100% correct! (Honestly, I wouldn't have bet a quid on that question having lasted 24 hours ).

roanoke

Another "?" question. I know how much you love them! :pac:

Here's a list of players who all have something in common (it's quite unique and no one else has done it) :

Pelé
Uwe Seeler
Grzegorz Lato
Andrzej Szarmach
?
Dominique Rocheteau
Michel Platini
Karl-Heinz Rummenigge
Lothar Matthäus
Rudi Völler
Julio Salinas
Jürgen Klinsmann
Roberto Baggio
Gabriel Batistuta
Fernando Hierro
Henrik Larsson
Ronaldo
?
Raúl
Miroslav Klose
?

Can you fill in the blanks?

(hint : the three "?" all have got one club in common that they've all played for, tho not at the same time).

Peppa Pig

I think it's to do with players who have scored in more than one world cup finals tournaments.

Benimar

Its players who have scored in 3 World Cup finals. The missing 3 are - Joe Jordan, Park Ji-Sung and David Beckham.

HOWEVER, your sequence is missing one Diego Armando Maradona who scored in 1982,1986 and 1994 (Unless the question relates to scoring in 3 tournaments in a row?)

Correct. (and the yes the sequence was specifically three in a row. Maradona, Blanco and Sami Al-Jaber were purposely omitted).

Strange that I'm a Liverpool fan so

Lovely Bloke

Since 1992 - when football was invented - 8 managers have both won and lost a CL Final.

Name them.

Jarrod

Ferguson, Heynckes, van Gaal, Benitez, Lippi, Ancellotti, Cruyff, Capello.

Red Crow

Capello

Jarrod

Okay here's one, name the top three most expensive players from what was formerly Yugoslavia.

Prosinecki? Boban? and Stojkovic?

Jarrod

I meant including players still playing for countries that were part of Yugoslavia. Apologies if it's phrased badly. I ask because there's one that seriously took me by surprise.

ahhhhh ok ....Djordic?? is that his name of one? ex man united player?(got my names mixed up)
Zigic?
Modric is definitely one

edit...i got my names mixed up...i meant Tosic

DDC1990

Is Eduardo one of them?

Jarrod

Modric is the most expensive. Still two to get. Not Tosic, Zigic or Eduardo, I'm afraid

Peppa Pig

Ibrahimovic?
Edit Playing for Sweden so not him

Fenix

Edin Dzeko ?

Fenix

Not sure how much he's been moved about for but Goran Pandev has swapped a few Italian sides, is he one?

Peppa Pig

Ivanovic?

Jarrod

Dzeko is second on the list.

No to the others, still one more to get.

roanoke

Stab in the dark but I remember Darko Pancev being a big transfer back in the day (like possibly world record or close) . Maybe that's still enough to keep him up there?

Jarrod

I just looked on wiki, Pancev cost £7m. The guy in third place cost between £18.2m and £20m back in the late nineties, depending on where you source your info.

eagle eye

Boksic?

Jarrod

Nope.

markie29

Davor Suker?

Charisteas

Mihailovic?

Peppa Pig

Mijatovic?

eagle eye

Kovacevic?

Jarrod

No to all of those. Clue: He was signed from Turkey.

Charisteas

Savo Milosivic the former Villa striker?

Jarrod

I'm afraid not.

eagle eye

I can't think of his name but there was a guy went from Fenerbache I think to Real Madrid and was a huge flop of Denilson proportions.

Elvir Baljić:D

Jarrod

That's him. Signed by John Toshack, I think. Whilst the fee probably was too high he did have a pretty bad time of it with injuries.

Or 97 and 99, he won with Dortmund as well.

Lovely Bloke

I don't think Cruyff did

Jarrod

Cruyff won it in '92 and lost it (I think) in '94. I see the question says since '92, my bad.

Is it the number of times clubs have been promoted into the top tier of English football....or somit?

Jarrod

I was going to guess the number of times clubs have been promoted to the premiership but Chelsea haven't been, as far as I know. I'm pretty sure a lot more teams would be on the list if it was teams that have been promoted to the top flight.

PhlegmyMoses

Southampton have been promoted to the top tier a few times, anyway, so that can't be the answer.

roanoke

No right answer so far.

Clue to help you : Cambridge United have never played in the top division of English football.

G.K.

Hint : Teams like Malta, San Marino etc will most likely never make it onto this list.
