There are a load of questions (and most with answers) here. Although the answers are right with the questions, so you''ll see them straight away.

 

If you actually want to work out the answers, I can separate out the questions/answers so far and put them here.

Would Bobby Mimms have got a medal with Everton (85 and/or 87) and Blackburn (95)?

I've check Gordon Cowans and he wasn't there when they won it in 95.

 

So far by my reckoning there's:

David Batty - Leeds (92) & Blackburn (95)

Eric Cantona - Leeds (92) & Man Utd (93)

Bobby Mimms - Everton (87) & Blackburn (95)

John Lukic - Leeds (92) & Arsenal (98)
