There's a blast from the past, had forgotten he ever existed! Good keeper

**osarusan** · 12/12/2007, 2:43 PM

just checked wiki - he has 143 caps. Must be up there with the most-capped.

**DmanDmythDledge** · 12/12/2007, 2:45 PM

He is fourth.

I could have sworn it was him so I looked it up- I doubt anyone will get it.

Well done!

The other lad is Estonian alright.

Also England were "assumed" as original holders as they formed the game I guess, either way they lost it to Scotland who were the other team to play the first international game so it makes no difference!

Still playing, from one of the Baltic countries, main club FC Flora (over 300 appearances for them).

**osarusan** · 12/12/2007, 2:51 PM

just checked and I'd never heard of him. (until now, obviously)

**jebus** · 12/12/2007, 2:57 PM

By the power of Football Manager I say it is Martin Reim

**kingdom hoop** · 12/12/2007, 3:11 PM

3) Which club has won the most consecutive league titles in the world?

4) Which club has spent the most seasons in the French top flight?

5) Which player has played club football in the top flight of the English, French, German, Spanish and Italian leagues?

6) Which player holds the record amount of international caps for a European country?

7) Which country has finished as runners-up in the World Cup most often?

8) Which country did the Faroe Islands beat in their first ever competitive match?

9) Which player scored the first ever "Golden Goal" in a World Cup Finals match.

10) Assuming England were the original world champions and that the "world championship title" is passed on when the holder is beaten who would now be the current holders? (OK I know no-one will get this but it will be interesting to see some of the guesses!)

Is 6 Thomas Ravelli?

Also, I presume that the world cup winners would probably be the answer to number 10, so assuming Italy were the holders at one stage in that group, it must have bounced around that group a bit, via Scotland, Georgia so whoever beat Georgia on the last matchday. Ukraine?

Still though, never get in the way of a quest for more knowledge, no matter how irrelevant at the time it will come into its own in some way some day!

I'm pretty sure the Egyptian Hassan is the most capped in the world??
