Quiz- Ballon d'Or (10 Viewers)

[Mercian In Anglia]

Can you name the 6 Sky Blues to have been awarded points/received votes for the Ballon d'Or?

Nominated but nil points doesn't cut it, and they must have been on the books as a senior player or manager- no testimonial run outs/wore our shirt as the kitman messed up types. And no you can't have Benzo Sheafo either.

I've counted 3 players, 2 gaffers and one player manager. In true CET website style, you won't BELIEVE who one of the managers is. Answers below.

Spoiler: Answers

M Hateley, P Shilton, G Strachan, V Gyokeres, F Lampard and... P Reid

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Chris Coleman?!
Vik Gyokeres
Jarni

That’s a few random names to put in the ring.

I can't believe I've just had to double check if Chris Coleman ever had a Ballon D'Or nomination.

I thought it could’ve been a random nomination somewhere!

If I dug deep enough, I would’ve got 2, maybe 3 names in the spoilers. 2 of the names I’d have been here all night and not got anywhere near!

I can guess which two!

Strachan?

 

[Shannerz]

Lampard, surely.

Vik has been nominated, and presumably got points.

Player manager; Terry Butcher? I know he was an established international, but does the Balloon Door have a blood-soaked clogger category?

Phil Neal? He won a stupid amount of trophies.

Dennis Mortimer, perhaps; Mark Hateley? I'm just guessing really.

Without looking at other’s answers:

Robbie Keane
Gyokeres
Moldovan
Lampard
Phil Neal
Terry Butcher

 

[Sky Blue Wozza]

2 out of 6. Pathetic.

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Joe Cole surely?

 

[rob9872]

Got Strachan, Vik and Lampard. Some other great shouts listed by above I'd have had before considering the other 3 actuals.

 

[Mercian In Anglia]

Joe Cole surely?

Nominated once, no votes. He was no Gary Pallister, tbf.

 

[Mercian In Anglia]

Lampard, surely.

Hateley sent me down the rabbit hole when looking him up on the B Internationals thread. Not one I'd have guessed in a month of Sundays, fair play.
