I don't whether you mean the 05-06 season when Liverpool won it or the 06-07 season when Chelsea won it. If it's Chelsea then I'm gonna' go with Paulo Ferreira. I was gonna' say Bosingwa but, I'm not sure if he was on Chelsea at that time

Steve Finnan. Loved the guy

Steve Finnan

Yep think Kimaway is right that it is Steve Finnan, class act at Liverpool

Steve Finnan is the correct answer, good job Kimaway

Roger Milla from Cameroon  If I can recall I think he scored 5 goals

Correct

Uli Hoenel most probably

Joey Barton before he was reincarnated as an awful awful person

I'm want to say "Der Bomber" Gerd Muller but, I have a strong feeling that it could also be "Der Kaiser" Franz Beckenbauer

Well I was thinking der bomber after the first two but both he and Beckenbauer won the champions league multiple times for Bayern Munchen. I was thinking Uwe Seeler but he more old school than the 70s I think his last WC was in 1970. Maybe Karl Hieze Rummeniger but he maybe a little later

None of the above.... This one is one of the tougher questions- he is a forgotten player from that era

Rainer Bonhof. Although in his first European Championship, he was called for the team, but he never played, but Germany still won. He played in Borussia Mönchengladbach during the 70's, which was also their golden decade. They won many bundesligas aswell

Karl Hieze Rummeniger  

Luq, Völler isn't exactly a 'forgotten player' - in fact he's one of the most celebrated players of that era.

I don't get it Sam: Beckenbauer for example has at least won the European Cup three times, and I assume he's been runner-up once at least. So is your last clue wrong, or am I that wrong?
I was thinking of players that played in Bayern and the German national team during and shortly after Franz, but they too all won it 3 times, not twice (and another time where they ended 2nd or 3rd), like you said

Rainer Bonhof

Rainer Bonhof is the right answer- he was a member of the successful Borussia Mönchengladbach side of the 70s winning 4 Bundesliga titles; he also won the Euro Cup in 1972 and 1980 and was a runner-up in 1976

Yay...

The only curly haired winger I can think of is Guardado at the moment. Not bad since the only other curly haired players I can think of are David Luiz, and Milito

Think 'The Best League In The World!'

Oh, and if you didn't get it, think early career striker turned prevalently winger.  Early career - where the Suarezs used to play.

George Best

No. Think now. Think wooden shoes (clogs)

Let me take a wild guess, Mario Kempes

What the hell? Which part of 'think NOW' didn't you understand? Curls is the only thing you have managed to hold on to. Clogs = where are they from, hmm, Holland. Current Dutch player playing in the Premier League. Has been pushed back as a winger but used to play as a striker. Ryan Babel? No, no curls, no recollection of him playing as a striker. Not even here any more. Wait, Dirk Kuyt? Yeah, you got it right. Great, thanks for the quiz. No problem mate

I was about to guess Kuyt after the clogs clue.    Anyways thanks for the quiz. You clogged us

Dude, seriously, that can be anything. He's been to China and got sick from eating a bowl of rice and Leo hasn't. He's been drunk on his niece's wedding and Messi hasn't.

Any clues, maybe?

Uche has a brother which is a professional player and Messi doesn't?

It has something with scoring!

Scored in more than 1 league?

It has to do with Uche's acrobatic celebrations then isn't it?!

Edit: double post

No. Should I tell you guys or do you give up?

Since nobody guessed it. Uche has scored a goal at the World Cup and Messi has not

But messi scored in the 2006 world cup so yeah...

Yeah Messi is one of the youngest goalscorers in the World Cup and was actually the youngest one from that World Cup at the age of 19

Oh. My bad. Now this is kinda awkward :/

Haha, I love how every time someone tries to find a weak spot of Messi, he comes back to burn ya
No offence Kim, just funny that once again Messi indirectly has proven he's awesome

Messi is an amazing player. After how he made Vidic look like a skool boy I aint gonna' talk trash about him

Joe Gaetjens?

Lev Yashin? The "black" spider

Yah, I think its Lev Yashin

Yup, nice one TBS. Lev Yashin, the black spider from Russia, with love

Kind of easy to be honest the first 4 lines was definitely Russia and when you talked about "black" and "first" it was pretty obvious

Clever though!

Oh yes Yashin makes a lot more sense hhahah

Nice one Jeroen, sorry I had missed out on guessing...

Lev yashin, best goalie in the world

Once I looked up what pato was the national sport of(I was curious) the rest came to me. But that is cheating I will just say this is brilliant J, but you may want to say there is no T at the end of the player's name

I'm sorry I don't get it

Ah, yeah, I thought of that 'T' too Duncan, haha.

I deliberately made the riddle a bit harder than I could've, because the player is really quite famous. Working on another right now

I only know one player who got his bro kidnapped(didn't he die) Wilson Palacios?

No, it's not Palacios. I'll give another tip:

My name is the same as the greatest player that has ever existed.
However, that player isn't the kind of player you're thinking of.
My second name is a reference to that first name

Abedi Pele

Riquelme?

Abedi Pele

Pele doesn't work with the father of modern fantasy books.

JR Tolkien is what he is looking for.... And then they talked about how there isn't a T at the end.

Juan Roman Riquelme? Who also had his brother kidnapped and was forced to move to Barca to afford to pay the ransom

Juan Roman Riquelme it is!

I'm just killing all of your questions Jeroen

Haha, you're supposed to P. Way to go mate

Roberto Baggio
Cristiano Ronaldo
Robinho
Christian Vieri
Zinedine Zidane
Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Luis Figo
Hernan Crespo

Cristiano Ronaldo
Kaka
Zinedine Zidane
Luis Figo
Gigi Bufon
Fernando Torres
Alan Shearer
Hernan Crespo
Robinho
Rio Ferdinand
Andy Carroll
Roberto Baggio

IIRC, Ibra never held the record, neither did Robinho.

Another couple of players I think of are:
Luis Suárez (the Spanish one, who went to Inter from Barcelona)
Johan Cruijff (Ajax to Barça)
Maradona (Boca to Barça and then broke his own record from Barça to Napoli)
Ruud Gullit (PSV to Milan)
J-p Papin (Club Brugge legend, transferred to Marseille, then to Marseille to Milan for a then record fee)
Alan Shearer (Blackburn -> Newcastle)
Ronaldo (Barça -> Inter)
And finally Kaká, who held the record for a short while before Ronaldo (the beachboy one) stole it

I thought he meant just in general. Because Robinho broke the British transfer record. Rio had it for a while. Torres has it atm. And Carroll most expensive English player

I'll get back to some of these later but so far....

3. Nike
4. FC Barcelona vs RCD Espanyol
5. Sporting Gijon
6. Argentina somewhere
7. Maradona played for all 4
10. Crouch, Anelka, Defoe? Owen
12. Aston Villa (does that count?)
14. All of them are retired numbers
15. Pennant?
16. Michael Owen?

I knew more than I expected I think

1, Alan Shearer
2. Wayne Rooney 4 goals
3. No clue
4. Barcelona vs Espanyol
5. Sporting Gijon
6. Argentina
7. Maradona's former clubs
8. Harry Redknapp dunno the 2nd one
9.
10. Owen Anelka Defoe
11.
12. Aston Villa Charlton Athletic Northampton Town?
13.
14. Their all retierd
15. Pennant
16. Michel Owen. Defos!

Check the post everytime to see if your answers were correct

Liverpool is a club which name ends with the same first letter

Dundee United?

Oh yea I forgot Liverpool

You gave 3 answers and dundee don't play in england

11. Who was the first goalkeeper to score in the Premier League?  Hungary legend Kiraly

Lets see should be one of these: Owen, Rooney, Lampard, Gerrard or Scholes. Cannot think of anybody else

Owen or Gerrard

The correct answer is: Paul Scholes

Seriously! How much!

I was thinking its going to be Scholesy or Rooney looks I got it right. How many did Scholes score?

Paul Scholes Scores Goals!

I just realised Rooney has the same amount as Scholesy so they both have 25 goals in the Champions League.

So the correct answer is Rooney and Scholes both with 25 goals each

I am pretty positive Stevie G has scored 29 goals in the champions league. He has 38 in total in Europe, and if I have the stats right he has scored 29 in the Champioooonssss

I am not trying to step on your toes here, and I went and checked the champions league goal charts, it doesn't even say Stevie has 20, but check this out


Link: soccernet.espn.go.com/player/_/id/7935/steven-gerr...

I count zero UCL goals in 09/10
I count seven UCL goals in 08/09
Six in 07/08
Three in 06/07
Seven again in 05/06
Four in 04/05
0 in 02/03
And one in 01/02

I am no math wiz as I put 29 above but doesn't he have 28? What trips me out is that they don't even list him as having 20 in the champions league goal scoring all time lists are those stats just incorrect? Or am I reading the charts wrong or something

I saw it on a stat page that Gerrard has 20 goals while Scholesy and Rooney have 25. Did Gerrard score in any qualifiers?
Maybe they don't count them like they do in the knockout rounds and the group stage

That could be, I am just curious about it. That could be a good answer, but I don't think Liverpool usually played in the qualifying rounds.

In 00/01 we finished 3rd
We did finish fourth in 03/04 so maybe some of the four was in qualifiers
We finished fifth in 04/05 but won the final, which gave us a birth into qualifiers of 05/06, Stevie scored all his goals in qualifying that season, maybe that is the solution?

It could be

Andy Gray?

Not at all

Perhaps Dennis Law? Could be way wrong but I will try it out, don't know if he ever played for Everton or Gers or Celtic for that matter

Nope but I will give a hint, he is a Man Utd player

I have been thinking for two days and I am gonna' say Kanchelskis he played for United and Everton. But I don't know if he has played for Celtic or Rangers.

Well that's my guess

Well done Bjarini10! It was a challenging question and you've got the right answer!

Sweet! Though I really just guessed

For 6.... 3 of them are Messi, Eto'o and Kubala.    10. Newark New Jersey

2. Buenos Aires
3. 2004
6. Eto'o, Kubala, Ronaldinho and Messi
7. 3 of them are Dalgish, Gerrard and Fowler
8. 9 goals
9. Alexandre Pato
10. New Jersey

Can say right now that Ronaldinho is wrong for sure and that Fontaine scored 7 or 8 goals in a single World Cup so I can't see 9 being a realistic number. Pato is also just a nickname given to him because he came from a certain region of Brazil

Omg I know 5, The score was 6-3 with a hat trick from Puskas and Di Stefano respectively. Not sure.... Tryna not look at Wiki, but I remember going through allot the European cup finals from Madrid and this scoreline stood out

1. Flying Dutchman
2. Buenos Aires
3. 2004
4. 6
5. 7-3 Puskas and Di Stefano
6. Eto'o Messi Ronaldo and idk the rest
7. Dalglish Rush Fowler
8. 16
9. Alexandre Pato
10. New Jersey

1.) Kimaway was very very close but it isn't quite right for one of Dennis Bergkamp's nickname
2.) Buenos Aires is correct, nice
3.) Stevie G was first appointed captain in October of 2003, but 2004 is correct because it was the 03/04 season
4.) Kimaway got so close I have to give him props, it was five I believe a hat trick against England the winning goal against West Germany and of course the famous volley against the USSR, Van Basten was such a sublime player
5.)Kimaway nailed it, Ayyam very close it was 7-3 to Madrid with Di Stefano scoring a hat trick and Puskas getting four
6.) Sammy Eto'o, Messi and Kubala are correct, you are missing Barca's all time leading scorer in the league. Ronaldo and Ronaldinho didn't achieve a hundo
7.) Ian Rush is the only one who has been correct with 229 league goals. There are two players with more league goals than Rush but of course no one with more in all competitions. Again that's 200 + league goals, Fowler and Dalglish have 128 and 118 in the league respectively, good guesses and real legends at the club but not quite 200 goals
8.) I will just give the hint that he scored 13 goals in one World Cup in only six matches. Fontaine what a g, he is almost the all time leading scorer in the history of the WC only having played in one tournament haha. His ratio isn't that good for his whole career with France but it is better than a goal a game.
9.) Pato is just a nickname, but Alexandre is his real first name, I will wait and see if someone can guess the rest.
10.)Ya Giuseppe Rossi was born in New Jersey I think around Newark somewhere

1) Dennis the non-flying Dutchman (fear of flying!), the Iceman, Dennis the Menace, God.... I'm sure he has plenty more, but those are the ones I can think of right now. And yes, I am a big Bergkamp fan

I can't believe 6) hasn't been said yet: we may have a new star by the name of Alcántara now, but the greatest was of course Paulino Alcántara. Barça's all-time topscorer and he scored over 350 goals in exactly as many games.
Suck on that, Messi.

7) Roger Hunt is one, Ian Rush another, but then.... Seems unlikely, but maybe Michael Owen is his 'pool days? Perhaps Robbie Fowler? Edit: just noticed Fowler was already wrongfully mentioned. Hmm.... Must be players from before the time football got interesting then

8) Just Fontaine is the record holder of most goals in a single World Cup with an astonishing 13 goals (I thought this was common knowledge for a football pundit). That means that in those 6 games, he averaged 2. 17 goals per game. Safe to say that'll never happen again in our lifetime. By that logic, he could've scored about 30-40 in those 21 caps he gathered?

I looked up 9) and it's really not guessable, it's just a common Brazilian last name really

Ahhh The Philipino born Spaniard who kicked the ball through the net!
He also became a doctor after his football career

I think Cesar Rodriguez should also be on the list durrr

Cesar Rodriquez also scored 195 league goals for Barcelona. Definitely Alcantara must have been an absolute g, 357 goals in as many games, I don't know technically if they were league goals or what, but both are Barca legends I am sure.

Ay to be sure J, I thought maybe Pragatish would come on here and know Pato's full name. Alexandre Rodrigues da Silva is his full name. Anybody on here know Ronaldinho's full name? I would guess there are a few haha.

As for the Liverpool question, nice J Roger Hunt is one, Gordon Hodgson and Billy Liddell are the others. Legendary stuff

Ronaldo de Assis Moreira    And Ronaldo de Lima is the other

That's embarassing after my long speech of not cheating -. -

That's embarassing after my long speech of not cheating -. -

David James I am pretty sure

Giggs

Ryan Giggs is the correct answer!

Berkamp is it?

Nope but a very good try

Ruud Van Nistelrooij I would guess

Ruud

Nice try but nope

Hum this one really has me stumped I have been thinking for a minute on it. Let me try and rack my brain and get the wheels spinning. Nothing is coming to me I will have to look it up and that means I can't guess anymore here of course

Is it Gullit

I can only think of one other. Jimmy Floyd Hasselbank

Kimaway17 you are correct its Jimmy Floyd Hasselbank

Yes!

Nice one Kimaway, ya I looked it up, didn't even know Jimmy Floyd Hasselbank was Dutch, it doesn't sound Dutch at all to me, but good for you for getting it Kimaway, awesome

Zilna or the Israeli club, can't think of its name

Hint: Its a Russian team

Rubin Kazan? Or Zenit

Nope

Spartak Moscow? CSKA Moscow?

CSKA Moscow

Spartak Moscow is the correct answer! Well done TheBarca Show!

When you name all of the big Russian clubs its hard to get it wrong
