With John Welsh having played in the Champions League for Liverpool, which other Town players have played in the Champions League/ European Cup?

Not played for Town but Mike Newell held the record for the fastest Champions League hat-trick for quite a few years (Blackburn).

Err, Neil Webb maybe? Probably Cup Winners Cup rather than European Cup.

Didn’t Michael Boulding play in some European type qualifier for Villa after he joined them from us?

Was that the Inter-Toto Cup or whatever variation it was then?  

Terry Cooke probably played in some European games for Man Utd as he was breaking through.

Chris Jones (Mike Newell horror signing) was brought on as a 63rd minute substitute by Neath when they played Aalesund in a Europa League Qualifying match in 2011

Bobby Kennedy played for Manchester City against Fenerbahce in the European Cup in September 1968 and the next season he was Town’s player-manager.

Terry Donavan scored  for Villa I think soon after he left us. Thought Wilko may have played for Everton but think he went to Forest at the start of their big Europen season.

Steve Chettle I’m sure played in the UEFA Cup for Forest in the mid 90’s, I’m sure Kingsley Black was in that same Forest squad so it’s plausible he did. Come to think of it Vance Warner and Neil Webb were also at Forest then but weren’t regulars.

Dean Gordon I’m pretty sure played in a Champions League qualifier for APOEL Nicosia, who he joined after we released him in 2005.

Think that was when English clubs were banned from European competitions.
