12 Champions League Winners Who Played For Newcastle

8. Nicky Butt

Played For NUFC: 2004 - 2010. Appearances: 173, Goals: 5 Won Champions League: 1999, Manchester United By the time Butt arrived at Newcastle in the summer of 2004 he was already one of the most decorated midfielders in English football following a 12-year association with Manchester United where he won 15 major trophies, including a Champions League in 1999 as part of the immortal Treble winning side. Butt was an unlikely name on the Red Devils' team sheet for that legendary final against Bayern Munich after captain Roy Keane and Paul Scholes were ruled out due to suspension meaning the England international lined up alongside David Beckham in the centre of the park and remained on the field for the duration of the match. We wouldn't benefit from Butt's cup winning expertise, turning in a shameful display against his former employers during our FA Cup semi-final defeat to Man United in 2005.
