Singkatnya, urutan kolektor runner-up: 1. Paolo Maldini (17 kali) 2. Paul Haynes (15 kali) 3. Paul McStay (12 kali) 4. Michael Ballack (12 kali)
Kalo di Scotland kayanya sih wajar dapet banyak gelar runner-up, soalnya selain kejuaraannya banyak (kompetisi liga, Piala Liga, dll), persaingannya juga kebanyakan antara 2 tim doang kan? Jadi kalo ditambahi dengan gelar juaranya kemungkinan matematisnya akan sama antara jumlah koleksi gelar juara dan runner-up-nya, cmiiw.. kalo Maldini gimana? --- In [email protected], Billy Tan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Is Michael Ballack the biggest loser ever? > > > Michael Ballack: not even the best at being runner-up.
