Off the top of my head: Well, it's definitely not Herr Scholl, Eberhard, despite his impressive haul. "Manchester United's Ryan Giggs also has eight English championship medals, as do Liverpool's Alan Hansen, Phil Neal and Kenny Dalglish," observes Steve Allen. "But to beat that we need to find an uncompetitive league, dominated by a single club for the best part of a decade, where loyalty is an important quality. That'll be Scotland then." Indeed, as Fraser Campbell points out, "Ally McCoist won a total of 8 championship medals with Rangers, Richard Gough won a total of nine at Ibrox with Rangers, while Ian Ferguson won 10 with the club between 1988 and 2000." Further afield, Claudio Gameiro offers Porto's goalkeeping legend Vitor Baia, who won nine Portuguese league titles, while Mircea Lordache can match McCoist's tally. Not himself, obviously, but he did send this: "Steaua Bucharest's skipper and hero Marius Lacatus won a total of 10 national titles in Romania between 1985 and 1998. In total, Lacatus won over 20 trophies with the red and blues, if we include a few Romanian Supercups." It's good, but it's not the one, as Catchphrase host Roy Walker might say. Time to head back north of the border, where Celtic's Bobby Lennox collected 11 titles in the 60s and 70s. Thanks Graeme Gardiner, but it's still not enough. Nor is the 12 won by Francisco Gento of Real Madrid between 1954 and 1969. Step forward ... ... "Roar Strand of Rosenborg, who must be hard to beat," opines Anders Haug Larsen. "He has collected 13 league titles in Norway." Beatrice Lindgren also suggests Mr Strand, but then throws in this curveball: "Skonto Riga won the Latvian league 14 years in a row, so it is possible that some of their players can beat Strand's record." Hmm. So, armed with only the smallest amount of pidgin Latvian, a notepad and a large anorak, we set off into the Skonto archives and emerged days later carrying Mihalis Zemlinskis under one arm and Olegs Blagonadezdins under the other, each with 13 championship medals dangling around their necks, having narrowly missed out on Skonto's 1991 league triumph.
