World cup winners who have then played at the Valley?

Manic_mania

I would have thought it is fairly unlikely we will see Brighton's Macallister on Wednesday night... but it did get me thinking, how many (and who) have ever won a world cup and then subsequently played on the REAL big stage in a competitive game?

I haven't googled it or anything so I have no real idea; I'm thinking Desailly? Petit? Leboeuf? I imagine some of the 66 England world cup winners did? (just a bit before my time)

Any glaring ones i've forgotten?

Thierry Henry, Emmanuel Petit... Good few of the France '98 squad

Gilberto Silva too from the Brazil 2002 team no doubt

Dugary for Birmingham, The Bolton French man who's name I can't spell.

Oliver Bierhoff I don't think won the world cup.

Deschamps and Desailly for Chelsea.

Depends, did they play at the Valley, after winning the World Cup in 2010?

Same would apply to Bierhoff, if he ever won a world cup...
