    It's wrongly believed that Socrates played for UCD though he never won a World Cup anyway. It's still worth asking your mate if he's one of the 5 as these questions are often riddled with wrong answers.

    Geoff Hurst and Bobby Charlton played for Cork Celtic and Waterford respectively.

    Uwe Seeler is the German you're thinking of. I wasn't aware he'd played here. He never won the World Cup anyway.(Losing semi v Italy 1970 and final v some monarchist crowd in 1966.) Socrates wasn't a WC winner either btw.
    Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.

    Geoff Hurst also played for Cork Celtic

    Banks- Pats
    Charlton- Waterford
    Moore- Cork Celtic
    Hurst- Cork Celtic

    Seeler played one or two game for Cork Celtic, but never won the World Cup. George Eastham played for Ards up North and was non-playing member of the England 66 squad (was the question about League of Ireland players, or played league football in Ireland?)
