No need for the question mark matey, you are correct. Myth has it that Law's back heel was the last time that he kicked a ball in anger, but he then went to the World Cup and played in the first game against Zaire, which was his last competitive game. He then went on to make 2 appearances in the Texaco cup pre season friendlies against Sheffield Utd. and finally Oldham Athletic before retiring. Tony Book told him that he'd only be in the reserves the following season.

Re: City players ..played in a World Cup Finals while at Cit

There are 4 missing from previous WC finals squads (not necessarily played in tournament), these are:

Lucien Mettomo
Kolo Toure
David James
Claudio Reyna

Robhino was on loan at Santos until the end of July for the 2010 WC though strictly speaking he was a City player.

City reached agreement with Valencia for David Siilva before the 2010 WC, he became a City player 3 days after the final.

Then there are the 10 City players in this World Cup:

Fernandinho, Silva, Yaya Toure, Hart, Milner, Zabaleta, Demichelis, Aguero, Dzeko & Kompany.


Of those players Sammy McIlroy, Claudio Reyna and Vincent Kompany were (are) official designated team captains, though it's possible that other City players may have captained their team in a WC finals match if the captain was not playing. Has anyone done this (not talking about taking the armband when the captain goes off). Maybe Dunne, Kolo, Wanhope, Donachie or Hartford.

Of all those players
