The first player to score in all five was Jimmy Willis, ex-Leicester city. (left 1997)
Met him a few months ago, got injured and retired, just before the big money started in football.
Now a black cab driver in Liverpool ( a scruffy cab at that-a TX1)

The Steve Finnan answer is wrong for all those pub quiz folk !

Well done.

How about this simple one that many get wrong. Who holds the record as the most capped England footballer?

I'm guessing Portsmouth, who won it in 1939, as there were no finals during the war.
