    I recently retired from football.

    I played in the top division in 5 different European countries including
    the English Premiership.

    In each league I won a championship medal AND experienced relegation.

    I scored a famous winning goal for my country.

    I have played in 6 of Europe's biggest derby matches and never lost.

    I played for 2 Champions League winning sides, but have never played in
    the Champions League Final.

    Who am I???

    just been posed with this myself, not sure if it's a trick question but seems to be doing the rounds alright.

    This is a trick question, the answer is Roy of the Rovers

    Roy of the Rovers always played for the one club - Melchester Rovers (and hence the name) so I don't think that's the answer anyway.

    Kluivert only won league titles in the Netherlands and Spain. He also won the Champions League with Ajax.

    Nobody.

    According to another question posted here, Kanu, Denis Irwin, Damien Duff and Joe Cole are the only four players to win the Premiership and be relegated. Kanu has only played in Holland, England and Nigeria so he cant be counted either.

    Kanu played briefly for Inter but neither won a scudetto or got relegated. I assume it is an unanswerable question but for the English part of the question the second tier is called the Championship and the winners get a medal so someone else from West Brom, sunderland, m'boro or the likes might be a candidate.
