nuttytimmy Posted 10 June 2012 Share Posted 10 June 2012 After SSL's wonderful headed goal for Ireland against Croatia tonight, which other serving City players have scored at major international tournaments (i.e. European/World Cup finals)? I'm actually after the last serving player to score at the Euros, if you're reading this Foxblogger! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col city fan Posted 10 June 2012 Share Posted 10 June 2012 Good for SSL... I've always liked the Ireland team. Mi second favourite international team. Ill be buggered if I can think of other serving players to have scored. Must be some though surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col city fan Posted 10 June 2012 Share Posted 10 June 2012 Heskey I thought this was 'serving' players as in playing for City when they scored? Or have I read it wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zingari Posted 10 June 2012 Share Posted 10 June 2012 I thought of McAllister but that was in 92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al-aLondon-Foxile Posted 10 June 2012 Share Posted 10 June 2012 You think Lineker played for England when he was at Leicester? Don't think so? He made his debut for England whilst still at city, pretty sure it was a sub appearance against Scotland at Hamden park. Don't think he scored whilst he played for us tho. I'd say Joey Gudjohnasson would be a good bet as a scorer for Iceland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orangecity23 Posted 10 June 2012 Share Posted 10 June 2012 Sol Bamba scored his penalty in the African Cup of Nations shootout (at the 2nd attempt). Doesn't really count though. I don't think Theo scored at a major tourney while at city, when Greece won the Euros, Zagorakis wasn't with us any more - we did have Dabizas though, don't think he played much though.
