Pete Raven

Last City player with World Cup experience since Helveg?

Pape Diop definitely doesn''t count. It''s an extremely common name in Senegal. Not one of the Senegal squad with that name was the Pape Diop who played at Norwich.

Yep, on further investigation, it appears to be Robert Fleck........played against Sweden in Italia 90 and came on as a sub against Brazil........

Sorry Pete, but it looks like neither of us won!

Surely it depends on the ranking/level of the side. Because aren''t Mulryne and McVeigh established international players who played in the (albeit qualifiers for) the last World Cup? The difference is just that NI is a very lowly nation in the football rankings?

Well researched Templeton. Fleck is our winner. Still think Helveg is our only ever Champions League winner though...

Well, technically we had Jose Maria Bakero (apologies if this is slightly incorrect!)
didn''t he captain Spain and Barcelona for years and win several European cups.
He only played for the reserves and a couple of friendlies though before we decided
we didn''t want him !! He was about 37 though......
