As far as I can understand, not in Britain. The first time I'm aware of is when Jesper Olsen (Ajax, later Man Utd.) passed the ball to Johan Cruyff in a game against Helmond Sport, sometime in the late 70's

Cottari Kanakaiya Nayudu captained India in their first Test match, played at Lord's in 1932 against England.  India lost by 158 runs.\n\nOr do you mean first captain after Indian independence in 1947? In that case, it was Lala Amarnath, who captained India against Australia in 1948, in Brisbane.  India lost that match by an innings and 226 runs.

I think i'd have to disagree with you there, I think the ultimate manager would have to be either Marcello Lippi or Jose Mourinho I mean what kind of manager pisses on the corner flags of their home stadium? Ferguson must've gone bonkers or something!

Rumambubchoo is right, the first to score in the 1966 cup was Pele, min 15', against Bulgaria. \n\nIn the debut game of the competition a day before Brazil-Bulgaria there was no goal, England vs Hungary 0-0.

No-one did. It was a 0-0 draw. Manchester United without Wayne Rooney is close to nothing I think.
