Players who have played in previous World Cups

alan4cult

Of all the players playing in the 2010 World Cup what is the furthest back World Cup that they have played in, like have any played in 1994, 1998 World Cup?

Blanco, Henry, Anelka all played in 98. Just off the top of my head.

Must be confusing with Euro 2000 then!

Rigobert Song and Lee-Woon-Jae(South Korean keeper) both played in 1994, and there are several players who've played in 98

The Uruguay game on Friday was Anelka's first ever appearance at the world cup

Van Bronckhorst was in the Dutch squad for '98.
Dont think he played a minute though.

Dr Galen

Veron played in 98 thats the only one comes to mind straight up.

titan18

Eto'o played in 98 aswell, so did Cannavaro.Buffon was in the Italian squad

Paparazzo

South Korea goalkeeper Lee Woon-Jae played way back in USA 94. 131 caps

Edit: Just noticed titan18 mentioned him already!

Did a quick data crunch on the squad listings presented on the wiki pages. This is a list of the current world cup players who were in previous squads (note it doesn't necessarily mean the played in any of the games). A real 5min job here tbh so be sure to tear the list apart if you find some minor error somewhere!
