Last night, intrigued by the thought of Shola at a World Cup, I started to think about which NUFC players were at past World Cups. It's never felt like many but next summer we could have loads (Ameobi, Krul, Cabaye, Sissoko, Ben Arfa, Debuchy, Santon, Tiote/Cisse, Colo etc). All I can remember is:

 

1998: Shearer, Batty

2002: Dyer, Given

2006: Owen

2010: Gutierrez, Geremi

 

Any more?

 

Was Tomasson gone by France 98? Had Guivarc'h officially signed? Also Gavilan was on our books in 2002 I think.

Lee and Gavilan, yeh. Although Gavilan was being farmed out everywhere by that point :lol: I couldn't be bothered to go before '98 but its never been more than 3 or 4 at once. It'll be nice to see our squad all over Brazil next summer, unless they get injured.

Friedel was only on trial and it was after the World Cup, wasn't it? We got Albert just after WC94 as well.

He was but couldn't get a work permit at that time from what i remember. And Albert's goal in that WC  :smitten:

Latest quiz online for those who like this sort of thing:

 

http://hotspurfootiequiz.weebly.com/quiz-6---february-14.html

 

My favorite example:

 

First English player to make major tournament appearances in three separate decades, those tournaments being the 1988 Euros; 1996 Euros; 1998 World Cup and 2000 Euros

 

Totally forgot about this last night. Another hard quiz and another mid table finish I'd imagine. Keeps me busy asking the lads at work today :thup:
