Mis-information on my part. Had Wenger down as Japan manager before moving to Arsenal. He was of course manager of Grampus 8.
Alex Ferguson was appointed Man Utd manager in October 1986. Did he not manage Aberdeen at the start of that season after the World Cup?

Yep. Quarters of the 86/87 UEFA Cup was the other time, to be exact. Scored twice in the last five minutes in Spain too...
Was asked this in the pub and can only get so far with it.
Players who have played in EPL and have scored a goal in a Champions Leauge Final (i.e. post 1992) Apparently there are 9 of them.
Sheringham and Solskjaer obviously. McManaman for Real v Valencia.
My CL knowledge doesn't go much further than that though... Who was yer man Derby signed from AC Milan? Think he might be one.
SheringhamQuote:

Kluivert(ajax vs milan 1995)
Mendieta (Valencia vs Bayern2001)
G Vialli(juve)
Perhaps I've made an error somewhere, but I seem to have come up with ten:
Desailly (Milan 94)
Kluivert (Ajax 95)
Ravenelli (Juventus 96)
Litmanen (Ajax 96)
Riedle (Borussia Dortmund 97)
Sheringham (Manchester United 99)
Solskjaer (Manchester United 99)
Morientes (Real Madrid 2000)
McManaman (Real Madrid 2000)
Mendieta (Valencia 2001)
That was stefano eranio and no he didn't score in the cl final.Quote:

What did the FAI Cup Finals at Lansdowne between 1991, and 1994 have in common?
Which club did Mo Johnston leave Celtic for?
Papin was a "star" of Mexico 86 missing chance after chance after chance.Quote:

There are 3 more.
The 1991-1994 finals all finished 1-0. Derry and Shels broke the trend in '95, when Derry won 2-1.Quote:

Liverpool won 9-0 against Crystal Palace in September 1989. What was the score of Liverpool's next league game?
One country led a game 1-0 and were 1 minute away from qualifying for the 1996 European Championships. Then they conceded an equalizer. They had 2 games left to play in their group after that, yet they still failed to qualify for the finals. Who were they?
They drew 0-0 with Norwich City at Anfield.Quote:

In answer to the TWO players to play in two WC Finals with different teams, there is actually SEVEN players who have done this ;
Altafini - Brasil and Italy
Luis Monti - Argentina and Italy
Puskas - Hungary and Spain
Santamaria - Uraguay and Spain
Prosinicki - Yugoslavia and Croatia
Jarni - Yugoslavia and Croatia
Suker - Yugoslavia and Croatia
QUESTIONS -
1. Who came on as a sub in a WC match and scored a hat-trick ?
2. Who came on as a sub in a WC FINAL, scored, and got taken off ?
Both are within last 30 years.
Liverpool had EIGHT different goalscorers that day - a record.Quote:

Am I right ?
1. A guy called Kiss did it for Hungary against El Salvador in '82, not sure if you're thinking of the same one.Quote:

I'm fairly Puskas didn't actually make it onto the pitch for Spain in 1962 (?), although he was included in the squad.
Correct and correct.Quote:

If your country wins the WC but you don't play a single game - you still get a medal - ie Ronaldo in 1994.
If you don't win and you don't play it's 'he never played in a WC' scenario.
Why did Osvaldo Ardiles wear number 2 in 1978WC and number 1 in 1982WC ?
And have England ever done this ?
The numbers were picked on alphabetical order.Quote:

Correct - with ONE exception, a certain Diego Armando.Quote:

Incorrect, England did the same in 1982, with the exception of the goalkeepers and Kevin Keegan - who thought he was Maradona.
FIVE players have won the clean sweep of 1. European Player of the Year (1956+), 2. World Player of the Year (1982+), 3. FIFA World Player of the Year (1991+) in the same year. Who are they and who done it twice?
