Second Henry, just to annoy Scaly and the Irish. Oh and second Ball, because he's the only one I've been next to at a urinal.
Nom Karl-Heinz Rumenigge

First Round
32 ties to get through, so two per day. Negative votes are allowed for those of you of a malicious disposition. 24 hours (or thereabouts) per battle; ten vote lead mercy kill applies.
Battle One  Johan Cruyff (The Netherlands) World Cups: 1 (1974) World Cup Apperances: 7 World Cup Goals: 3 Best Performance: Runner-Up in 1974 Noteable for: The Cruyff turn and being the epitome of that typically Dutch brand of total football that nearly went all the way v  Geoff Hurst (England) World Cups: 2 (1966, 1970) Apps: 6 Goals: 5 Best: Winner in 1966 Noteable for: Being the only man to score a hat-trick in a World Cup final & the only contender to have played first-class cricket v  Michael Owen (England) World Cups: 3 (1998, 2002, 2006) Apps: 10 Goals: 4 Best: Quarter-finalist in 2002 & 2006 Noteable for: A magnificent solo goal versus Argentina as a fleet-footed child in 1998 and "earning" two penalties against the same oppo. Battle two  Paolo Maldini (Italy) World Cups: 4 (1990, 1994, 1998, 2002) Apps: 23 Goals: 0 Best: Runner-Up in 1994 Noteable for: Being an indefatigable presence in the Italian defence for several hundred years V  Alf Ramsey (England) World Cups: 1 (1950) Apps: 3 Goals: 0 Best: First Round in 1950 Noteable for: Being part of the England team to lose 1-0 to the USA & being the man who managed England to the title in 1966. V  Zinedine Zidane (France) World Cups: 3 (1998, 2002, 2006) Apps: 12 Goals: 5 Best: Winner in 1998 Noteable for: Returning from suspension to inspire France to a maiden title and that head-butt. |
