Kid Icarus Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 Shefti Kuqi is the only one I can think of who seems likely. After that I'd be just guessing which international players might have played a qualifier against Finland at some point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same nation in 2010s. Other was a flop for us and the other superb. edit. And the country is a one that usually has success, so don't think about georgians or azerbaijans of the world..

Fak Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 15 minutes ago, KingArthur said: This might be ridiculously difficult, but nevermind. I have seen 4 players, that at some part of their careers have played for NUFC, to play competitive European game (Qualifier) in Finland. (In my knowledge NUFC has never played there) Name the four players. None of them are active anymore, but have played in this century. And all of them have caps for their National team. In addition, I have seen 3 players that have at some point played for Newcastle, to play an International Qualifier in Finland. 2/3 of these are from 2010s and 1/3 2000s. Name these. 1 of them is obvious. Additional hints given if (and when) required. Just to rule out any confusion, have they had to have made an appearance for NUFC? Or just be contracted/signed on to NUFC? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if Wikipedia is to be trusted, all of them except the mentioned Shefki Kuqi and the one international player who was a flop, have also scored for NUFC.

Fak Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 Roger that. And just to confirm, they weren't necesarily playing for a Finnish team? Ie. it could have been Xisco playing for a Spanish team away in Finland in a Europa League game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrific guess, but he was on the bench against Finland according to TM and I wasn't at that match anyway.

You are guessing right player but a wrong game. I saw him score a hat trick for Liverpool against FC Haka in UCL qualification game in August 2001. Right players: 3 international players: - Kuqi - Yohan Cabaye - Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa And European games - Owen 2001 - Hamann 2001 - Louis Saha 2002 - Alain Goma 2002 Edited November 25 by KingArthur Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingArthur Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 (edited) Hamann is right. Played in the same game against Haka 2001. Cannot remember seeing Moore or Lovenkrands 2 missing european game players played for the same English team. See if this helps enough.

Wullie Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 You could guess forever really so I'd already been looking at mainly HJK's European qualifiers, but more recent. Moore played against Haka in 99/00, a 4-1 Rangers win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moore played against Haka in 99/00, a 4-1 Rangers win. True, it is too difficult. So the missing European game players are 2 players, who played in the same PL team against a Finnish team, and represented NUFC between 1998-2001. (in this same game, I also saw one future mackem play. The mentioned mackem got an assist against us for Sunderland at SOL in 2010. We lost 2-1, Richardson FK winner) Missing internationals are from a successful international team and other one of them is Euro Runner up. And both of them played for us in 2010s. Seems like both of them are retired now. edit. Tavernier and Ba are not right. Edited November 25 by KingArthur Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant all these players have played during this century, so they aren't age old guys. Sorry for making this even more harder . And Andersson & Tomasson are not right answers.
