trophies before joining the club (compared with none since joining Arsenal). I remember him being a huge name when he played for Ajax and Inter (also worth mentioning that he spent 7 years at Ajax). Rje 00:05, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Gianni Rivera played his early years in Alessandria, Giuseppe Baresi (brother of Franco) spent all his career in Internazionale, but the last two seasons in Modena, Mariolino Corso always played for Inter but the last season in Genoa, Giuseppe Giannini spent almost his whole career at Roma, Gigi Riva played his first season in Legnano before moving to Cagliari: it's really difficult to find a one club man!

Raul's barely turned 29. Isn't it a bit stupid to have him in the list, especially considering that he started his career at underage level with Athletico ? Niall123 17:43, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
In this case, I think only his relatively low age is an argument to not have him on the list. The fact that he spent 2 of his youth club years with Atlético Madrid shouldn't matter, imo, since he spent the 2 remaining youth years with Real Madrid, and has so far stayed with the latter for his entire professional career. -DraugenCP

There are too many players on this list, especially a few with less than 15 years, including one with only 9.

We really need to change the criteria for the players being listed. I'm sure as more and more people from different countries reaching this page, they will list the players in their countries, which I am sure will be thousands and thousands. Instead of setting a time served limit of 10 years, I suggest we simply list the top 100 players in order of most time served. If there is a tie for the amount of year served, a player who currently still plays always be listed ahead of the retired players. For example, currently Paolo Maldini will be at the top of the list by serving 24 years with AC Milan only, while still being active. By next month he would probably be top of the list outright by playing in his 25th season. Alcatrazhack ( talk) 13:28, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

I've made a couple of edits to the page, and have been reverted, mainly relating to Maldini but there's a wider issue here.
Whilst my opinion is that this list should be sorted from debut to final appearance, I do not object to the criteria being the date of signing professional terms to date of retirement if that's the consensus. But in either case, for this list to have any merit, whichever method is used should be applied consistently, and should be verifiable. In the case of Maldini, according to the sources in his article, he was a youth team player drafted into the first team due to an injury crisis in January 1985. On that basis, suggesting that he began his career in 1984 makes as much sense as saying that he started it in 1978. More generally, do we backdate all players who make their debuts in the second half of a season to the start of that season? If a player spends two years attempting to recover from an injury that ultimately ends his career, do we count those two years? 82.13.161.114 ( talk) 02:57, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
I have absolutely no idea why loan moves discount a player from inclusion in this list. A very casual search of this list will reveal plenty of players (Bartram, Camacho, Jack Barker) who played for a different youth team, or started at a different club, making an unknown number of appearances, before moving to the clubs that made them legends. Yet they still make this list. However, when a modern player moves to a club on loan, they do so with the approval of their original club, which retains their registration and can recall them as needed. In the case of many "one club men", a loan move was made early in a players career, at the behest of their parent club, in order to get them valuable first team experience. Such was the case with players like Alessandro Costacurta and John Terry, who remained back with their parent clubs (or still remain with them) ever since. I understand that this definition of a one club man is considered an arbitrary one by many leaving comments on this talk page, but I have no idea why a loan move, undertaken by a club that wants to keep a player and have them reach their potential without giving their rights up to another team, would discount a player from status as a one club man. I am sure in every case where this has happened, the player in question doesnt considered their loyalties divided between a club of 10 plus years, and one where they temporarily spent about 10 games. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.227.211.194 ( talk) 18:08, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

Maldini made his first league (Serie A) appearance during the 1984-85 season, so he has played for Milan for 25 seasons. He made his debut in January 1985, but it was in the 1984-85 season, so there are always 25 seasons. This is exactly the same case of Ryan Giggs of Manchester Utd, who made his first appearance during the 1990-91 season, with the league debut in 1991 of that season.-- 79.7.53.206 ( talk) 17:15, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
I think that the U.A. de G. team's capitan has been only in this team since 1998, so he could be elegible for this list
Interesting thought I was ruminating on in regards to the discussion over one-club men revolves around whether or not you remain a one-club man if your club radically changes but you do not leave. An example of this would be a hypothetical player who started their professional career with the San Jose Earthquakes in the MLS, and remained with the club after they moved to Houston, Texas, changed colours to orange and white, and renamed their club to the Dynamo. Although the Dynamo and the Quakes are considered to be different clubs (in fact there is now a different San Jose Earthquakes club that started after the move), would a player who survived such a move and never left be considered a one-club man? In MLS, where players are contracted through the league rather than the teams, would a player lose one-club man status by being selected in an expansion draft? Parallels, of course, exist in Europe, such as the rebranding of teams purchased by Red Bull, the moving and renaming of MK Dons, and the merger of clubs such as Dagenham and Redbridge. Interesting things to think about. DamionOWA ( talk) 10:36, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
I saw the same calculation was used no matter in what kind of leagues, while actually it should be different in countries like Russia, China, Norway, etc., who played summer leagues other than cross-year leagues. For exmaple, if one player served for a English club from 1980-1990, that's 10 years long. But if he played for a Russian club, that should be counted as 11.
I added 7 Chinese footballers served only club no less than 11 years, but if the different calculation could be allowed to use, I can add some more. Derekjoe ( talk) 05:52, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Alex Wilson Is said to have played for pompey for 18 years, but then moved to chelmsford. As they were non-pro he should be included too.
Reg Flewin Played for 16 years, with the 2nd world war in the middle. His pro contract was signed in 1939, and did play in some wartime games for pompey, then continued for 8 years after the war. An interesting one, I think he should be included (Though I would!)

His first match was Sinop 1 x 1 Caceres (1990) ( http://esporte.uol.com.br/futebol/biografias/20/rogerio-ceni/) The player himself feels ashemed because played in a small club, people say. If you search in Youtube for Rogerio Ceni Sinop you cand find further information.

Don't matter if the player is 16 or 40, Mato Grosso State League is a professional competition disputed by professional players. Rogerio Ceni definitely is not a one club men. His wikipedia page both in english and portuguese itself contradicts it. Only São Paulo supporters are interested in keeping their idol as "one club men". — Preceding

All "competitive" fixtures perhaps? Dirkbb ( talk) 15:06, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
The definition of a "one-club man" might be needed, but the list isn't needed, as it should be mentioned on the individual player’s wiki. This list can never be complete, if you consider the thousands of players in the lower leagues over the 100 years+ of football.
It seems just a folly for fans just to put up players, and then argue about them. The rule about 10 years is just arbitrary, why not 9, 11 or 13.345 years? The other arguments about youth teams, loan spells etc etc start. This list belongs on a football fan's discussion site, not here.

I would like to ask whether nominating Marcel Schreter (playing for FC Wacker Innsbruck) would be within the rules of the site, considering the following: He started his career playing for non-professional side SV Telfs (which has never been professional). In 2002, he left to join WSG Svarovski Wattens (then even an amateur side, formerly a professional side), who then fused with newly-founded FC Wacker Tirol to SPG Wattens/Wacker before he had played a single game. After promotion (having debuted that season), FC Wacker Tirol played in the second Austrian league (professional) - under the licence of Wattens as far as the ÖFB is concerned. FC Wacker Tirol later changed their name to FC Wacker Innsbruck and plays there to this day, having played for the club for the entire existence of the club. Considering the professional (prof league) debut was in 2003, would this make him eligible for the list for 2012 (10 years at the club), in 2013 (10 years in professional football with the club), or would he be disqualified altogether (3/4 amateur seasons for another team before "turning pro" resp. different naming of the clubs)?

As far as I can tell, Eddie Robinson is the only MLS player who could be considered a one-club man. The club he played for was known as the San Jose Earthquakes when he joined in 2001 before the team was relocated to Houston in 2006. The ownership group (AEG) and manager Dominic Kinnear remained the same in the move from San Jose to Houston. Robinson retired at Houston Dynamo in 2011. From the perspective of continuous ownership and play, he can be viewed as a one-club man. On the contrary, the Earthquakes wiki page [1] states "MLS declared that San Jose's name, colors, logo, wordmark, history and competitive records would not be transferred to Houston, and that Houston would be technically viewed as an expansion team." I can't find a credible source to back up this statement, however this is a commonly accepted statement among MLS followers. A new, re-birthed club called San Jose Earthquakes began play in 2008 under completely different management from AEG. Should Eddie Robinson qualify as a one-club man or not?

Been at Wimbledon F.C. since 2002, is still with the Dons ever since, even with all the controversy and the morph into the Milton Keynes Dons, of which he is the current captain, " Lewie" still going strong in 2014. So 12 years with the same club, of which 10 were after the re-naming, 11 after re-location, and 12 overall. Also a club legend, especially with the WFC fans who didn't defect to the AFC and the only player left apart from David Martin in the MK Dons squad who remembers the days of the original Wimbledon, although he came to the club when half the fans fans have already left for AFC.

I have noticed that Oleksandr Shovkovskiy is repeatedly added to the list: I had to remove him on at least three occasions. The issue with him is that he is playing for FC Dynamo Kyiv for 21 years and is commonly considered a one-club man, but he did play two games for FC CSKA Kyiv in the third league (4th level) at the age of 18 (see his official profile, the club is named ЦСКА-2 in the database due to a series of mergers). While this fact is known to Ukrainian media, it is constantly removed from the article and Shovkovskiy is added to the list. In my view, even though he played only two games for the team in the fourth league (lowest professional level ever existed, although many players were most likely semi-pros at the time) makes him ineligible for the list. Or probably is there any reason or criterion why Shovkovskiy can be added to the list? Thanks — NickK ( talk) 21:14, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

I've seen the discussion about including the likes of John Terry and Steven Gerrard in the list. A one-club man is a one-club man and if he represented the club for 10 years or more he should be included even if he's still young. Besides both players have on many occations explained their desire to stay at their respective clubs until the end of their careers.
A little note: Steven Gerrard is indeed included but John Terry is missing.

I would argue about the inclusion of a number of players in the second section. The obvious one, and one I have now removed, is Dennis Bergkamp. I appreciate that he has been at Arsenal for a very long time, but the implication that he had not made his name until he joined the club is silly. He was a professional for some 10 years before joining the Gunners and won a total of three major European trophies before joining the club (compared with none since joining Arsenal). I remember him being a huge name when he played for Ajax and Inter (also worth mentioning that he spent 7 years at Ajax). Rje 00:05, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

There are too many players on this list, especially a few with less than 15 years, including one with only 9.

We really need to change the criteria for the players being listed. I'm sure as more and more people from different countries reaching this page, they will list the players in their countries, which I am sure will be thousands and thousands. Instead of setting a time served limit of 10 years, I suggest we simply list the top 100 players in order of most time served. If there is a tie for the amount of year served, a player who currently still plays always be listed ahead of the retired players. For example, currently Paolo Maldini will be at the top of the list by serving 24 years with AC Milan only, while still being active. By next month he would probably be top of the list outright by playing in his 25th season. Alcatrazhack ( talk) 13:28, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

I've made a couple of edits to the page, and have been reverted, mainly relating to Maldini but there's a wider issue here.
Whilst my opinion is that this list should be sorted from debut to final appearance, I do not object to the criteria being the date of signing professional terms to date of retirement if that's the consensus. But in either case, for this list to have any merit, whichever method is used should be applied consistently, and should be verifiable. In the case of Maldini, according to the sources in his article, he was a youth team player drafted into the first team due to an injury crisis in January 1985. On that basis, suggesting that he began his career in 1984 makes as much sense as saying that he started it in 1978. More generally, do we backdate all players who make their debuts in the second half of a season to the start of that season? If a player spends two years attempting to recover from an injury that ultimately ends his career, do we count those two years? 82.13.161.114 ( talk) 02:57, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
I have absolutely no idea why loan moves discount a player from inclusion in this list. A very casual search of this list will reveal plenty of players (Bartram, Camacho, Jack Barker) who played for a different youth team, or started at a different club, making an unknown number of appearances, before moving to the clubs that made them legends. Yet they still make this list. However, when a modern player moves to a club on loan, they do so with the approval of their original club, which retains their registration and can recall them as needed. In the case of many "one club men", a loan move was made early in a players career, at the behest of their parent club, in order to get them valuable first team experience. Such was the case with players like Alessandro Costacurta and John Terry, who remained back with their parent clubs (or still remain with them) ever since. I understand that this definition of a one club man is considered an arbitrary one by many leaving comments on this talk page, but I have no idea why a loan move, undertaken by a club that wants to keep a player and have them reach their potential without giving their rights up to another team, would discount a player from status as a one club man. I am sure in every case where this has happened, the player in question doesnt considered their loyalties divided between a club of 10 plus years, and one where they temporarily spent about 10 games. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.227.211.194 ( talk) 18:08, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

Maldini made his first league (Serie A) appearance during the 1984-85 season, so he has played for Milan for 25 seasons. He made his debut in January 1985, but it was in the 1984-85 season, so there are always 25 seasons. This is exactly the same case of Ryan Giggs of Manchester Utd, who made his first appearance during the 1990-91 season, with the league debut in 1991 of that season.-- 79.7.53.206 ( talk) 17:15, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
I think that the U.A. de G. team's capitan has been only in this team since 1998, so he could be elegible for this list
Interesting thought I was ruminating on in regards to the discussion over one-club men revolves around whether or not you remain a one-club man if your club radically changes but you do not leave. An example of this would be a hypothetical player who started their professional career with the San Jose Earthquakes in the MLS, and remained with the club after they moved to Houston, Texas, changed colours to orange and white, and renamed their club to the Dynamo. Although the Dynamo and the Quakes are considered to be different clubs (in fact there is now a different San Jose Earthquakes club that started after the move), would a player who survived such a move and never left be considered a one-club man? In MLS, where players are contracted through the league rather than the teams, would a player lose one-club man status by being selected in an expansion draft? Parallels, of course, exist in Europe, such as the rebranding of teams purchased by Red Bull, the moving and renaming of MK Dons, and the merger of clubs such as Dagenham and Redbridge. Interesting things to think about. DamionOWA ( talk) 10:36, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
I saw the same calculation was used no matter in what kind of leagues, while actually it should be different in countries like Russia, China, Norway, etc., who played summer leagues other than cross-year leagues. For exmaple, if one player served for a English club from 1980-1990, that's 10 years long. But if he played for a Russian club, that should be counted as 11.
I added 7 Chinese footballers served only club no less than 11 years, but if the different calculation could be allowed to use, I can add some more. Derekjoe ( talk) 05:52, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Alex Wilson Is said to have played for pompey for 18 years, but then moved to chelmsford. As they were non-pro he should be included too.
Reg Flewin Played for 16 years, with the 2nd world war in the middle. His pro contract was signed in 1939, and did play in some wartime games for pompey, then continued for 8 years after the war. An interesting one, I think he should be included (Though I would!)

The definition of a "one-club man" might be needed, but the list isn't needed, as it should be mentioned on the individual player’s wiki. This list can never be complete, if you consider the thousands of players in the lower leagues over the 100 years+ of football.
It seems just a folly for fans just to put up players, and then argue about them. The rule about 10 years is just arbitrary, why not 9, 11 or 13.345 years? The other arguments about youth teams, loan spells etc etc start. This list belongs on a football fan's discussion site, not here.

I would like to ask whether nominating Marcel Schreter (playing for FC Wacker Innsbruck) would be within the rules of the site, considering the following: He started his career playing for non-professional side SV Telfs (which has never been professional). In 2002, he left to join WSG Svarovski Wattens (then even an amateur side, formerly a professional side), who then fused with newly-founded FC Wacker Tirol to SPG Wattens/Wacker before he had played a single game. After promotion (having debuted that season), FC Wacker Tirol played in the second Austrian league (professional) - under the licence of Wattens as far as the ÖFB is concerned. FC Wacker Tirol later changed their name to FC Wacker Innsbruck and plays there to this day, having played for the club for the entire existence of the club. Considering the professional (prof league) debut was in 2003, would this make him eligible for the list for 2012 (10 years at the club), in 2013 (10 years in professional football with the club), or would he be disqualified altogether (3/4 amateur seasons for another team before "turning pro" resp. different naming of the clubs)?

Why is Carles Puyol not on the list. The only club he played for is Barcelona. ( Perfectamundo ( talk) 16:43, 29 January 2014 (UTC)Perfectamundo)
All names are listed in alphabetical order of their family names. But A lberto R ibeiro should find in the list a new place at R, not at A. Who can change it? Hasselklaus 195.140.123.22 ( talk) 10:22, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
As far as I can tell, Eddie Robinson is the only MLS player who could be considered a one-club man. The club he played for was known as the San Jose Earthquakes when he joined in 2001 before the team was relocated to Houston in 2006. The ownership group (AEG) and manager Dominic Kinnear remained the same in the move from San Jose to Houston. Robinson retired at Houston Dynamo in 2011. From the perspective of continuous ownership and play, he can be viewed as a one-club man. On the contrary, the Earthquakes wiki page [1] states "MLS declared that San Jose's name, colors, logo, wordmark, history and competitive records would not be transferred to Houston, and that Houston would be technically viewed as an expansion team." I can't find a credible source to back up this statement, however this is a commonly accepted statement among MLS followers. A new, re-birthed club called San Jose Earthquakes began play in 2008 under completely different management from AEG. Should Eddie Robinson qualify as a one-club man or not?

I personally think it should count. Maybe have a note about it but it would be a little ridiculous to exclude him when everything moved except the San Jose stuff. A bit mucky but that's my view. Correctron ( talk) 02:41, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
Was there ever a decision about keeping this just for players who played in the top flights of their leagues? Correctron ( talk) 03:48, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

Been at Wimbledon F.C. since 2002, is still with the Dons ever since, even with all the controversy and the morph into the Milton Keynes Dons, of which he is the current captain, " Lewie" still going strong in 2014. So 12 years with the same club, of which 10 were after the re-naming, 11 after re-location, and 12 overall. Also a club legend, especially with the WFC fans who didn't defect to the AFC and the only player left apart from David Martin in the MK Dons squad who remembers the days of the original Wimbledon, although he came to the club when half the fans fans have already left for AFC.
Those are the facts without getting into the whole Wimbledon saga, just not sure how to go about adding Lewington to that list making it clear he's played 12 years at the same club under two different names. Abcmaxx ( talk) 17:15, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
I think David Svensson should be included here. Thanks. -- Divine time ( talk) 14:26, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
Bayern Munich II is Bayern Munich's reserves team. This means Lahm hasn't played for another club than Bayern. So he has to be added.

Can anyone tell me how this article went from including only association football players to now having rugby players as well? These are toe completely different sports and should have their own articles.— Preceding unsigned comment added by IP ( talk • contribs) 26 August 2014 (UTC)
I have noticed that Oleksandr Shovkovskiy is repeatedly added to the list: I had to remove him on at least three occasions. The issue with him is that he is playing for FC Dynamo Kyiv for 21 years and is commonly considered a one-club man, but he did play two games for FC CSKA Kyiv in the third league (4th level) at the age of 18 (see his official profile, the club is named ЦСКА-2 in the database due to a series of mergers). While this fact is known to Ukrainian media, it is constantly removed from the article and Shovkovskiy is added to the list. In my view, even though he played only two games for the team in the fourth league (lowest professional level ever existed, although many players were most likely semi-pros at the time) makes him ineligible for the list. Or probably is there any reason or criterion why Shovkovskiy can be added to the list? Thanks — NickK ( talk) 21:14, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
Jürgen Klopp appeared for Eintracht Frankfurt II, Viktoria Sindlingen and Rot-Weiss Frankfurt before signing with Mainz. -Lemmy- ( talk) 10:17, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
Prior to Mainz he was not a professional footballer, therefore this entry is legit Fürtierliebe ( talk) 12:05, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
Gerrard is moving to the MLS, presumably because they don't care who finishes 1st in the league.
Should he be removed? [4]

This goalkeeper played for basque football team SD Eibar for 17 years in the 80´s, from Regional Division to Second Division. I think he should be included in the list. Thanks. Oaramberri ( talk) 7:57, 30 April 2015 (UTC+2)

Henrik Gustavsson a goalkeeper from Sweden, still plays activly in Åtvidabergs FF. He has been the primary goalkeeper for Åtvidaberg since the beginning basically. [1]
I removed Scott as he played indoor for two pro teams, San Diego Sockers (2001–04) and Cleveland Crunch, even when his Sounders stints count as one club, having two more rules him out. Murry1975 ( talk) 14:49, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

How about Uwe Seeler? He only played for Hamburger SV in his professional career. 1978 he appeared in a league match of Cork Celtic, but he mistakenly thought that this is just a friendly match organized by his sponsor Adidas because he was told so. So I included him in the list with an annotation explaining the story. -- SdHb ( talk) 21:11, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
