If you allow international teams is there a quicker way through Oscar or Ramires, then just a couple of generational steps through the Brazil team? Something like Hutch -> Ramires -> Ronaldiho -> Rivaldo-> Romario (Not checked any of those for overlap etc may need to chuck a goalkeeper in to get a longer period of time in and lose a step) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sova Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Right, let's kick things up a notch. If Zico and Stephen Bywater involves only three degrees of separation, we need some real challenges... Sam Hutchinson and Romario Glenn Loovens and Pelé Ross Wallace and Raúl If all those three come in at under six degrees of separation, I'll be astounded. Glenn Loovens - Dutch 2001 World Youth Championship squad - Louis Van Gaal (the coach) Louis Van Gaal - Ajax 1972-73 squad - Johan Neeskens Johan Neeskens - New York Cosmos - Pele (or add, say, Giorgio Chinaglia between Neeskens and Pele as I don't think the latter played together) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sultan_Pepper Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 International teams count. Any ideas on darklord's Esajas and Rudolf Wetzer challenge? I got quite far then hit a dead end. Having googled :-) Wetzer is going to be a struggle due to the age I reckon, to go back 80 years in 6 steps we're going to need several 10+ year careers. Add in to that the much lower levels of cross national transfers pre-70's and we'd need to get into Romania or Yugoslavia in the 50's with a couple of steps to spare.
