By UEFA final, do you mean UEFA Cup, Europa League or the Euros?

The UEFA Cup

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Fara Williams?

Edit, no that's silly now, there aren't four Women's divisions are there? Or a conference.

 

[maltaseagull]

I won't answer as I looked it up but thought it would be a player who had been on loan at a few clubs.

Would never have guessed this one!

Jamie Vardy? No, I guess the Europa league had replaced the UEFA cup by the time he emerged. This one is very hard.

Was going to say Teddy Sheringham, as he played in the lower divisions but never in a UEFA Cup final

How about Jermain Defoe?

Edit - no not in champions league final.

 

[Yes Chef]

David Seaman?

 

[Barham's tash]

None of the above.

His stint in the Conference was with Welling United

After trawling the web based on that clue, I've got it. But that's cheating. Certainly not a name that would immediately spring to mind!

Just to introduce a rule clarification.

Obviously these quiz answers are based on trust. However, in the case of a question like this, there is no harm in looking through all the UEFA Cup finals etc and trying to research the clubs who would have played and the teams that were involved. It's when folk don't self regulate and just directly look for an answer. There's no victory in that.

I've trawled through all the finals and looked up various players and I still don't have a fecking clue who it is.

It’s niche I’ll grant you but I have an image of him stood holding a guitar with some floppy hair and that’s where it came from....

Name the player to have played in all four professional leagues in England, the Conference/National League, the UEFA and Champions League finals together with the World Cup.

I don't think the player you have in mind played in a UEFA Cup final. He simply played in the previous stages. Everything else fits.

I did the same. Wasn't sure whether it was cheating or not. Eventually got it by looking up ex-Welling Utd players.

I guess the rule is pretend it's a pub quiz - no checking phones. So not really allowed.

That’s possible - I self regulated to check myself and can’t find him in a UEFA cup final so apologies for that, but it’s still bloody hard without that particular element.

Another clue for those still in:

He played @ World Cup 2002 for a “home” nation team

Andy Townsend

Andy Townsend

Scrub that just reread question

 

[Eeyore]

Just to update the question then. This player has:

Played in all four leagues (and for Welling)
Represented a 'home nation' (slight clue in the presentation of that) in a World Cup
Played in a European Champions League Final
Played in the UEFA Cup (but not in a final).

I know the answer. But looked directly rather than investigated. So I can't claim the next question.

 

[atfc village]

Steve Finnan.

 

[Barham's tash]

Steve Finnan.

Correct! [MENTION=27288]atfc village[/MENTION] you’re up.

Glad that took a while but have always liked it as it really stumped me too!
