Who has played in The Premiership, Divisions 1, 2 & 3, The Conference, The Champions League and the UEFA cup?

I'll try Chrissy Waddle- he has been a few times round the block since the Marseille Champions League days?

Nope. He's still playing now.

ta.

still with football:

when the german footballer franco foda made his senior debut (as a substitute) the germans were playing brazil.
why was it an inopportune debut for foda?

well done on that last question UP

His dad was in the Stormtroopers and had murdered Brazilians during the war ? ( i don't even know whose side Brazil were on during the war).

erm, nothing about stormtroopers, no.

[edit] i mentioned it once but i think i got away with it

Well his name sounds quite Brazilian, so had he previously turned out as a schoolboy for Brazil?

Long shot- he was a wa nted Nazi war criminal who had fled to South America (as many did) and on returning to Germany to play for Brazil he was arrested.

good thoughts. but nothing to do with dual nationality.

the answer is to do with the reception he got from the brazilian fans and players

I think I recall this story, does his name translate to something along the lines of Free F***ing?

FSM is near enough:

Hee hee, good question

Still to do with Germans, who designed the black SS uniforms sported by the SS under Himmler?
