i cant believe they are the only 3 - am sure as a kid i remembered seeing viecherwod in at least one world cup - cant remember whether it was 82,82 or 90 - they all blend in a bit.

Wasnt he Russian or something?  Am sure someone with far more knowledge will tell me

Giuseppe Wilson: Born in Darlington in 1945 Christened Joseph Wilson but his parents moved to Italy when he was 6 months old (mother was Italian, parents met while father was doing army service in Italy). Was playing for Lazio when he was capped twice during the 1974 World Cup where he played 83 minutes. He made three appearances for the Italian National team
