David Beckham has just won the American league (via a cup but we'll ignore that) to claim the rare feat (for our island nation anyway) of winning titles in three countries. He wasn't the first though....

Who was the last English footballer, before Beckham, to win league titles in 3 countries?

Did Ray Wilkins win titles in Scotland and Italy and with Man U?

Won the title in every country he has played in. Yep, both of them.

(he left Canada at 16)

Again, only played in 2 countries. Won trophies with 2 of his 3 Italian teams but not the league. Didn't win a league title until he returned home (1 with Arsenal)

I'm assuming it has to include Scotland but struggling to think of player who has then won overseas

Has never won a league unless "Central Division of the American Conference winner" counts
(Detroit Express, 1978). Won cups with 4 clubs but looks like he only joined Forest after they won the league.

Rodney Marsh

(giving up with guessing to play mechanic for half an hour).

Struggling to think of English players that have played overseas!

Lineker
Gascoigne

Lineker - Spain, Japan, Scotland? (did he play in Scotland?)

It does indeed. England, Scotland and a decent European league.

No but he did play in England :wink:

According to Wiki, he is another never to have won a league title.
