Jari Litmanen was not in the squads for the 2001 UEFA Cup, English FA Cup and English League Cup, therefore did not receive a winners medal.

For the UEFA European Super Cup and English Charity Shield he managed to make the bench and was an unused sub so he received his medals.

[edit] POV

I like Jari, but this article has some major POV issues.

The article is not nearly neutral enough. MG

Perhaps you could elaborate a little, point out the statements that need revision or removal. - Slow Graffiti 05:29, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

"Litmanen is a classic playmaker with excellent technique and vision...", "He endeared himself to them with mercurial performances whenever he was given the chance...", "He also played quite a good season in 2002-03", "Unusually big crowds of over 10,000 turned up to matches to see their hero – more often than not just to find out that Litmanen wasn't able to play. All in all, his stint at FC Lahti turned out to be a big disappointment for all parties.", "In a generation that produced playmakers as Zinedine Zidane, Roberto Baggio, Dennis Bergkamp and Luís Figo, he deserves a mention with the best of them, possessing wonderful craft and imagination with the ball at his feet and scoring supreme goals.", "Litmanen is a legend in Amsterdam...". Shall I go on? Unsurprisingly the grammar in most of the sections with POV is below-par. Some serious work needs to be done here. 77.99.47.83 11:50, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
