Never to have won the CL or WC: Zola

Best International footballer question should be someone who won the Ballon d'Or and never won the world cup or it becomes a matter of opinion. One of the best is Christiano Ronaldo and i say it cause Portugal has much of a chance at winning the world cup as a snowball chance in hell. Olympics who really cares. Tennis you aren't considered great unless you won one major so you can't answer that. If you can answer all the questions then you really need to get out more.

[footycard steve]

Name the best..........

1. International footballer never to have won the world cup?
2. Footballer in Europe never to have won the European Cup/Champions League?
3. Golfer never to have won a major?
4. Tennis player never to have won a grand slam event?
5. Boxer never to have won a world title?
6. Olympic athlete to never win a gold medal?

4.pam shriver
5.michael watson,michael brodie
6.probably somebody that boycotted moscow
7.easiest of all jimmy white but spare a thought for paul hunter he surely would have won it.

[Jaffa]

What about the best footballer NEVER to have a full international cap.

Steve Bruce..........how on earth you can be Man Utd captain and not even get a friendly appearance for your country still baffles me to this day.

Steve Backley

Yh i agree with that one, what about Paula Radcliffe?

[mattybhoy]

Athlete - Sonia O'Sullivan & Radcliffe.

Snooker - White & Hunter (would have won at least one).

Boxer - Bomber Graham was one of the most skillful boxes I've seen.

Footballers not to win world cup - Far too many, but I'd mention - Di St?fano, Eus?bio, Zico, Platini, Best, Johnstone, S?crates, Cruyff, Messi, Pusk

[rds60h]

International footballer never to have won World Cup and also not to have won the European Cup (he was out injured for the final) Denis Law.
Scotland's finest, followed by a few others from Scotland with the same distinction could be Billy Bremner, John Greig, Peter Lorimer, Joe Jordan and Gordan McQueen.

[andy91]

Golfers not to win a major,Lee Westwood and Colin Montgomery though Westwood still has a chance.

To be fair to Monty he was playing his best golf when Tiger was.

Andy.

[zee24]

Sergio Garcia don't think hes won a golfin major yet

[johnboy1974]

Jimmy Johnstone (jinky) another, King of Kings Henrik Larson,Sir alex, list could go on all night... of greats that never won the world cup.

What- sir alex he wasnt even a decent player just average at best. As for jinky yes i agree but larson he said himself he wasnt a world class player.

[gracieboo]

Footballer. Has to be darko pancev of red star belgrade. if they hadn,t have went to civil war this guy would have been the greatest. well thats my two cents anyhow.

Gordan McQueen??

This topic's getting wider, but going on the above of ;- a Scot, not winning a European Cup & of course a world cup... Danny McGrain has to be in that list. I would also put Cooper and McStay a long way above McQueen.
