Makelele was close but was a WC runner-up in the 2006 final against Italy.

The quiz is wrong! Rawk knows best.

RAWK does know best. I'll let him know there's a thread full of people with an axe to grind against him !

New one for those interested...

Name the player who has won:

-All 3 domestic trophies in England (Prem, Fa Cup, League Cup)
-The Champions League
-The Euros

(I take no responsibility if this player does not exist)

Henry surely? Second thoughts, probably never got the league cup?

No league cup.

I know this one exists at least. Have double checked it to make sure.

Was convinced Makelele was one but he wasn't selected for the Euros in 2000 apparently.

Jesus lads. Very quick off the mark on those two. Hope ye didn't google

Rickie and Steve indeed.

Rickie playing about 7 mins in Europa and 3 mins in WC - but an appearance is an appearance.

Bumping this rather than making a new topic, as we're all bored in Lockdown 2: Attack of the Tories.

What have all the participants in group 1 got in common, that those in group 2 haven't?

Group 1: Somen Tchoyi, Jordi Gomez, Mo Salah, Jonathan Walters, Callum Wilson, Fernando Torres
Group 2: Craig Bellamy, Ryan Giggs, Kevin Davies, Niall Quinn, Richarlison, Raul Jimenez, Peter Schmeichel

Just thought of a keeper was named it can’t be anything to do with goal scoring.

It’s a good shout but can’t be right otherwise Chelsea (I think) would have got over 100 points if they only failed to win 5.

I thought it was something to do with shirt numbers, can’t see any link between them though. It’s not captains of Premier League winners otherwise we’d see 14 as the most recent...
