Heres how it goes...

you ask a footie trivia/question whoever gets it right asks the next question.  lets see how long we can keep it going.

ill go 1st.


ONLY ONE PREMIERSHIP TEAM HAS BEEN MANAGED BY 4 MEN WHO WON THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE AS PLAYERS AND OTHER 2 MEN WHO WON THE WORLD CUP AS PLAYERS

WHO IS THE TEAM?  AND WHO IS THE 6 MANAGERS?

If by Champions League you mean European Cup then

Newcastle

Souness
Gullit
Keegan
McDermott - European Cup

Jack Charlton
Ardiles - Worlp Cup

My Question

Last Top Flight side to field an all English team ?

yeh i meant european cup.

u got 3 out of 4 right for the european cup right.  Mcdermet has never been newcastle manager.

Dalglish is the one youve missed


well done

McDermot was manger between Keegan and Daglish technically.
Sorry Kenny how did I miss you.

Wigan

Details? - not the team I got, can't give you the date of mine gives it away a little.

did middlesboro not do it at end of last season?

ah i think thats it

Correct - vs Fulham 15 of the squad born within 30 or 40 miles of the ground I believe.

Couldnt be wigan anyway, they havent played top flight football ...yet.

I'am sure they played the last game at Highbury in the Premiership ?

JD night Kev ?

ok my go, who scored the 2000th goal in world cup history during this tournament?

Allback?

Marcus Allback?

Too slow, diggedy damn!

Ok, I see Nakor is not on the thread so I will pose a question.

Which club has held the F.A cup for longest consecutive time?

whoever won it in 1939  would have held onto it until 1946 once the war was over?

Portsmouth

Correctamundo, over to you Nakor.

Thinking of the questions is harder then the answers . . . . .

Most goals in a Post War FA Cup Final ?  (Yes its lame)

Rush

oh yeah I forgot about last season.... must put more ginger in my JD. ;)

Seven? 4-3 in 1953

I will never make a quiz master - both right I meant year but the question was vague and poor.

We both have a go then, I'll make mine easy then.

Name the last English manager to win the English Premier League, and if you feel like it the team and year?

joe fagan

Howard Wilkinson 1992 or 1993?  when it was the 1st div

still struggling. who did he play for first?

aye go on ive racked my brain for half an hour and still nowhere near it

please

Dion Dublin

was it Steve Archibald ?

Correct Kev

Spurs & Scotland Squads 1982

Right.
I never got my chance to ask my question last night so here goes.

This is for the old boys out there who remember the 80's.

Name these two Scottish Internationalists.
I'll call them Player 1 and Player 2.

Player 1 played in the 1984 FA Cup Final, whilst Player 2 was playing in the 1984 Scottish Cup Final.

The following year it was vice versa!

Player 2 was playing in the 1985 FA cup Final and Player 1 was playing in the 1985 Scottish Cup final!

Can you name the players?
As a clue

FA Cup 1984 Everton v Watford and 1985 Everton v Man Utd
Scot Cup 1984 Aberdeen v Rangers and 1985 Celtic v Dundee Utd

 Td Th

Gordon Strachan (Aberdeen and Man Utd)
Mo Johnston (Watford and Celtic)

Assuming correct:

Which 3 teams remained unbeaten in the 1982 World Cup Finals?

Correct Sheriff

England,algeria and Cameroon?

No, but you got the non-obvious one and missed out the very obvious one.

Sheriff

Italy

Name the only team to reach the FA cup final despite losing a game in one of the earlier rounds........

<post edit comments: apologies for mistake on question where i asked who won the FA cup. They actually lost in the final but then won it the year after>

also a little known fact from those two fa cup finals is that the games were both held up each year because the ball burst and they had to wait for a replacement!

Algeria lost 2-0 to Austria to set up the debacle of the Austria vs West Germany "fixed" game - as Algeria had already beaten W.Germany 2-1 it meant that a draw in the final game between the Austrians and Germans would see Austria top the group and Germany finish second in front of Algeria on goal difference.

Hey presto a draw it was..........

It was actually a 1-0 win to West Germany, which was the only result which would get both Germany and Austria through.

It was that game that prompted FIFA to have simultaneous final group games from 1986 onwards.

And the answer to my earlier question was Italy, England and Cameroon (3 draws in the group stages vs Poland, Italy and Peru).  The team effort finally got there.

Sheriff

PS: Matt's failed attempt to start another question has left us in temporary limbo so I'll kick things off with an old chestnut that should get a fairly quick response......

Sunderland in 79, Villa in 81, who in 1980?

I knew it was something like that, my excuse is that i was only 8 years old at the time and living in Saudi Arabia!!  :D

???

I thought that was the question you were apologising about - that'll teach me to skim read!

I had apologised as my original question asked "who won the fa cup" when in fact they only made it to the final. They won the cup the year after - i wasnt sure how many people had already read the question before i realized my error.

Anyhow, the answer is Charlton - they had two-legged rounds for one season after the war.

Next question,

Who is the only team to have won the FA Cup in Yorkshire?

Brooking

I knew that one wouldn't take long - see earlier post for the REAL next question!!

I'M THINKING!!

its a long drawn out process!!

I would say Sheffield United as in a yorkshire team - but i'm thinking your question means "who won the FA cup when the final was played in Yorkshire?" Yes/No?

You're getting there (Leeds winning in 1972 would scupper your first answer).

nope - beats me, i cant think of a final that was played outside of London apart from when it went to the Millenium stadium. I'm guessing it was a replay but cant think of any off the top of my head.

Either that or its a trick question and your talking about the Women's FA Cup!!  :D

Yeah i know, Sheffield Wednesday winning on numerous occasions also threw a spanner in the works as well!

Barnsley

Nice job.  The 1912 FA Cup final replay was played at Bramall Lane.  Barnsley beat West Brom 1-0.

There's a story in folklore somewhere that one half of the pitch was actually in Derbyshire but I've no idea if this is true or not.  I would guess not.

Sheriff

Last team to win the Fa Cup with an all english 11

Wimbledon >:?

Didn't Lawrie Sanchez play in that team, who presumably would count as Northern Irish?

I'm guessing West Ham in 1980.

Sheriff

Ray Stewart was scottish

southhampton

Manchester City

It was in the 70's

arsenal

No

Manchester United

no do you all give up sheriff nearly had it

Sunderland

ian porterfield scored winner scottish

ok, is it ipswich? wark or brazil didnt play maybe?

No

i give up

West Ham 1975

I'm claiming enough partial credit (right team, wrong year) to ask the next question:

Which team is playing in the Premiership because of an election?

Wigan

Nope.

Corinthian Casuals 1887

I must admit I was unprepared for that response!

A slightly flummoxed 'No' is all I can manage in reply.

reading

I know the answer to that, but won't spill the beans just yet


Here's one to run in parallel:


Only including stands built since WW2, which stand in which stadium had the shortest life before it was knocked down?

English grounds only for that last one

Premiership
Championship, League 1 Or League 2

Only because he's been told it!

Reading is also incorrect, re Brad.Strider's guess.

Sheriff

Whufc...no clues yet!


oh ok, not the bottom division

Arsenal  Sheriff's Question

sheff utd

Got it.

Its well known that Arsenal are the team with the longest unbroken run in the top flight (since 1919) but they actually got elected there, rather than winning promotion in the traditional way.

They expanded the league after the first World War but, instead of allowing a relegated team to stay up (which ironically would have been Spurs) or the 3rd placed team going up from Division 2 (which ironically would have been Barnsley) the Football League committee elected to promote Arsenal who had finished 5th in Division Two in the last season of football before the war.

The rest, as they say, is history...

Name the only team out of the 92 whose name starts with 5 consonants

Crystal Palace


come on now, a proper challenge please!  8)

have you had the 5 (possibly 6 I can't remember which is why I generally don't post them:D) football teams that start and end with the same letter?

what you mean...Liverpool, aston villa, charlton althletic, northampton town and as it was then  york city?


Sheriff has now got me involved in this thread  ;tk;


I am compulsive obsessive about football triv. My nickname at Uni was "rothmans"!


you have been warned!


p.s any answer for my stadia question?!

have I beat you all?

In answer to yours Tighty, Wimbledon?

is it arsenals stand with the painted faces?

Nope...Plough Lane had no new stands and the Crystal Palace one's are still there


Not Arsenal either


NOT a trick question...you do need to be thinking of clubs who put a stonking great big stand up and then subsequently moved grounds....

Sunderland

This one's for Tightend

Which side at one time had seven past, present and future England captains in the same team, and in which year?

blackburn

Bolton?

no to Sunderland...nothing new at Roker Park before they moved to the Stadium of permanent Darkness.

Blackburn? no, they haven't moved and nothing new pre Jack Walker

Bolton...no Burnden Park was a hellhole..nothing new there before they moved

78 out of 92 league grounds here and going to get the other 14 done this season!


thanks for your q whufc...a good one


that will need some thought...first idea WHUFC....Moore, Peters, Brooking etc...say 1969/70 ish...but I am just being lazy!¬

Not West Ham

reading

Millwall?

Manchester City?

whufc65 I've heard the question before so I won't ruin tightends fun but just thought I'd take credit for hearing it somewhere else :D

As for tightends question, Millwall?

Not Millwall, Reading or Man City


The side stand at Maine Road was extended not demolished and rebuilt so technically wasn't new. Bloody good guess though


the stand I am talking about was built from scratch, the previous stand having been demolished

The year is 1994. It held 13,500 people

Within a decade the club is in a new ground.

On the site now? student flats.

southampton

Got it,

Leicester City?

Damn you graham, too quick

Yes...a home town question for my beloved but ultimately crap most seasons club...you want the full history? I warn you, its like tikay and trains!!!

nah it's ok thanks, all that thinking has worn me out, I need to sleep :D

it may help you get too sleep :D

Have you had this one in this post yet?

Who is the only player to win an FA Cup Winners medal in each of the last 3 decades? 

Mark Hughes?

nope

Dennis Wise

Yep.

yep it's Dennis Wise.
I'll have a think of a harder one

Which is the only English league football ground to have a pub on every corner?

Tightend must know this one.

I do know but I'll leave it for Tightend too :D

I thought this was a good one.

What player has played in the North London, Merseyside, Manchester derbies, has won the Premiership, FA Cup, Champions League and European Championship?

Brentford!  Griffin Park to be precise!



Following on from the last question...here is a variant...who is the only person since 1980 to have played and scored in each of the following?

North London Derby
Manchester Derby
Liverpool Derby
North East Derby


He got around, this boy....

Damn - Tighty beat me to it - The Theatre of Dreams, Griffin Park.

Been there yet Tighty?

Oh yes. My family used to live in West London and Brentford was a short journey away on the train from Barnes where I lived.

I first went there in my teens to see Brentford against Wigan and stood on the side terrace

I subsequently saw my team win there in Brentford's short sojourn in the second highest division in the early 1990s

Finally, I even saw the London Broncos as was play rugby league there

Nice friendly club.

Nicholas Anelka

Anelka yes :)

What are the league grounds you have to visit this season Tightend?  Are you including the new Arsenal stadium on your tours for curiosity?

Also, there is a club isn't there for people that have been to all the league grounds - is it an official members thing that you apply to or do you just include yourself in it when the goal is achieved.

And....what year do you take the 92 grounds from?  Teams obviously get promoted and relegated so this years is different from last.

Just curious :)

Edited for being so stupid :D

Nick Barmby?

Yes the 92 club exists


It is much more difficult these days with new grounds and 2 up 2 down from the conference but once you are in you are in but the real anoraks have to visit the new grounds to believe they still qualify


Yes I have to do the Emirates this season.


Amongst the grounds I have yet to do are Torquay, Carlisle, Darlington (new ground), Hull (new ground), Accrington (just up) to give a few examples....a bit of travelling to do



no, not Nick Barmby....tottenham, liverpool but not a manchester side or Sunderland/newcastle...


the North east derby does not include Middlesboro


Keep thinking

mainly they are lower league remote type towns where leicester have never played...and new grounds!

How you getting on with this one Tightend

struggling more than I should be.


Resisting the temptation to get the reference books out and cheat


I thought about 1970s Liverpool teams and got as far as Clememnce, Neal, Hughes, Thompson and Keegan but got stuck at 5. You need 7!

Paul Stewart

yup.


Name all the football league clubs who's name does not reflect the town (or district of that city eg Chelsea) they play in....eg Queens Park Rangers...play in Shepherds Bush now not Queens Park in NW London

How many to find?

Manchester United - don't technically play in Manchester.
Arsenal - Islington

are these ok?

3 for sure...a questionable 4th. Not including QPR given above

Non premiership only..."all football league clubs"

Leighton Orient - I'm sure there isn't a Leighton Orient (But I am ignorent)
Rushdon and Diamonds

Leyton Orient play in Leyton, district of London. Curiously there is also a Leyton FC in the Ryman League, a Leighton Town (Leighton Buzzard) in the Ryman League and a non league football club in Leytonstone


Rushden are no longer a league team and play in Irthlingbrough. They were the amalgamation of Rushden town and Irthlingborough Diamonds when Max Griggs arrived


So, no...!

You're just a wealth of knowledge :D

Could be a good one in Scotland as well.... but I think you'd have to narrow it down to teams with place names (ie Celtic, Rangers, St Mirren etc don't have place town/city names at all.....)

Partick Thistle are based in Maryhill, not Partick.Queens Park (the original ones) play near Queens Park, but I don't think it's the area they play in. Clyde don't play near the Clyde anymore.... Other Scots fans needed to complete this one though

Wimbledon play in Milton Keynes

1 down !

No!!!!


they are the MK Dons, not Wimbledon anymore



back to the drawing board!  :D

port vale?

pah

Grimsby - play in Cleethorpes.

port vale who play in hanley in the 5 potteries towns (burslem etc) is indeed one

grimsby in cleethorpes is another

Is Tranmere one? 

tranmere is my debateable one. Whilst there is a district of tranmere most consider the team to play on birkenhead/wallasey

crystal palace

They do not play in crystal or in a palace..........

thats right, they play in a dump. Or Norwood, whichever you prefer.

Easy one - Name the only non-league team to win the FA Cup.

<--------------- expects answer within 2 minutes of post going up!! :)

no pressure then :(

With Tightend being around i thought it would be answered virtually as my post was first made!!  :D

(AFC) Wimbledon

Apologies - let me rephrase the question.

Name the only team to win the FA Cup while they were not playing within the football league?

I understand the angle you were coming from........

Cardiff?

hmmmm


memories of Cardiff winning it in the 1920s/30s when not yet in the FL.


don't make me go back to Wanderers/Royal Engineers and Corinthian Casuals!

Nope, it was from the 20th century.............. ;)

All the winners of the FA Cup in the 19th century were members of the football league when they won.

I thought this may have been a common quiz question - maybe we get different quizzes in the jungle!!  :D

Cardiff won in the mid 1920's i think but were a football league team - they are the only "non-english" team to win it.

blast here we go then

FA Cup winners.....


1961 Tottenham

1962....


zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I think you've got the right answer inadvertently!!!

Tottenham Hotspur is the correct answer - in 1901

They were elected to the league in 1908 and were playing in the Southern League the year they won the FA Cup......

I didn't know that, thanks


Lads in pub are going to hate that one!


any ideas on whufc's seven england captains in one team one?

I do but I wont post it cos I did cheat a bit :(

Steve Quiz?

shush ;)

Yeah Steve.  Great questions on there but I wish I'd never found it, although to be fair, I haven't looked since this morning

pm me whufc answer

the answer to whufc's question is southampton

and tightend don't visit darlingtons new stadium, biggest waste of money in football.  Lovely idea in theory but just no atmosphere and £15 to get into a league 2 game is not value at all

whos question is it

Yours

ok then.......

easy one for you

who has apeared in the most world cup finals (the actually Final its self) in a row.

I mean  aplayer

Cafu

ure turn

Who was the first substitute to score a hat-trick in the world cup

uve got me nw

 Gerd Muller

No

laszio kiss scored a hatrick for hungry against el salvafor in the 1982 cup final



my question  name the 4 englishmen that have got 100 caps   and how many

Shilton 125
Moore 108
Charlton 106
Wright 105

Who scored the 1000th goal

In the World CUp?

Yes Nem

1000th goal was by resenbrink of holland in 1978

he had an advantage though he was playing against scotland

me again   name all the different surnames of the 92 teams    ie  united and rovers

United
Town
City
Wanderers
Albion
Rovers
Argyle
Hotspur
Villa
County
Forest
Wednesday
Palace
Vale
Athletic
Rangers
Alexandra
End
Harriers
Diamonds
Orient
Bournemouth
MK Dons
Stanley

bournemouth  is afc bournemouth   so athletic  well done for the others


your turn

Who were the first two Premiership players to score hat-tricks in the same side for the same team and who were they playing?

 Andy Cole and (I'm guessing)  Dwight Yorke,

 9-0 against Ipswich

nope, Andy Cole scored 5 (a Prem record) but no other hat-tricks

I remember Pires and Pennant both scoring hat tricks for Arsenal in the same game a couple of years back but I suspect that this couldn't have neem the first time it had happened!

Just sticks with me as I had Pires in my fantasy footie team at the time!   :D

Yep, that's correct against Southampton.  It was also Pennant full first team debut.  Also Ian Wright on first full team debut also score a hat-trick and this too was against Southampton.

which english club side has played the most games at wembly stadium

  Arsenal

nope

man united

liverpool

keep guessing      very hard question

This is not a rugby league team is it

leicester

nope it is a current english  league  side   

clue 1     a london team

crystal palace

another clue?

i assume arsenals champions league games have been taken into account in this

they played there games there while they had ground problems    not a top 2 div side

Barnet?

Orient are the only team to have played league games at Wembley - but this was back in the 30's i think when they were known as Clapham Orient and the total was only a handful.

Now I'm definitly confused I tried to cheat and that didn't help at all

orient is what i have i was told they played there in the 30's and returned again in the 40's

your turn matt

Hmmm, will have to call the dubious goals committee out for that one!! ;)

Two more FA Cup questions:

1) Who is now the sponsor for this seasons FA Cup

2) Wilfred Minter once scored 7 goals in one FA Cup game for St Albans City but his feat was a record breaking one for what reason?

2) Own goals?

No, all 7 were for St Albans City in the right net

I got sent this today and my head hurts any ideas people, i don't know the answer, but i will find out.

In London Spurs and Arsenal could do it, as could Chelsea and West Ham.
Both Manchester City and United could also do it. Everton and Rangers could do it, but not Liverpool or Celtic. The only British clubs that could do it this season are Man United (who would probably prefer not to) and Arsenal (who have gone closest so far and are desperate to do it).
It would take Everton and City the longest to do it.

There is only one other British club that could do it. Who are they and what is it?

http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=12141.0

1) E.ON - never heard of them
2) was he over 40?

1) Correct
2) Dont know his age, that isnt the reason though

Cheers Matt and i tried to have a look for it but couldn't find it anywhere.

No problem squire :)

ha ha, I know the answer :D

They still lost the game  8-7

Great question, I like that :D

German company - own Powergen and sponsor Borussia Dortmund

Correct - the only time in english league or cup football that one player has scored 7 goals for one team and still lost :)

Ah, cheers Nem - German sponsors for a British institution  ;tk;
Here's an easy one,

How many World Cup Goals (including qualifiers) has Wayne Rooney scored?

from the next england captain thread


Would have beat nemesis but wanted to get my original quote  :D

doh, didn't read that  :blonde:

I'm still not convinced with the orient answer as the wembley site says that they only played 2 games there, hmmmmm.

my question, which player has played the most games at wembley?

Billy Wright?

i think he's in the top 5 or very close but hes not no1

Peter Shilton

hes no2 on the list

Booby Moore

no

grrrr.  >:? >:? :D

Stanley Matthews


 Td Th

keep tryin :D

Ray Clemence

 ;scarymoment; still no

Bryan Robson

nope, anyone else guessing??

Gary Linaker

nope

Tony Adams.

Who are the holders of the coronation cup ?

Sandy

 ;applause;

celtic

Why do Juventus play in black and white stripes?

Something to do with Notts County?

Yeah agreed with Baron they were founded by Notts County fans. Similarly Athletic Bilbao wear Red and White after being formed by Sunderland fans i believe.

Who did Exeter city play in a friendly to celebrate their centenary and why?

juventus originally played in pink shirts but had to borrow shirts from notts county

hense juventus's current away kit is pink


who is englands record goal scores in competitive matches

The ones that were mentioned plus....

PARTick Thistle?   
St. JohnSTONE? 
BerWICK Rangers? 

A body part for a fish......

InvernesS CALEdonian Thistle  (I don't think a specific species was specified, so this might be ok)

And if GRETNA are allowed then I think I sould get...

Raith ROVARIES  :D

Brazil, and I believe it was something to do with the Exeter squad once getting arrested on the Cocacabana Beach.

Since 1905........

Which team has been at the top of the table in Scotland's major football league every single year (excluding the war years.)

Yep spot on Tank it was brazil, not sure about the arrest though. They did play a friendly there pre first world war and i believe they are the 1st British brazil beat.

Is it Aberdeen because they would be 1st Alphabetically before any games have been played.

Yes it is Longy, also they have never been relegated. (cant be top if we're not in the league)

Which player played on MOTD in white tights?

Thierry Henry - every week.

sigh


Which non arsenal player in the 1970s then!

i think uve got us now Tightend

I remember it like it was yesterday. 1979 or so. Match of the Day, Jimmy Hill. Its New Years day or so and its cold enough to freeze most games off, but this club had a tent over its ground...before undersoil heating of course.


The club is playing at home to Norwich and this midfielder scores the winner having played the whole match in his wife's white tights.

The MOTD credits had this player in slow motion to the music from the ballet Swan Lake

I was 12, this player was a hero of mine

He sadly died last year of cancer

I expect most of you are too young to remember classic MOTDs from the 1970s.....

Was it Vince Hilaire?????


 Td Th

Speaking of which. Remember that MoTD series with Dennis Waterman that covered 1970's football.
It had one hour programme for each of the seasons in the decade. It was class. Highlight was always
Davis Coleman shouting 'One- Nil'.
Can this be bought on DVD? Anyone know?

 Td Th

No!


I loved David Coleman's commentaries


"Kempes....1-0!"

tightend i think ure gonna have to tell us

the very talented Keith Weller


Next question?


Who is the only player from 1980 onwards to have captained league sides in Scotland, Wales (but playing in English Leagues ie not TNS etc etc)), England, N ireland and his country.


so for example.....Hearts, Cardiff, Tottenham, Glentoran and Jamaica.


This is a good one

this is doing my nut in, is it a trick question tighty?

It most certainly isn't

I can give clues.


The first clues are you are looking for a big SPL team, lower league Welsh team, yo-yoing English team. When he played they were top division....and they are now. Well known N Irish team.

Many many caps for his country

Now retired

Rough playing career 1980s to mid 1990s

terry butcher

No! which welsh or N Irish team did Butcher play for?  :D

Can't believe that I missed the Keith Weller one! 

Remember the game well......Martin Henderson sliding in for a very rare goal !!  ;D

For this one .....is it John McClelland  ?

isnt he from northern ireland?

Yes but that's ok though, isn't it?

Captain of Northern Ireland, many caps,  played lots for Rangers and Watford ( yo yo club? ).

That's where it then starts to fall down though!!   ;D

Was just a thought though!

I'd assume answer is more likely to be a Irish/Scot though than English due to the fact we can probably remember most of England's 1980's captain's/ multi capped players ??

no man, he isnt a eng ,sco,wal,ni captain, he must have captained an internatiol team like spain, france, ireland etc etc

Oh I see....you mean from the Jamaica example!   Oops   :blonde:


Cheers...must read these more carefully in future....lol

lol

is it jason de vos?

i think u might have it

infact nah it cany be him

john mclelland is right...did I make the question slightly unclear brad...sorry if I did?

captained rangers, watford, leeds, swansea, linfield and bangor city

and N Ireland


if the Jamaica thing was a bad example....just give me a dig in the ribs at bb3!

arghhhh just back from holiday,all week ive still been trying to get this answer,then to find out its mcclelland, he was one of the first i thought of but was quickly discarded as he was a brit, im never reading one of these  quiz threads again!! ;technophobe;

whoose turn is it

Name the 8 english cities that have a derby match

Manchester
Birmingham
Sheffield
Bristol
Liverpool
London
Nottingham

Can't get the 8th

Southampton/Portsmouth?? or Newcastle/Sunderland not really one city though

8th one is a toughy well done on the 7 you got

keep trying

Stoke?

yep stoke

your turn to post a question

You needed to include Cambridge...City in Conf South and United in Conf national...too  :D

if things keep going the way they are there wont be one team from leicester let alone a derby there

ouch!

ok, ill think of one and post one tomorrow

Name the 5 teams whose name begins with a "C" that have won the F.A. cup

Chelsea
Cardiff
Coventry
Charlton
Clapham Rovers



Only two men have managed English and Scottish FA Cup final winning teams


Alex Ferguson and ?

Kenny Daugleesh?

my bad spelling there.

no not Dalglish

It's difficult

It's not Sir Alex is it?

Has it been a long weekend Graham?


the answer wanted was Alex Ferguson and one other!!

lol :)  Just a long day :D

ok, I'll have another think!

Greame Souness?

no not souness he was rangers amanger from '86 to '91   and rangers didnt lift the cup between '81 and '92

He won the league cup at Rangers - is that different?

jimmy cochrane won with kilmarnock in '29 and sunderland in '37

give me a minute for the next question

trevor francis was the first £1m player or at least the first £999,999 player

whose place did he take in the european cup final that year

ill give you a clue he is a current premiership manager

Martin O' Neill?

yep

lol, that was a good guess :D
 
I only have a small, probably easy one, but I found it out the other day and it raised my eyebrows.

What current top flight club has the oldest existing stadium

Fulham?

Sheffield Utd?

Aye, Sheffied United apparently.  They mentioned it on Sky before the match - no corporate boxes either apparently - a stadium for the fans.

wasnt oniell a defender?and francis a forward?

how did he take his place?

i think o'neil was playing right midfield

i saw an interview with him once talking about how he didnt start the cup final because francis had his shirt

thanks mate wasnt doubting yer knowledge just curious howw it came about

you got the last one right newportlad so its your turn

i also saw an interview with oneill and he said he didnt play because clough thought he was injured but oneill disagreed at the time,he then went onto say looking back clough was probably right!

only 12 men have ever captained england to a major tournaament

name them

Don't want to hijack the thread but there is a world cup and sports  game on laddys now costs £1 a go and if your a sports buff very easy to at least get your money back and win :)

I scored 185. Missed some real obvious ones so I reckon somebody on Blonde can get them all.

I admit to googling the spelling of some players names. Might be classed as cheating but I've never been able to spell that Danish goalkeepers name!
