Wikipedia's wrong. The eleven which played both games was
Fred Martin
Willie Cunningham
John Aird
Tommy Docherty
Jimmy Davidson
Doug Cowie
John Mackenzie
Allan Brown
Neil Mochan
Willie Fernie
Willie Ormond

and the other two members of the squad were Bobby Evans and George Hamilton.

Team vs. Austria and vs.Uruguay. Take a look at the given shirt numbers and then this. :p

Fair enough. :mellow:
Actually, I'd never realised that Docherty and Ormond both played for Scotland, as well as managing them, so I learnt something useful there.

No one? Ok, first clue:

When it happened in 1966 Jackie Milburn would've been very proud.

Still no-one? :unsure:

Didn't think my clue was that cryptic!

Ok:

Wor Jackie was the uncle of the two players who achieved this in 1966

OK, so we're talking about 2 brothers in the winning side. Apart from the Charltons, I don't *think* that's happened in my lifetime and I'm too busy at present to check planetworldcup. Maybe one of the Italian sides in the 30's?

Yep. It's brothers in a World Cup winning team. :)

The other is post-war, but before '66.

The very same! The Walters & Jack & Bobby are the only brothers to play in World Cup winning teams. Don't think it can be equalled this time.

Your go. :)

I have played in three World Cups. The first time I played in the competition my shirt number was higher than my age. Who am I, what was my number, what was my age?
