    Is it not Hampden Park - 130,000 or something daft for one of Real Madrid's early European Cup wins? Against Eintracht Frankfurt maybe?

    Edit - 127,621 in 1960.

    Darren O'Dea looked like he was going to have a crack at it there for a while!

    No idea regarding the European attendance record, although I'd be surprised if it was 'only' 127,000.

    I think the world record is the famous Brazil Uruguay 'final' in 1950, although after Googling it I can't say for sure. It was the record for all sports at one stage I think. I did discover that the guy who scored the winning goal for Uruguay died last year, the only remaining player from that team. He died on the 16th July, 65 years to the day after scoring the winning goal. Amazing really.

    Alcides Ghiggian. Apparently he went to Brazil just a few years back and the passport officer - who wasn't born in 1950 of course - looked at his passport in amazement and asked if he was the real Alcides Ghiggia. Said they've never forgotten.

    I think that is the world record alright - 199,000 or something. Officially.

    The biggest stadium in the world today is in Pyongyang, though it's "only" 150,000 capacity.

    Edit - a bit of googling suggests the 1937 Scottish Cup Final, also in Hampden, as having the European record. Attendance - 146,433. Some pathé newsreel footage is on YouTube -

    Hampden. About 135,000 for Celtic v Leeds 1970 European Cup semi-final. I have the programme somewhere. By 'European' match I'm assuming you mean a game in European competition, otherwise the Hampden record is something like 150,000 for an inter-war international v England or cup final.

    I wonder where the 1-7 will rank by comparison in 60/70 years?!

    From the SFA site http://www.scottishfa.co.uk/scottish....cfm?page=3091 The attendance record for a game at Hampden was set at 149,415 during a clash between Scotland and England in 1937, still a European record to this day.

    Another one: which is the only club to have changed its name after winning the English league?
    Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.

    Zinedine Zidane became the seventh man to win the Champions League/European Cup as both a player and a manager last night. Can you name the other six?

    All correct. One more fairly obvious one, the other not so much.

    Trap yes. One to go. I'd be impressed if somebody knows though, I hadn't heard of him at all.

    Not Di Matteo, never as a player.
