Football Trivia

[QUOTE=ā€œSidney, post: 1141384, member: 183ā€]Papin?

Marseille 1991 and Milan 1993.[/QUOTE]

Papin did play and lose in both of those but so far Iā€™ve come up with 3 players who had achieved the unwanted feat before then.

I was asked the question today, but wasnā€™t told the answer, so Iā€™m open to correction if thereā€™s someone earlier than they guy I think it is.

This question was asked years ago on this thread and I got it but who was the first person to win the European Cup with two clubs?

Miodrag Belodeici - Steau 1986 & Red Star 1991.

Google has destroyed the nobility of this thread. :frowning:

Toninho Cerezo I think is one of the three. Roma 1984 and Sampdoria 1992.

Belodeici in fairness is an old favourite quiz question. He was an ethnic Serb born in Romania and defected to the then Yugoslavia just before the revolution that overthrew Ceaucescu. His story got an awful lot of coverage at the time of the 1991 final.

Correct. Thereā€™s two others I can think of who got there before him though.

I have an earlier answer to the player who lost two European Cup finals with different clubs but used Wikipedia so not revealing it. However the same player, Iā€™m almost certain, is the answer to another trivia question - who is the last German player to miss a penalty in a shoot-out in a major international finals tournament ?

Thatā€™s who I reckon it is. Uli Stielike was on the Borussia Monchengladbach team in 1977 and Real Madrid in 1981.

Whoā€™s the third player? Uli Hoeness at a guess?

What was Laurie Cunninghamā€™s nickname, who gave it to him, and why?

Carlos Mozer - Benfica 1988 & Marseilles 1991.

Iā€™m sure thereā€™s been a good few since the early 1990ā€™s. Michael Ballack - Leverkusen 2002 & Chelsea 2008 is one more that immediately springs to mind.

Dimitar Berbatov - Leverkusen 2002 and Manchester United 2009 is another.

Pirlo, Tevez and Evra are all in line to add to that if Juventus lose to Barcelona in this yearā€™s final, in fact Evra has already lost two finals with Monaco and Manchester United so it would be three with different clubs in his case.

Edgar Davids with Ajax 1996 & Juventus 1998 & 2003 another one.

Cashley Cole also.

Only man to have coached European Cup, Cup Winners Cup and UEFA Cup winning teams.

Giovanni Trapattoni.

Has to be il trap surely? Although pretty sure cruyff would have too.

Yes Trapattoni has done it. Thereā€™s more than one.

The question, I should have asked is only man to have won European Cup, Cup Winners Cup and UEFA Cup with three different clubs.

Cruyff hasnā€™t.
