Who springs to mind when you hear 'journeyman'?
Having had to endure the lower leagues for some time (and a few years in non-league) it was evident that it was full of your typical average-at-best players who although largely forgotten, end up getting signed for some club, somewhere, for a season or (if they are lucky) two.
I can think of a fair few but the making of this thread was prompted by Woking's Nicke Kabamba. As a striker, his goal return is embarrassing however he always seems to be playing for someone. He was in the SPL not so long ago despite having almost as many career clubs as he has goals.

John Burridge
Main part of his career from 1969 till 1993 played for around 12 teams,
Then from 1993 till 1997 basically became a keeper for hire, signing for anyone that needed keeper cover, even managing a few games for Man City in 1994. Signed for something like 19 teams in those final 4 years, some never making an appearance and only a few a games when he did get a game.
Even though he must be in his 70's now he would probably turn up if you gave him a call.

Craig Bellamy has been around.
That’s the first one I thought of, but then Crouch & Robbie Keane jumped in there too. Andy Cole had a load of clubs after leaving United, but not sure I’d call him a journeyman, as it was after a long career at Newcastle & United.
