World cup winners who have then played at the Valley?

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?

    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.

    Cesc?  More of that Spanish team maybe.

    Did Pique ever play for United against us?

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