    I think Faas Wilkes won the Spanish Cup. I don't think he did win a league though, even if close in Serie A.

    Tom Finney can go in the trophyless category I think, and Stanley Matthews never won the domestic league. But they always played for Preston North End and Stoke/Blackpool respectively.

    You're right. Faas Wilkes won Spanish Cup once. I really omitted it.

    Sorry for mistake again as I forgot to transfer Enrique Garcia to domestic trophyless list. Enrique Garcia actually won Copa America twice.

    All Ermindo Onega ever won was the Argentine league in 1957, but it was his first season in the first team, he was 17 years old and I believe he did not play a game.

    He was Brazilian champion with Flamengo, how else would he have played (and won) the Libertadores...

    Libertadores always included the champion and runner-up since it's only ten nations in the confederation, so Junior could have played it as part of the runner-ups. But you are right, in fact Flamengo was the Brazilian champion.

    rightly so Junior was a big help to Zico to win Libertadore 81 and then Intercontinental cup 81
    Junior won Copa Brazil 90 (national cup) but not Brazil league champs
    Like R9 won copa Brazil 2009 with Corinthians but not Brazil league champs (Flamengo)

    Wrong as usual. According to Wikipedia, Junior won the following Brazilian championships: 1980, 1982, 1983, 1992.
