They Played for Boro during a World Cup Tournament

Need to clarify this doesn’t include Boro players at world cups when with other clubs ie nobby Styles.
 
Good quiz. Had a brain fart on northern Ireland, knew who he was just couldn't come up with the name.

Couldn't get Ghana, forgot he played for them!

And I think you're right about Juninho atypical.
 
Juninho finally got a work permit on August 3 2002 after the World Cup but pretty sure I remember a pre contractual agreement had been shaken on before he went off to the 2002 Tournament. That doesn’t mean he was our player then Of course.
 
I agree. I think the Juninho one is dubious.

Even if he’d actually signed for us before the World Cup (which he hadn’t) the final was played on 30th June, meaning he would have still been a contracted Atletico Madrid player.

27th July as per above was when he agreed terms.

I distinctly remember because I remember McClaren saying that he'd watched him in the World Cup and thought 'why not?'.

True. I wasn't able to spell the Nigerian player and wasted time too much.

I'd never have got it. He's in a very long list of players from the past ten years who I've forgotten about completely. Including some who are still at the club.
