5 is Aaron Winter

Of course!  That was killing me

[Crosby Nick]

Yes to all. I’ve obviously set this to basic level. Didn’t know Valeron was from the Canaries.

[Gerry Attrick]

Got 5 more when Nick's other couple have been guessed correctly.

[Elzar]

1. Couto

[Gerry Attrick]

1 is Djorkaeff

Affirmative.

[Elzar]

2. Coloccini

[Gerry Attrick]

Coloccini is correct.

[Ray K]

4 is David Trezueguet.

[Gerry Attrick]

4 is David Trezueguet.

Yes. I thought him starting his career in Argentina might throw anybody who wasn't aware of that.

[Crosby Nick]

4. Trezeguet

Edit - Piss off Raymondo

[Elzar]

Yes. I thought him starting his career in Argentina might throw anybody who wasn't aware of that.

Is the other one Camorenesi then?

[Gerry Attrick]

Is the other one Camorenesi then?

Yes.

[Crosby Nick]

Is 5 Enzo Scifo?

Bit of a waste of talent if so!

[Gerry Attrick]

5 is indeed Enzo Scifo, Nick.

[Elzar]

Would  these be harder if I did silverware won by players, but not give clubs alongside it?

I've just realised 4 might be silly as it could potentially be a few players

[Gerry Attrick]

All those Italian pots point towards 2 being Nedved.

[rafathegaffa83]

2 - Pavel Nedved?

[Crosby Nick]

1 is Ian Rush. No title in 87/88!

[Crosby Nick]

5 must be Senna? Brazilian who ended up playing for Spain.

[afc tukrish]

5 must be Senna? Brazilian who ended up playing for Spain.

It is, I was at the NASL Championship in 2013, it was in Atlanta...

[The North Bank]

Is 3 Higuaín?

[Crosby Nick]

Is 3 Higuaín?

Good shout. I’d got as far as figuring out he played for Chelsea last year and Real Madrid ages ago.

[Elzar]

All correct so far

Rush
Nedved
Higuain
Senna

[Ray K]

Good shout. I’d got as far as figuring out he played for Chelsea last year and Real Madrid ages ago.

Higuain played for Chelsea last year??  Honestly if you told me it was the 2014-15 season I would have believed you.  I don't believe in the concept of time any more.

[Crosby Nick]

Higuain played for Chelsea last year??  Honestly if you told me it was the 2014-15 season I would have believed you.  I don't believe in the concept of time any more.

Haha I know. Took me about 10 minutes to work out which English team played in a Europa League and EFL final last season. Then I remembered Arsenal (sorry North Bank!).

[The North Bank]

Haha I know. Took me about 10 minutes to work out which English team played in a Europa League and EFL final last season. Then I remembered Arsenal (sorry North Bank!).

I had to think about it myself, it feels like it was years ago.
