April 7th - 12 New additions to the Premier League Heroes website

This week on the Premier League Heroes website we have added three ex Premier League players who are regarded by their fans as legends of their clubs.

First up is former Stoke City, Derby County and Southampton midfielder Rory Delap who although only retiring in 2013 makes the website as he has gone onto other interests after his playing career ended.

Regular readers of the site will know that we only focus on facts and in the course of our research we encounter a lot of supposed facts that may or may not true but cannot be verified either way. One such piece of information about Delap was that Ireland were trying to recruit him as a javelin thrower for their team in the 2012 Olympics. Although Delap did throw javelin for the county in his youth he stopped in his mid teens to concentrate on football therefore highly unlikely to be of Olympic standard. Check out Rory Delap's profile page at www.premierleagueheroes.co.uk/rory-delap

We have also added ex Southampton FC defender Francis Benali to the site who has been very busy in retirement. We know that he is currently coaching at Matthew Le Tissier's football academy but apparently he used to be part owner of a Bangledeshi restaurant in Southampton called Kuti's which won a National Curry Award for their cuisine. Take a look at his profile page www.premierleagueheroes.co.uk/francis-benali

Former Fulham FC legend Louis Saha is the third ex Premier League footballer we have added to the website this week. Saha retired from the game on his 34th birthday which is quite early in the modern game. The reason cited for this was mainly down to the fact that he spent six months at three clubs in the space of a year and a half and he didn't feel as though he was involved as he wanted to be. Saha has also been busy since retiring from playing with fingers in a lot pies including co-ownership in a company called Slk Sport Ltd (which we can't find any information about), and also one called Starplay Limited.
