12 Champions League Winners Who Played For Newcastle

11. Louis Saha

Played For NUFC: 1999. Appearances: 12, Goals: 2 Won Champions League: 2008, Manchester United Another with the brass neck to accept a winners medal in spite of being a virtual bystander for a majority of the tournament. Saha contributed very little to Manchester United's victorious campaign in 2007/08 and didn't even make Sir Alex Ferguson's 18-man squad for the final against Chelsea in Moscow but somehow still wound up with a medal. Three starts and a pair of cameos from the bench totalling just over 200 minutes, also remaining an unused substitute for two matches, was the sum total of his input into the Red Devils' Champions League hat-trick with the French striker also failing to score during his five outings. That being said it seems unnecessarily cruel to pour scorn on Saha after his season was decimated by injury, not for the first time in his career, and it's undeniable that he would have featured on a more regular basis for Man United had his fitness remained intact.
