No talk of viruses on here. I'll post new clues regularly (at least daily). I won't be responding to guesses until someone is correct. Guess as many times as you like. There's no O/T in the title so obviously it's football related. Here we go. Good luck.
I played and managed at a high level.
I did something nobody else had done for over 100 years.
I definitely wasn't a 'sick note'.
My longest managerial stint has a tentative connection with a long running TV series.
Surprisingly I made just a handful of appearances for my country.
I wasn't prolific but I chipped in with quite a few goals, some important ones.
A couple of teams I managed didn't seem to have much luck.
I won one of my medals in a great game that featured 3 South Yorkshire lads (4 if you count the subs)
