A question of Managers

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Unofficial Newcastle United Football Club BBS : One Thread

I've been asked a question to which I can only get two out of three. Anybody else know which three Newcastle Managers have World Cup Medals?

The question usually asked is which three world cup winners have managed at St James' park and the answer is Ardilles, Jack Charlton and Alan Ball (Who managed at St. James' Park, Exeter City)

Jack Charlton, Ossie and I believe Dalglish bought one with the money he got as a pay off from NUFC

Didn't our good mate Mr. Gullitt get one?

Nope, he won a European Championship medal in 1988. He has also just received a fine of €1500 for receiving illegal payments (along with Marco Van Basten and Frank Rijkaard). In the early ‘90s AC Milan paid them a total of €33 million through a tax-avoidance scam. The fine represents a derisory 0.01% of what they were received. That the chairman of AC Milan, Silvio Berlusconi, is also Italy’s current PM is purely coincidental I’m sure.

Just to clarify, that's a £927.75 fine for £20,410,566.69 worth of questionable payments in real money.

Back off Brussels! ;-)
