Optimistic Nut Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Last night, intrigued by the thought of Shola at a World Cup, I started to think about which NUFC players were at past World Cups. It's never felt like many but next summer we could have loads (Ameobi, Krul, Cabaye, Sissoko, Ben Arfa, Debuchy, Santon, Tiote/Cisse, Colo etc). All I can remember is: 1998: Shearer, Batty 2002: Dyer, Given 2006: Owen 2010: Gutierrez, Geremi Any more? Was Tomasson gone by France 98? Had Guivarc'h officially signed? Also Gavilan was on our books in 2002 I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Lee and Gavilan, yeh. Although Gavilan was being farmed out everywhere by that point I couldn't be bothered to go before '98 but its never been more than 3 or 4 at once. It'll be nice to see our squad all over Brazil next summer, unless they get injured. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 George Robledo went to the the 1950 World Cup. Was the only player in any squad to be based outside his country n all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
