Evra, of course

Both right
Balotelli?
Saha
I'm sure Andy King at Leicester was born in England was he not? Might be confused ala Giggs.
Andy King is correct.
I don't know where he was born, but Jeff Schlupp was never born in Ghana.
I always thought he was Dutch for some reason so you might be onto something there.
Jeffrey Schlupp was born, sadly without a brain, in Germany.
One to get and it's the hardest of the lot imo. This geezer played his football for Australia.
Where was Kasper Schmeichel borned?
Robbie Slater (with a bit of research - never knew his was a plastic scouser).
Surprised there weren't any "Irishmen"
Yeah Robbie Slater is the one.
Name the only played to have scored in each of the three major European finals? Cup Winners Cup, UEFA Cup & European Cup/Champions League.
I genuinely have no idea who Robbie Slater is.
@Adamski
Is it Raul? Nah wait it's the other one. Morientes.
I know Koeman scored in the European Cup and Cup winners cup final. Not sure about the other though
Well this is a bit shit, I have a couple of clues if you would like?
Vialli?
Van Basten?
I was so sure I'd nailed it that I've become completely demoralised if I'm honest.
No idea. I thought it might be Nedved but I checked and it isn't. I've gone through all the Cup Winners Cup finals from the 90s and I don't think it's any of those scorers, so unless it's someone way older who none of us would get?
Older than these.
Linekar
Di Baggio
No. The only final he lost was European Cup.
He is Scandinavian and played in lower league England also for a spell.
Fuck knows who that is then.
Actually, default Scandies for that period are Brolin, Dahlin, and Kennet Andersson although the first two played in the Premiership rather than lower league.
It's older than that. Late 70's early 80's.
Allan Simonsen.
And you said we wouldn't get it! The wonders of the internet eh?
Here's a testy but gettable one.
What is the logic test for these lists of clubs:
YES
Aberdeen
Arsenal
Aston Villa
Burnley
Chelsea
Everton
Fulham
Leicester
Liverpool
Man City
Man Utd
Norwich
Spurs
Stoke
Swansea
West Brom
Wolves
NO
Bournemouth
Celtic
Crystal Palace
Hull
Middlesbrough
Rangers
Southampton
Sunderland
Watford
West Ham
IN A MANNER OF SPEAKING
Newcastle
Who am I?
After impressing in Sweden's North Division 1, I was given my chance in the English second division.
I won my leagues' top scorer award in 1993
I was my teams 'player of the year' in 2005
I ended up playing in all 4 English divisions
I played in two World Cups and 1 European Championship
I scored the first ever goal live on Sky Sports
I thought I knew it from the first ever goal but Sweden is throwing me.
@Jimmy Floyd Something to do with name changes?
Teddy Sheringham
Yeah, Super Ted. Too easy, I think.
The last bit threw me a bit because I thought that was Brian Deane, but perhaps that's the first goal ever rather than the first televised goal.
Couple of other clues:
- All other British clubs not mentioned are NO
- Many foreign clubs are YES
- Only one other club in the world, other than Newcastle, is IN A MANNER OF SPEAKING
Something to do with the manager?
I'm a twit
It's to do with their current squads.
This is a right old head scratcher, James.
Players who appeared at the last Euros, with the manner of speakings being players out on loan from the two clubs?
Good effort but Cabaye breaks that.
I feel like this one would be really satisfying to get... But I've no idea what it is.
So many jokes about @igor_balis sex life on the forum recently.
