This is something that came up in the pub last night, from an email received by meg at work.

t'internet seems to suggest Nicolas Anelka, BUT i don't think he was in the France '98 squad or Barthez, but where did he win the Champions League?

anyone?

Obviously by next July the answer will be "David Beckham and Gary Neville" but until then...

Ardilles?

(I know, I'm an amateur. Although.. what's latin for 'not arsed' as opposed to 'love'?)

Henry? thinking of his spell at Juventus...presumably he missed out there?

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Thursday, 18 August 2005 12:57 (twenty years ago)

Anelka won Champions League with Real Madrid in '99 no?

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Thursday, 18 August 2005 12:58 (twenty years ago)

well '00 but yes, with them.

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Thursday, 18 August 2005 12:59 (twenty years ago)

duh, Henry not in World Cup 98 squad innit. he did win European Championship tho...

Bobby Charlton

and I don't care if the tourney names have changed.

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Thursday, 18 August 2005 13:01 (twenty years ago)

even if they have, is that right (genuine question like)?

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Thursday, 18 August 2005 13:01 (twenty years ago)

Petit has 3 out of 4. Where is Petit now anyway? Retired?

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Thursday, 18 August 2005 13:03 (twenty years ago)

Petit's FA Cup, premiership and World Cup medals all came in the same season too, impressively. Then I remember that story in the paper about him winning £17,000 on a fruit machine that same Summer.

After last nights performance I seriously doubt that.

Yes.

from here: http://www.123football.com/players/c/bobby-charlton/

During his career, Charlton scored 49 international goals for England, winning 106 caps and a World Cup winners medal in 1966. He also won the FA Cup (1963), European Cup (1968) and three league titles (1957, 1965, 1967) with Manchester United, the only club he played for, for whom he played 752 games and scored 247 goals.

billy i was being sarcastic/needlessly optimistic (unfortunately)

onimo, that is good answering :)

Schmichael has FA, CL, PL and European Champs (with Denmark)

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Thursday, 18 August 2005 13:13 (twenty years ago)

Bobby Charlton also survived an air crash, the '50s equivalent of winning on a fruit machine.

I'm going to hazard a guess and say Peter Withe.

Actually, that's not as ridiculous as I thought.

Anelka played about three games that year he was at Madrid, and I can only remember him scoring in that World Club Championship thing. So I can have his medal.

barthez was at marseille the year they won it and then had it stripped, wasn't he? if you count that, he's done all the above + euro 2000.

― spruce bruce (haitch), Thursday, 18 August 2005 13:46 (twenty years ago)

...but minus the fa cup, whoops!

― spruce bruce (haitch), Thursday, 18 August 2005 13:51 (twenty years ago)

Henry played the WC98

― Baaderonixx on a long black leash (Fabfunk), Thursday, 18 August 2005 13:55 (twenty years ago)

Seeing Charlton, I was just about to shout Nobby Stiles, but I'm now not sure that he got an FA Cup winners medal.

Honourable mentions should also go to Ronnie Simpson, Bobby Lennox, Willie Wallace and Tommy Gemmell who won every club honour going in 1967 before becoming world champions :-P

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Thursday, 18 August 2005 14:14 (twenty years ago)

Henry played the WC98

really? i made the mistake of thinking Juve won the CL again after their '96 triumph anyway, but they were mere runners-up twice right?

Willie Wallace: "They can take our lives but they cannae take our Scottish League, Scottish Cup, Scottish League Cup, World Club Championships winners medals........... or our Glasgow Cup winners medal"

henry was only at juve for half a season ('98-99). I think he was cup-tied, too, so no champs league for him.

― spruce bruce (haitch), Thursday, 18 August 2005 15:17 (twenty years ago)

before becoming world champions

And every time a Scot cheekily points this out, I never tire of reminding them that they relinquished their world title to Northern Ireland about five months later...

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Thursday, 18 August 2005 15:42 (twenty years ago)

Henry was in WC98, yeah, I remember.

It would be interesting to follow the trail of defeats from there to see who currently 'holds' England's world cup. Not that I can be arsed doing it, of course.

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Friday, 19 August 2005 09:00 (twenty years ago)

There's a webpage that does this, and I think the current world champions under that system are Zimbabwe....

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Friday, 19 August 2005 10:11 (twenty years ago)

Zimbabwe have held the title for seven months, winning it off of Angola.

Scotland totally ruled up until about 1893

― Diddyismus (Dada), Friday, 19 August 2005 10:27 (twenty years ago)

TEAM DAYS HELD LAST HELD*
Scotland 12,999 10.05.1967
England 7,749 20.06.2000
Ireland 2,576 13.03.1920

... in fact we're still miles ahead! Hurrah!!

― Diddyismus (Dada), Friday, 19 August 2005 10:29 (twenty years ago)

Finland have failed in 12 attempts at winning this. Poor Finland.

Rwanda get next shot at the title.

It was nice of Ireland to give the Africans a go of passing this around.

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Friday, 19 August 2005 11:14 (twenty years ago)

That's a terrific little page - nice to know England were actually champions in '66 by this method too. (I didn't know Scotland had lost very soon after the Wembley 2-3 to the USSR, I was going by their Home International defeat to NI which stopped them qualifying for what they didn't call Euro68).

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Friday, 19 August 2005 12:04 (twenty years ago)

It proves what we've been saying all along that England might have "technically" invented football but Scotland perfected it

― Diddyismus the Blind (of Alexandria) (Dada), Friday, 19 August 2005 12:07 (twenty years ago)

I say, we Brits did rather well when no one else played.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Friday, 19 August 2005 12:22 (twenty years ago)

I'm afraid I don't understand that page.
