After Germany lost the Euro 2008 final I had to laugh when Motson screamed "Michael Ballack's record in finals is getting in embarrassing!"

Have we got the 8 now? OP posts a question and logs off :rolleyes:

~Rebel~

maybe we're missing a clause, like "Non English" or something..
That would remove

Gerrard

,

Carra

and

Warnock (checked him out and he played 6 champs league games that season so must have gotten a medal)

, leaving us with 8..

Last week we asked you to name the eight current Premier League players who have played for the winning team in a Champions League Final, but have never won the Premier League?

The answers are: Jamie Carragher, Steven Gerrard, Steve Finnan, Deco, Juliano Belletti, Sylvinho, Benni McCarthy and Michel Salgado.

Lots of you suggested Jose Bosingwa and Roque Santa Cruz - but they were unused substitutes in Champions League Final, while those of you who suggested Nicolas Anelka and Kanu were also wrong - they both won the Premier League with Arsenal.

Don't think Warnock ever got one, Greening did though.

would be pretty harsh to play a part in half the games and not get one. I have no idea how these things are decided though, and I have no idea that he actually did get one, just figured that would be enough.

Yea, he played in 6 of their 15 games (he played twice in the Qualifiers). I'm not sure but he ain't listed anywhere (i can find) that says he won one.

However, I know Gary Neville recieved a medal for his 1 app, a 10min cameo against Roma in 08. So yea seems harsh if Warnock didn't get one.

You have to play some part in the final to get a medal.

really? so Roy Keane doesn't have a Champions League medal?

Use to be the case, not anymore though.

Messi got one for 2006 (he was injured for the final),I think in recent years once you play a part in any match you get credited.

Nope, Keane got a medal though he was suspended for the final against Bayern

I dont think thats correct.

Do you mean start or sub only ?

I think everyone on the bench gets one.

Last summer FIFA gave all the England bench from 66 medals.

Bukman13

UEFA have given out additional medals to squad players - 25 in total since 1996, 30 since 2006. So its possible Warnock got a medal, (If he was in the 25 that is).

A Champions League winner's medal was what Keane craved most at United, but he fell agonisingly short of European club football's major honour.

He does have a medal.

From Keane's book.

"No matter how many people tell me I deserve that Champions League medal, I know I don't. In fact, you could argue that my indiscipline came very close to costing us the treble."

He may feel he doesn't deserve it, but he definitely has one.
