    Footballers names that contain diacrytical marks

    Émile Mpenza
    Jürgen Klopp
    Uwe Rösler
    Bjřrn Helge Riise
    Unai Núńez
    Eusébio
    Andrés Iniesta

    I think that the ex-Serbian footballer and manager Boškov-Ćurković-Savićević may take the biscuit.

    Any more that you can think of?

    Remember his run against Reading which ended with him smashing the post at the Grange End.

    That goes in and he was on for Ballon D'Or. No doubt in my mind. It all seemed to unravel after that.

    Him hitting the woodwork seems to make it more memorable. He was tall, German, majestic he strode forward, opposition players parting like the Red Sea, I thought we had a player in that fleeting moment. How mistaken I was!!

    More like the Sh*thouse Door perhaps

    Complete guess, but. I reckon it’s someone from Iceland or the Faroes.

    You’ve got the right continent but, otherwise, nowhere near

    I’m never going to get this - I can’t think of a sport where someone would win a gold medal and then become a footballer (I suppose it could happen the other way around, but I’m struggling to think of an example when it has), so I’m going to guess that Spain won the football when the Games were held in Barcelona and one of their squad played for Aberdeen.

    You eventually got on the right track but you need to look at earlier Olympics

    The Olympic football tournament was won by (I had a look) Eastern Block countries from 1952 all the way through to the 1980 games in Moscow, so I'd guess the answer lies somewhere amongst that lot.

    Zoltán Varga is the correct answer. Well done

    I remember him from the days when non British players in this country were an exotic rarity compared to the situation now. I’m not old enough to have seen the Robledo brothers but Steve Mokone played in the first ever City game I saw (not that he lasted long) and later, players like Preben Arentoft (Newcastle) and Dietmar Bruck (Coventry) added some exoticism to the Football League. Varga was part of the very useful Hungarian teams of the 60s that included Ferenc Bene, Florian Albert and Janos Farkas.
