Who's the first black man to ride a European Cup Winner?

Sol Campbell.

Steven Gerrards cell mate!!

I'd query that. Justin Fashanu may have preceded that.

Who captained an FA Cup winning team AND also played international cricket?
I think you are talking about Noel Cantwell who captained Manchester Utd., when they won the FA Cup in 1963 and played Soccer (obviously) and Cricket for Ireland.
That's the one! He must also win a prize for being the only FA Cup Winner with the middle names "Eucharia Cornelius"


This is also correct

Excellent spot, RLL - even if he only scored 5 runs in two Innings of his only cap!

Anyhow, here's another interesting dual Irish sportsman, though originally from that cricketing and footballing "hotbed", Lithuania:

Ashley cole, jermaine Jenas or Jermaine Pennant probably ran them all close as well..

To O'Neill's Dundee, I'd add Stoke - I'm pretty sure Burslem (Port Vale FC) counts as part of the city?
