Yea there is,thats why I suggested a different quiz master each week.We should do up a list of people who want to volunteer.

Not intending to nitpick (especially as I wasn't involved), but does Jeff Kenna have a medal from Blackburn, or did he not feature enough that season? Just wondering is all....

carlop

I'm just looking at this now, was the question about the team with most European Cup finalists about the amount of times a country has been represented or how many different teams from one country have reached the final? Sorry about being a pain in the balls, i'm just curious.

He wasn't on the list I sourced, he joined Blackburn in March of the title year and was only available for nine games. Don't think that's enough to qualify.

How many times a finalist was from a specific country.
