Quiz! Can you name the 32 players who’ve scored at three different World Cups?

Pele

Even playing at three World Cups is a special feat, so imagine the kind of player who’s gone one better and scored in three tournaments. We’d call it ‘Roy of the Rovers stuff’, except Roy Race probably scored in about 10 World Cups (until he lost his left foot in a helicopter crash – although we hear the foot is back now).

Anyway, the good news on this quiz is that the players tend to be of the more modern variety. Nobody was scoring goals in the three World Cups back in the 1930s, because there were fewer teams, fewer games and international careers tended to be shorter.
