try this
select player,club from players,clubs where players.club_id = clubs.club_id
You need the where clause in the query to join the tables, otherwise you get
a 'cartesian product' where all combinations of rows are displayed. The
foreign key constraint just constrains the data in the tables, so that you
can't enter a club_id into players which isn't in clubs, but doesn't affect
what you can select from the tables.
