Kevin Ratcliffe won a European Cup Winners Cup Final with Everton (Alan Harper was on the bench). Former City coach Alan Sealey scored both goals in West Ham's 2-0 1965 Cup Winners Cup win over Munich 1860. Kevin McDonald played regularly in Liverpool's 1985/86 double winning team.

Clive Thomas represented Wales at 2 World Cups but dont think that counts.

Adrian Alston played in the 1974 World Cup before signing for City. He also performed the 'Cruyff' turn a week before Cruyff did it himself (according to wiki)

I remember Maradona running after Lynex to swap shirts at the final whistle of the Hand of God game in '86. They were very much the Ronaldo and Messi of their day but there was a great mutual respect between the two.

I think he cleaned up after Lineker shat himself against Ireland earlier in tournament, but all known footage of that has since been destroyed.

Hasselbaink was in Holland squad which finished 4th.
Which I think I would say is a higher level than Olympic football .
