That will be Vardar Skopje. They were originally awarded the Yugoslav title one season after half of the league was deducted points for matchfixing. However the deductions were eventually overturned, but by that point Vardar were already entered into the European Cup.

Originally posted by Kev7 View PostNope, it's way before him. There are a few clues (as to the nationality & identity of our mystery man) in my previous post, particularly lines 6 & 7.
he was a German midfielder (still alive), late 1960s and 1970s.
And as I wrote in post #1460, "he is not an obvious candidate for such a "record", or near record as it were." = not a striker and particularly internationally famous. (in)famous in France though… he scored a crucial free-kick agst a French team that was deemed a little devious afterwards as, according to various French media and players later - notably J-M Larqué in a book he wrote a few years ago I think - this German player didn't wait for the referee to whistle before he took the free-kick (or before a team-mate of his rolled the ball to him, I think it was an indirect free-kick, can't quite remember), as had been agreed before the game. He took it, the wall/keeper wasn't quite ready apparently and he scored the winning goal. Still rankles with the then manager of said French team.

Western and Northern must be one of the Icelandic ones. Or Tromso for Northern. Eastern either a Kazakh or Russian team. Southern could be interesting. Have Tenerife ever qualified for Europe?Last edited by Rogin the Armchair fan; 17-12-2017, 09:56.

Tenerife is further south than any part of Israel. Estadio Heliodoro Rodriguez Lopez has a latitude of 28° 27' N. The most southerly point of Israel is 29° 29' N, about seventy miles further north.

What about Vladivostok or a team from Siberia for the most eastern?

Las Palmas played once in the Fairs Cup and twice in the UEFA Cup, between 1969 and 1978. Their old ground was at 28° 07' N, so about 20 miles further south than Tenerife.
Lunch Energiya Vladivostok's best finish in Russia was seventh in 2006, eight points off qualifying for Europe.
I suspect the most easterly team will be Kazakh - there have been few Siberian clubs in the Russian top flight, and even those that have been there have tended to be just past the Uralic.

I think that the easternmost Russian club to have played in Europe is Sibir Novosibirsk, which has only enjoyed a couple of seasons in the top flight, but qualified for the 2010-11 Europa League as losing Cup finalists in a season when Zenit did the double.
Novosibirsk is at 82° 57′ 0″ E.
The traditional Kazakh power Kairat, from Almaty, have played in Europe on quite a few occasions (including in the Champions League) and are the easternmost "big" team in the country. Almaty is at 76° 53′ 45″ E.Last edited by ursus arctos; 17-12-2017, 21:45.

I love it when you go off-thread for a couple days (was falling behind on my hate mail to Franz Roth - those dog turds won't envelope themselves ye know), go straight to the last page and find the conversation's gone off through more tangents than a Ronnie Corbett monologue.
A whole load of longitudes and latitudes of various European fitba grounds. Two seconds of thinking "fuck are they on about" and then it's "surely Vladivostock's had a decent side at some point since the mid-1950's ..."
