?% Villa - managers who won the European Cup

[pauliewalnuts]

Randomly thinking today, having watched that thing with Lambert talking about his EC win as a player on Sky last night, we have had three managers who have won the European Cup as players.

I was wondering, which English clubs have more? And if there are any, how many of them had managers who won it with clubs other than themselves?

EDIT - I just worked out that Newcastle who can beat us - Keegan, Souness, Dalglish, Gullit and Terry McDermott. Impressively so, as more than one of theirs won it multiple times, and with different clubs.

Man City have had a few, if you include caretakers.

Kidd, McNeill, Clark, Neal, Keegan

Edit - Blackburn have had Sounness, Dalglish, Berg and Kiddo

Wycombe Wanderers have had two. They'll be tough to match from the lower leagues I'd imagine.

Swansea spring to mind. Laudrup won it with Barcelona, Sousa won it with Juventus and Jimmy Rimmer has two winners medals and was their caretaker manager. Also John Toshack, who may or may not have been in the final squads for Liverpool in '77 or '78, but definitely played a part somewhere along the line.

As an aside,Villa have had 4 keepers who have played in European Cup finals .Rimmer,Spink and Schmeichel on the winning side and a losers medal for  which keeper who played for us ?

It's nothing special, even Tamworth have had one.

exactly as does Plymouth as calibre of player doesn't always match manager skills.  Shilton for the record.
If people are mentioning Kidd then its 5 for Bolton (Inc temp takers) Lee, Neal, Dunne, Mcgovern and Irwin.

 And i think we had Allan Evans. So that makes 4 for villa!

Preston have had three.

Rotherham had two at once when McGovern and Gemmill were joint managers. I am struggling to think of Preston's third after Charlton and Stiles.
