Ajax

I'm only on my phone so I dont have the benefit of looking it up. I'm going on my mind and my mind only

He definately went back to Ajax at the end of his career, but I had a feeling it was wrong.

I don't know where he went on to though. Was it in Holland?

Yes, it was in Holland.

He did go back to Ajax, but left after a dispute (how unusual for him) and played one more year.

Oh God, football trivia. I was born in 1981 and watched my first live game in 1988, don't ask questions about before then because I played football when I was a kid, not read about it

You need an anally retentive brain like mine that hears or sees some football trivia and it sticks. Great for quizzes, but annoys the hell out of the wife.

Not a clue, could be anyone.

If he had a dispute with Ajax, I wouldn't put it past Cruyff to sign for PSV or Feyenoord just to spite them?

He signed with Feyenoord and promptly won the Eredivisie with them before retiring.

Ok, who was the only man to captain a side to an English domestic title in three seperate decades, being the 80s, 90s and 2000s?

Sounds like a very Cruyff thing to have done

I used to be able to do the Fa Cup Finals from the mid 70s and World Cup finals since it began at one point but then I became a parent and mind became full of knowing about Ben 10 and In the Night Garden.

I'm going to abstain coz I know the answer to this from a quiz way back. Just to check though Sod, I think he has already been mentioned earlier?

If you have sky + you should try and find the Football's Greatest series. I have them on DVD but I think they're on anytime, and they are really good.

His name has come up today, yes...

Adams

Yes, Tony Adams is the man

This is a good one. Which European city has produced most European Cup/Champions League winners, and how many have been won?

Ralph Hunt. The name keeps popping up in my mind. He was either our top all time scorer or scored the most goals in a season. Hmmm

sodhat wrote:This is a good one. Which European city has produced most European Cup/Champions League winners, and how many have been won?

Milan?

Madrid would have 9 from Real and presumably 1 from Athletico?

God, no idea.

Liverpool?
Glasgow might have a few

Just a minute, is this players produced, or teams from those cities?

TSJ is correct with Milan

They have won a combined 10 - 6 from AC, and 4 from Inter, with a further 6 finals between them.

Madrid were second with 9, all won by Real. Atletico have had a solitary final appearance.

Yeah, I meant clubs not players

Glad someone got that then, otherwise I was off down the wrong alley completely

Who is the top English goalscorer in European Cup/Champions League history?

(they are actually joint top right now)

Aaron Wilbraham

Andy Cole?

He gets the ball, he scores a goal, Andy Andy Cole!

But no, it isn't Andy Cole.

Gerrard

Surely it's Rooney? He's scored a ton of goals.

sodhat wrote:He gets the ball, he scores a goal, Andy Andy Cole!

But no, it isn't Andy Cole.

Albion once sung the 'when he gets the ball he does f all' version, he then went and scored a hat-trick

Nando and then Azzy are correct

It's a joint record between Steven Gerrard and Wayne Rooney, both with 28 goals.

Really quite paltry compared to some on the list.

I thought it was Rooney and Jack Wilshere-

So Stevie G has scored more than Scholes?

Scholes is number 3 on the list with 25.

Who's the only Uzbekistani player to score more then 20 goals in the Champions League?

Maxim Shatskikh comes to mind as an Uzbeki?

It's a great name and your correct It's surprising the players he's actually outscored

He is literally the only Uzbeki player I could name!

Which player scored more UEFA Cup/Europa League goals than any other?

(Falcao is 2nd on the list all-time by the by)

Nando - I'll pay the £9m you were quoting for Balzaretti.

It will be £5.7m immediatly, and then £3.3m as soon as the Xmas lawyers are sorted later

Yh this name is ony tempoaray

I know that, he was awesome on two consecutive Championship Manager games

Maxim Shaskskikh (or however you spell him), he basically replaced Sheva and Rebrov at Dynamo Kiev.

Name the 5 English players who have cost over £7 million each but have never played for England.

Fernando wrote:Name the 5 English players who have cost over £7 million each but have never played for England.

Jay Rodriguez should be one

Conor Wickham

£7m in total or in one single move?

BigFellasAfro wrote:Conor Wickham

That's 2 and just one move

May be more then 5 nowadays weren't at the time of asking think it's 6 now

Dean Richards - to Tottenham, right?

Did David Bentley ever play for England?
