European Championships Winning Captains
The Russian midfielder Igor Netto was the first captain to lift the European Champion trophy back in 1960, and with such a good spread of countries having won the tournaments it's hardly a surprise to see that Iker Casillas of Spain is the only player to have lifted the trophy twice.
