I whittled down a list of possible answers to Teddington 2 by making some assumptions about the "former Premier League footballers" Max saw in the hotel.

1. I am guessing both of them are fully retired from football, not former Premier League players who are currently playing in Europe or somewhere else.
2. I think it's likely that both players had between 100 and 350 appearances in the Premier League (the retired players with less than 100 appearances tend to be less recognizable...)
3. I assume they are both from England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, or Northern Ireland. This could easily be wrong though.
4. I am hoping the number of appearances that Max has for these players matches the data that I got from premierleague.com

With these assumptions, I got a list of 314 possible pairs of players who have a combined total of 450 appearances. I uploaded the list here: https://pastebin.com/KnEu9AX2

Of course, one or more of my assumptions could be incorrect. But I feel like there's a good chance that the correct answer is in this list.
