1 odd number of teams qualified - Maybe but not the answer that I'm looking for. Suppimentary question - How many teams received a bye and who were they?
2 Reims - Yes
3 two, I think - Yes
4 Jimmy Mc - No
5 Raymond Kopa - Yes
6 Jimmy Robson - Yes
7 Jimmy Robson - No - Brian Pilkington, as given by Mr Top Tier
8 Uwe Seeker (his brother, Dieter, also played in Hamburg team - Yes But spelling is Seeler (which I think you knew really!)
9 Barcelona - Yes
10 Benfica - Yes
So still looking for 1 and 4.
