It was Lazio, but @Graham Minshall beat you too it.

I know but he didn't ask his question quick enough. . Its all about keeping the interest

 

[Partizan]

Lazio

This is right.

Just looked at the team they put out in that final (with the subs bench). Lots of recognizable names from yesteryear that pop out like Nesta, Mihajlovic, Couto, Lombardo, Conceicao, De La Peña, Almeyda, Stankovic, Nedved, Mancini, Salas, Vieri.

 

[werty]

Vieria?

He was waiting for his winners rating.

Anyway - John Terry. He was on the bench in the last game at Wembley.

Edit - I thought the question was the new and old Wembley

I'd say Vieira. I can't recall Chelsea playing one at the Millenium Stadium. There's a chance Vieira played for for City at the new Wembley when they beat Stoke.

Correct young man

Looks like werty got it before me but I'll add a question anyway to keep this going!

Here's one I had a a pub quiz the other week:

Can you name 10 of the 15 (or all 15) English players that were listed in the top 100 players of the 20th century in the December 1999 issue of World Soccer?

 

[max cady]

Best
Banks
Jennings
Moore
Beckham
Hoddle
Giggs
Finney
Edwards
Gazza

 

[Spurrific]

Best
Banks
Jennings
Moore
Beckham
Hoddle
Giggs
Finney
Edwards
Gazza

I'd take out Best and Giggs for obvious reasons and add Owen and Shearer.

Are you mad..............Shearer/Owen over Best/Giggs

 

[Spurrific]

Are you mad..............Shearer/Owen over Best/Giggs

Yeah, because they have the whole "being English" thing over the latter pair

 

[max cady]

Yeah, because they have the whole "being English" thing over the latter pair

oooooooooooh I just noticed that its english...........my bad I wtill wouldn't include those two. Bryan Robson & Tom Finney

 

[gilzeantheking]

Patrick Viera

 

[werty]

Moore
Greaves
Hoddle
Robson
Lineker
Barnes
Shilton
Charlton
Banks
Barnes
Keegan
Scholes

Heskey

 

[Reado]

Moore
Greaves
Hoddle
Robson
Lineker
Barnes
Shilton
Charlton
Banks
Barnes
Keegan
Scholes
Shearer
Gascoigne
Heskey

Closest so far- 9 correct I think if I have counted correctly. 1 more for 10...

No Barnes, Shilton, Scholes or Heskey (shock). The most surprising one and it is one I answered at the quiz that didn't make the list is unbelievably Jimmy Greaves!

 

[nailsy]

Beardsley?
Platt?
Ince?
Le Tissier?

 

[nailsy]

Stanley Matthews had to be in the list surely?

 

[werty]

Hurst might be in because of the final performance.

 

[nailsy]

Hurst might be in because of the final performance.

Add him and Matthews to your list and I'm sure you'll get a winner rating.

 

[Reado]

Stanley Matthews had to be in the list surely?

That makes 10 in total! Got it across a few of you!

Spoiler: The 15 Players

12. Bobby Charlton
14. Bobby Moore
17. Stanley Matthews
32. Gordon Banks
36. Gary Lineker
44. Michael Owen - couldn't believe this one seeing as he broke through like 97/98, especially considering Greaves didn't make the list! Let alone being 44th...
46. Duncan Edwards
49. David Beckham
50. Tom Finney
56. Kevin Keegan
57. Paul Gascoigne
61. Glenn Hoddle
64. Alan Shearer
68. Dixie Dean
91. Bryan Robson

Not really sure who to "winner" as it was a combined effort - whoever gets here first I guess!
