Hi all,
I was sent the following question recently and I'm looking for confirmation on the correct answer.

Name an Irish player, English player, Welsh player and Scot who have all played for clubs in three different countries, and these three clubs have all won the European cup at some stage, i.e the player might not have been with the club at the time the club won it but the club has won it at some stage. I think I've the Irish, Welsh and Scot but I'd appreciate confirmation of that and I've been given an English player but without adequate proof...

[The Rule]

welsh on is definitly MARK HUGHES, i think it may be a trick question cos the only irish player i can think of is Liam Brady,juve-inter and he managed celtic.can't think of scottish or english players at the moment but i'll get back to you

[mdcrowley]

No not a trick question;
Mark Hughes is correct... Man Utd, Barcelona, Bayern Munich (loan)
Clues: -
Liam Brady is not the Irish player, more recent than him.
Scot can be seen on Sky Sports...

[The Rule]

is the irish lad still playing?is the english lad still playing

[The Rule]

the scot is ALAN MCINALLY.

[The Rule]

I've a couple of irish lads who've played for two,Keane,McGrath,Brady,Staunton,and Houghton,for the life of me i can't think of anyone who's played for three

[mdcrowley]

The Scot is correct,
The Irishman is Tony Cascarino, Aston Villa, Marseille and Celtic...

I'm still not convinced of the English guy, I was given the "correct" answer but I still haven't seen any proof of the third club so I'll wait to see if anyone here comes up with an answer.

[The Rule]

Please find below a Laurie Cunningham Bio. Totally Plagiarised from a West Brom website

Laurie Cunningham

Cunningham was a relative unknown when he signed for West Brom from Leyton Orient in a player swap deal back in 1977, but only two years later he was playing in the Bernabeu for the mighty Real Madrid.

The talented wide man made his name as part of the West Brom trio who were labelled the ‘Three Degrees’. Along with Cyrille Regis and Brendon Batson, Laurie helped West Brom take the first division and Europe by storm.

Cunningham was thrown straight into the Baggies first team, and repaid the mangers faith by setting up both goals in a 2-0 win on his debut. Cunningham’s move to Spain was mainly due to a magical display in the quarter-finals of the Uefa Cup against Valencia. Six months later Laurie moved from the midlands when Real Madrid paid £995,000 for his services.

He had the perfect start to his Spanish adventure with a goal on his debt, and he also played a part in Real’s league and cup double. He never quite recaptured the form he had shown at West Brom, and due to a mixture of injuries and tactical differences he left Madrid in 1983.

This signalled the start of a journey that saw Cunningham experience a number of short playing spells for Marseille, Manchester United, Sporting Gijon, Leicester City, Real Betis, Charleroi, Wimbledon and Rayo Vallecano. His main achievement throughout this period had to be the FA Cup winners medal at Wimbledon in 1988, after coming on as a second half substitute.

Unfortunately, this story has a sad ending because on July 15th 1989 Cunningham was killed in a car crash just outside of Madrid. Ironically, his death came just as he had won promotion back to the Spanish top flight with his last club Rayo Vallecano.

A tragic end for a gifted midfielder who should be remembered as the first black player to represent England at any level, when he was selected for the under 21’s in 1977. Ron Atkinson confirmed Cunningham’s status as the daddy when he described him as being the finest British player since George Best.
