	Tough quiz, only got the Irish and Northern Irish players!

	devzrulz:	Jan 15th, 2010 at 15:13 GMT	2 points
	your source gives the name of the azerbaijan and the israeli players with different spellings than what's accepted here, and it also gives the Northern Irish player as Pat Jennings, not George Best.

	In the press release on 29 November 2003, Sergey Kvochkin and Pat Jennings were listed as the Golden Players of Kazakhstan and Northern Ireland respectively. However, in the player profiles posted by UEFA.com in 2004, Evgeni Jarovenko and George Best were listed instead. It is not clear what are the reasons for the discrepancies. I accepted both players for N. Ireland and Kazakhstan.

	pbysr:	Jan 15th, 2010 at 15:58 GMT	3 points
	Both the spellings on UEFA.com and on the quiz are acceptable considering that both are transliterated names. I would petition sporcle editors to make Banishevski acceptable for Azerbaijan and Shpigler for Israel.

	Tried Hansen for Scotland, was surprised to get the Faroe Islands player, since his name's not Hansen.

	This is definitely one of the tougher football quizzes on here. I only got 16 players right and I haven't even heard of most of the players i didn't get.

	Nice idea. But it's a real tough quiz and for that reason not the most enjoyable - however, that's not the fault of the quizmaster.

	Very tough, which is nice. Delighted to get 18 - the number of Germans from the 70s, 80s and 90s I guessed without ever thinking back to Fritz Walter.

	to see pat jennings top guessed answer shows what scandalous cheats everyone is reading this before giving up

	Rhys:	Jan 16th, 2010 at 06:36 GMT	3 points
	Law over Dalglish? hmph.

	yashcmarathe:	Jan 16th, 2010 at 14:19 GMT	4 points
	@flinty: Actually I think everybody guessed George Best :)

	tjvhammer:	Jan 16th, 2010 at 19:35 GMT	1 point
	who picked these players? Fontaine over Platini, Walter over Beckenbauer, Larsson over Ravelli. Was half expecting Eusebio to have missed out

	good quiz. v hard!!

	FRITZ WALTER?!

	rm321:	Jan 18th, 2010 at 02:55 GMT	1 point
	Some weird choices, I have to agree.

	olly26c:	Jan 20th, 2010 at 17:20 GMT	1 point
	I assume they went for Fritz Walter because he played and won the World Cup for a unified Germany rather than West.

	noamshouseparty:	Jan 21st, 2010 at 17:40 GMT	1 point
	Should accept 'Alvarez' for Andorra's 'Koldo', his was the first name I entered & I was surprised not to get it correct. Should have tried Koldo I guess...

	Maltus:	Jan 23rd, 2010 at 21:55 GMT	1 point
	'Hansen' is accepted for the Faroe Island player as his full name is Abraham Lokin Hansen.

	rm321:	Jan 26th, 2010 at 02:39 GMT	1 point
	@olly26c: No he didn't, he was playing for West Germany in 1954, a united Germany has never won the World Cup.

	olly26c:	Jan 27th, 2010 at 02:09 GMT	1 point
	So he was. I was dating it to the Berlin Wall for some reason.

	31. Niiice. Since I'm from the former Yugoslavia, I knew 5 instantly. I don't know how, but I forgot Law. But I remembered Bonini, the man who declined to play for Italy because of his homeland. Wow. Anyway, GREAT QUIZ!

	MessiMagic:	Apr 18th, 2010 at 14:16 GMT	-1 points
	who the **** is Pat Jennings??

	Collino:	Apr 20th, 2010 at 20:15 GMT	2 points
	Pat jennings was an awesome keeper, but surely Best is their number one player. Mart Poom made me laugh!!!

	Giles ahead of McGrath? Throws computer out of window in disgust
