My mate hit me with a variation of that one the other day and it had me stumped.
He also set me another - “Which football shirt sponsor is the most successful in terms of honours won by the teams it sponsors(ed)?”
Real Madrid and Inter Milan?
At a guess, it would be whoever had most of the sponsorship that Liverpool had in the late seventies or early eighties. Crown Paint possibly?
Failing that it would be whoever sponsored Real Madrid in the glory years around the turn of the century, but can’t remember for sure.
I'd say sharp as Man utd shirt sponsors 18 trophies in that time, no doubt I'll be wrong tho Haha
Although Botafogo aren't the biggest of Brazilian clubs, they do come from a wealthy and glamorous neighbourhood which allowed them to attract many top players in the swinging 60s.
Im sure Botafogo were easily the most represented side of the great Brazilian 1970 side, perhaps the best ever.
I've always though of Santos of being a football factory type club, churning out amazing kid after amazing kid.
These two clubs punch well above their weight in comparison to much bigger sides
Smartie!!!!!
On shirt sponsorship Siemans have sponsored Real Madrid, Juve, Chelsea and Bayern amongst others.
Apologies - forgot I posted that one last night after a few too many drinks then forgot all about it!
The correct answer is actually the first attempt made - Opel.
“Car manufacturers Opel have adorned the shirts of 45 trophy-winning teams:
* Bayern Munich (16) Six Bundesligas, two German Cups, four League Cups, DFB Super Cup, Champions League, Uefa Cup, Intercontinental Cup.
* Milan (nine) Three Serie A titles, one Coppa Italia, two Supercoppas, one Champions League, two Uefa Super Cups.
* PSG (six) Two French Cups, two League Cups, Trophée des Champions, European Cup Winners’ Cup
* Sparta Prague (five) Four Czech league titles, one Czech Cup
* Bordeaux (four) Ligue 1 title, two French cups, Trophée des Champions
* Hapoel Haifa (two) Israeli league title, Toto Cup
* Feyenoord (two) Eredivisie title, Dutch Cup
* Standard Liège (one) Belgian Cup”
Some great stats on this thread
Re: Ajax, IIRC although they provided the core of the legendary 1974 team there were a decent number from Feyenoord and PSV as well. By 1978 the great Ajax team had broken up so I guess many of the national team players would be at other clubs.
Latterly they've produced loads of top players but most moved to richer clubs while relatively young.
