Never won any major cups.
I managed to earn a decent amount of caps for England.

Good question

 

[Brizzle]

Yeah v good question. If no internetting is allowed then I cheated, but had fun trying to work it out. Wouldn't have had a chance without Hal's help at a hint!

I totally cheated and internetted.

I misread and thought it was won two cups... and went McAteer first.

After the hint I started to get a feel for the two teams... first player I checked didn’t have the caps.

Then I went down a list of capped players and checked out the squad in his final season.

Love this shit!!!

Uuuummm... I prefer to call it “researching”.

I forgot he’d played in Scotland.

I was actually thinking it was Gattuso - but he didn’t play in England.
