[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

I know Rich got 5, and after looking it up I'd never have guessed the 6th.

[Rich]

I got 5?! Wonderful.

I bet it's Ian Wright

[Dynamite]

It's Mike Newell for Blackburn, isn't it? Scored the fastest hat-trick in the tournament at the time. Not sure if it's been bettered since.

[9 to 5]

As above. >_>

Sadly it has been beaten, last year iirc.

[DavidMarrio]

Yep Mike Newell was the last one. Thought that'd be the one that might throw people off

[Rich]

No wonder I didn't get that, I don't like to remember Mike Newell exists, utter piece of garbage.

[Dynamite]

Who is the only English player to have played in a Champions League (post 1992 version) final but has never received a full international cap?

[9 to 5]

David May, surely?

[Rich]

He never played in the final

[9 to 5]

He never played

[Rafael]

Ryan Bertrand?

EDIT: Oh, he's capped.

[Matt]

I don't think Pennant ever played for England and I'm fairly sure he played in the final for Liverpool

[DavidMarrio]

Must be Pennant. He had his best game for Liverpool in that Champions League final too!! Shame the rest of the time he was shite.

[Gazz]

Honka

There's a team name with 'Dong' and 'Long' in it and you went with Honka?

It's Pablo Counago by the way.

[Dynamite]

Yes, Pennant is correct. Surprised he never got a cap. Just being an English winger normally got you a minimum of 5 caps back then.

[Matt]

His off field problems (drink driving, domestic abuse, driving without a licence off the top of my head) probably had a role in that.

Of course this was back in the day where we didn't appoint thugs and racists as captains.

[Gazz]

My favourite memory of Jermaine Pennant was that his excuse for driving whilst disqualified was that he was illiterate, which everyone thought was a bullshit excuse till it turned out to be actually true.

Its up there with Fergies "I've got the shits so I drove down the hard shoulder" excuse from years ago.

[Jimmy]

I thought i'd throw in a different type of trivia question just to mix it up.

Name the 6 English players to score a hattrick in the Champions League.

My first go and you steal my thunder!!!

Honka

There's a team name with 'Dong' and 'Long' in it and you went with Honka?

It's Pablo Counago by the way.

Bingo.

Wilfried Bony beat it when playing in France.
