Just behind is Lionel Messi with 40 (10 La Ligas, 7 Copas Del Rey, 7 Supercopas de España, four Champions Leagues, three Super Cups, three Club World Cups, two Ligue 1 titles, one Trophées des Champions, one MLS Cup, one Supporters Shield and one Leagues Cup). Clear in fourth place is Dani Alves (one Copa do Nordeste, five Copas del Rey, five Supercopas de España, two Uefa Cups, four Super Cups, six La Liga titles, three Champions Leagues, three Club World Cups, one Serie A title, one Coppa Italia, two Ligue 1 titles, one Coupe de France, one Coupe de la Ligue, one Trophées des Champions and one Campeonato Paulista).” Barcelona, Fifa and the Royal Spanish Football Federation credit Messi with winning the 2005 Supercopa de España, which would place him equal with Marquinhos, but he did not feature in the squad for either game so we’re not having that. If you have a player who can surpass that, drop us a line.
All played professionally across Scotland and England but only including tiers one, three and four in England. Thankfully, Mike O’Dea and Michael Haughey were on hand with a better example. Kelvin in the third with Walsall, Derek in the second with Oxford and Orient, Frank in the second with Carlisle and Allan in the top flight with Leeds.
Wayne made his First Division debut with Wolves in the final game of the 1977-78 season, so briefly there were five Clarke brothers playing in the league. That summer Frank and Kelvin retired, also Derek would play only one more game, while on loan at Carlisle. Allan joined Fourth Division Barnsley as player-manager.
This was the only time one of the Clarke brothers played fourth-tier football. He promptly got Barnsley promoted at the first attempt.” So the Clarke brothers played across the top four tiers in England if you allow for Allan covering tiers one and four, but they definitely didn’t cover all four in one season, missing out narrowly in 1978. It seems we have a new winner in regards to the question last month about the furthest up the field a keeper had been sent off, so kudos to Luke Levy, who got back in touch.
With Bayern Munich trailing Hansa Rostock 3-2, Kahn went up for the corner and, using all his tenacity, explosiveness and wit, leapt above the rest to double-fist punch the ball into the opponent’s net. That was within the opponents’ six-yard box, with Kahn given a second yellow. I would like to see any other exploit in taking an early bath that beats that.” “Midnite are the 26-27 shirt sponsors for three Championship sides; Middlesbrough, Sheffield United and Wolves,” Peter Skilton notes.
Is this a record, and which brand has sponsored the most different teams in a single league?” Dirk Maas comes in clutch with the answer here. In 1990, 16 out of 20 teams were sponsored by Coca-Cola. Only Corinthians (Kalunga), Flamengo (Lubrax), Náutico (Banorte) and Portuguesa (Hudson) did not have Coca-Cola as shirt sponsor.
