Some player(s) of Real Madrid in the 50's/60's?

They won the CL 5 times in a row, so there must be a player that played all 5 season for Real Madrid.

Alfredo di Stefano has played in all 5 finals and scored in all of them. I'm quite sure of that. I'll look up and see if there is someone else.

edit: I've found it! Zarraga and Gento also played for Real Madrid in all 5 finals.

Ye I have to agree with that Real Madrid clue..

Ye Bert, Seedorf are the football player with the most titles
(in modern times, lets say after 70' LOL)with 3 CL titles.
He's also the only one with 3 wins for 3 different clubs.
Ajax(1995), Real Madrid(1998) AC Milan(2003)

But if anyone know which player holds the most titles in total of UEFA Champions Cup/League please please reply.

Maybe it comes down to a mail to the communication department at Santiago Bernabéu or to the UEFA organization. LOL=)

Tip of cluster winners and possibility of transfers to other teams:

1955-56 Real Madrid
1956-57 Real Madrid
1957-58 Real Madrid
1958-59 Real Madrid
1959-60 Real Madrid
1960-61 Benfica (maybe someone went from real to benfica to keep owning)
1961-62 Benfica

1970-71 Ajax Amsterdam
1971-72 Ajax Amsterdam
1972-73 Ajax Amsterdam
1973-74 Bayern München (anyone from ajax joined Bayern and kept winning?
1974-75 Bayern München
1975-76 Bayern München

Another correction - it turns out Gento has won the cup 6 times!. Besides the 5 consecutive wins between '56-'60, he also won in '66 (every time with Real Madrid)

Okey.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gento

We are getting somewhere!! =)

Dude this is starting to look very impressive. I don't think anyone I know of that are interested in football knows this answer or even thought of whom he could be.
The king of Champions League.. Not sure most UEFA persons could answer this either..
Just to hint on the difficulty of this one.There is no record of it in the guiness book of records, that holds other records such as:

Most Soccer Cup-Winners Cups
The Cup-Winners Cup, contested until 1999 by the winners of the national cups in Europe, was won a record four times by Barcelona (in 1979, 1982, 1989, and 1997).

Most World Cup Finals Appearances
The record for appearances in the soccer World Cup finals is five. The record is jointly held by Mexico's Antonio Carbajal - who played in the 1950, 1954, 1958, 1962 , and 1966 finals; and Germany's Lothar Matthäus - who played in the 1982, 1986, 1990, 1994, and 1998 finals. Matthäus has played in a record 25 World Cup games.

But which player has the most Champions League titles in the history that one is just do difficult even to Guiness. LOL=)

But since it doesnt state hes the overall best at wikipedia maybe there is another one out there even bigger??

So we have our man? Not updated since 99. Even Seedorf ain't there..

Francisco Gento López with a record 6 CL titles.

Seedorf the first and currently only player to have won the CL title for 3 different clubs.
(Ajax 1995,Real Madrid 1998 and AC Milan 2003)
