Aberdeen?

Nottingham Forest?

Marseille?

I'm leaning toward Steaua Buchareşt. With the player link being Georgie Hagi. 1986 final vs Barcelona.

Halfway there with that last answer, yes Steaua is one of the disputed teams, but the player is not Hagi, and the other team is not Barca


Is the clue to do with your poor punctuation? That'd make it Neville Neville. Or some other brothers' dad.

Yes my poor use of the apostraphe and extra "s" is a red herring. The answer has already been given, the clue is my deliberate poor spelling of "witch", or bruja as it translates to Spanish.


I think it's either Juventus or Panathinaikos. The name of AC Milan also popped up.

Yep, Panathinaikos, I think both Juve and Milan were substitute teams, but they have both won the competition (Champions Lg) since. Atleti were the team that won it.

It was hardly AC Milan in 1989 in the Nou Camp.

At the risk of starting a diplomatic incident.... Red Star won it in 91 with 10 Yugoslavs and an ethnic Serb from Romania.

Jamie and Harry Redknapp are one of the 9 father and sons to be at the same club in top flight football as Player and Manager. NAME THE OTHER 8.

I'd be very surprised if they was only 9. Anyway.... Kenny/Paul Dalglish, Alex/Darren Ferguson, Gordon/+1 Strachan, Steve/Alex Bruce. Brian/Nigel Clough, Cesare/Paolo Maldini, Johan/Jordi Cruyff, Dermot/Alan Keely

the last team to win the champons league/european cup with 11 players from the same country had to be steaua bucharest. They weren't allowed to transfer players under the regime of Caucescu,and nobody has done it since. Judging by the way the game is going now,they'll probably be the last team to ever do it aswell

Yep, this is correct, on 29th May 1991 Yugoslavia still existed as a country and all the players were Yugoslavian (Slovenia declared independace less than one month later, and Croatia 5 months later). The player you mention is the source of contention. Miodrag Belodedici was born in Sokol, Romania to Serbian (Yugoslavian) parents. He played for Steaua in the final in 1986 and again in 1991 winning both times. Before the regieme collapsed in Romania he defected to Yugoslavia and was banned from playing for the Romanian national team. However, he couldn't play for Yugoslavia as he had already played international football, he later played for Romania again in the late 1990s.

The answer depends on if you classify him as Romanian (in which case it is Steaua) or Yugoslavian / Serbian (in which case it's Red Star).

Colin/Andy Todd.

I left out a word in the question.
The question should read:

Jamie and Harry Redknapp are one of 8 fathers and sons to be at the same club at the same time in top flight English football. Name the other 7.

Kenny/Paul Dalglish, Alex/Darren Ferguson, Gordon/Gavin Strachan, Steve/Alex Bruce. Brian/Nigel Clough.

These are all correct. One more left to find.
