[The Abusement Park]

Giggs?

That's half of it.

Scholes?

Surprisingly he wasn't.

Edit: I think he was suspended if I remember correctly?

 

[JaymzB]

Gary Neville?

 

[Savant]

Anelka it is. CL with Real and Chelsea.

Abusement P, you're up.

Liverpool letting Anelka go and and Signing El Hadji Diouf instead is one of the biggest sliding doors moments for that team.

 

[Savant]

Probably one of the lousy defenders that only Ferguson could get anything out of like Brown or O’Shea

Giggs and Wes Brown.

Scholes was suspended for the 99 final. Gary Neville was injured in 2008 and only came back in a few weeks before the CL final.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Yup. Giggs and Wes Brown is correct. You're up @East Coast Bias

If memory serves, the Fiorentina team that had Julinho in it.

you are correct. You’re up.

That same Fiorentina team included an inside forward named Miguel Montuori who himself achieved a 'first' in the Italian national team's history.

What was Montuori's achievement?

First player to play not born in italy

 

[Stray Wasp]

Afraid not.

My understanding is Italy first capped a foreign-born player as early as 1920.

In the time of Mussolini, meanwhile, Italy won two World Cups with teams that featured naturalised South Americans - including one player who had played for Argentina in the 1930 World Cup final. But there may be a future quiz question in that, so I'll add no more.

So as not to stall things much longer, if I don't have an answer by the time I first pop on here tomorrow, I think I'll share the answer.

A clue: ecemleafs was in the right vicinity.
