Still no answer for this:

A striker who played for Brazil
Change one letter and he becomes....
A striker who played for Brian Clough!

(Name the players)

Clue: The Brazilian won the World Cup in 1994...

Who were the lucky losers in the FA Cup season 1999 - 2000 and why?

Ahhh, I can't think who that defender might be. It won't be Tony Adams as no Arsenal players were in the squad apart from Seaman (who had just signed from QPR). But whoever he was, he must have played with Butcher and Wright when England played the sweeper system. Ohhhh, can't remember....

Charlton?

I'm thinking it must have been in the 1946 FA Cup when most of the rounds were two-legged affairs.

 

[astevens76]

Charlton?

in 1946, apparantly. the early rounds were 2 legs, and they lost one of them.

good effort!

EDIT: just seen your edit.even better effort!
