Who is the top scorer in UEFA Cup finals (not Europa league)?

Sidney · January 21, 2015, 7:34pm

Roberto Baggio?

Declan_Moffat · January 22, 2015, 12:50pm

No but correct nationality.

Thrawneen · January 22, 2015, 12:51pm

pippo inzaghi

Declan_Moffat · January 22, 2015, 12:54pm

No

Special_Olympiakos · January 22, 2015, 12:56pm

Dino Baggio

Declan_Moffat · January 22, 2015, 12:56pm

Correct!

Sidney · January 22, 2015, 12:59pm

Correct surname too.

Declan_Moffat · January 22, 2015, 1:01pm

That would have given it away. I think there’s only ever been 2 Baggio’s who have played serie A.

Sidney · January 22, 2015, 1:03pm

There are only around 1500 people with the surname Baggio in Italy. I know this because I was torn between going for Roberto Baggio and Dino Baggio and did a bit of netscaping after I answered Roberto.

Declan_Moffat · January 22, 2015, 1:05pm

The obvious answer was Roberto. There was a great article on the Guardian website about Dino. That’s where that bit of trivia came from.
