    Underage or senior?

    More like a sports question than a trivia one imo

    Well Gary Breen's grandfather won an All Ireland with Kerry, so there's a decent chance he has inheirited it, and every player who played in Japan/South Korea got a medal to prove it, so he definately has a World Cup medal, just not a winner's medal

    I only heard the question this morning and I was just told now the answer was socrates. He won a sigerson alright.

    But as aldini says above he never won a world cup winners medal.

    What a waste a time . Apologies

    Unfortunately think it's an urban legend. He studied in the Royal College of Surgeons alright but never played football (or soccer for that matter) with them.

    That's right. Other urban myths include him playing for UCD and playing in the Collingwood for RCSI.

    Northampton Town are another. There's a City as well but I can't remember who.

    Did you ever notice that in every painting of Adam & Eve, they have belly buttons. Think about that...take as long as you want.
