Who won the FA Cup by Never scoring a winning goal?
Charlton?

Ok, I'm still half asleep. The question should have read "How did a team win the FA Cup by Never scoring the winning goal?"

I was struggling to remember the team (not sure I got it right) but the answer is a player who's second name was never scored.

Correctamundo!

Right - a more complicated one here....

Name the following players:

There are 3 Englishmen, 2 Welshmen, 1 Irishman & 1 Scotsman to have played for 3 clubs to have won the European Cup/Champions League in their history. (The player didn't have to win it - just the club at some point).

Follow up question - one of them has played for 4 - which one?

Bump - a real statto one....

OK Guys, I go out foir the morning AND THIS HAPPENS....MY FAVOURITE SUBJECT

YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE STARTED   OMG  :o[/b


hERE'S A NICE ONE FOR STARTERS

Only one football player has scored in a North London Derby, a Tyne Derby, a Manchester Derby and a Liverpool Derby

Who is he?

I thought of Beardsley - but he didn't play in the N London.....  ???

Haven't noticed ONE attempt at my tough one  8)

Not Beardsley


Niall Quinn? Gazzza? Anelka?

Is it premiership or just any 4 derbys?


Title: Re: NON POKER favourite pub quiz questions
Post by: TightEnd on September 27, 2005, 03:29:18 PM
No, I gave you the four derby matches involved


for example...Niall Quinn played for Arsenal, Man c and Sunderland but never for a Liverpool club, therefore he could not have scored in all four derby matches


a clue....late 1980s onwards

We did in 1947 when the third round was played as a two legged affair. we lost the first leg but won the second and went thru on agg going all the way to the final to beat burnley 1-0.  :)

to remind you 3 englishmen, 2 welshmen, 1 scot and 1 irishman have played for three clubs who have won the European cup/Champions league

They don't have to have played for the team that won the final but for that team sometime in thier careers

I got Paul Ince...Liv, Man U and Inter Milan
Dean Saunders, Forest, Villa, Liverpool

we have to bring Italian and Spanish clubs in I would think

Kings Cross to Edinburgh, at a guess. The name - because of it's (quite dreadfyul) colour - Mallard Blue?.

I ain't up on LMS & LNER stuff, I'm a GWR man, and GWR Green is the colour ALL steam locos should be.

Post by: tikay on September 28, 2005, 12:28:12 AM
Got the name right? It's only THE most famous named express train in the world!

I thought it had ceased to operate in 2002. It used to depart Paddington at 6.05pm, always pulled by an immaculately clean King or Castle Class. Both my Dad & my Grandad were drivers AND Fireman on it at different times, & on occasions, my Dad was fireman to my Grandad.

The Paddington Crew, based at Old Oak Common (Depot Code 81a) would only take it as far as Plymouth, where a West Country crew would take over. The Old Oak Crew then stayed in Plymouth lodgings with a Mrs Stackles, this was known as "double homes".

Last time I used this service, my coach develooped a cracked wheel & had to be "retired" at Exeter St James. Geezer used to walk along the track with a hammer & tap each wheeel, if it gave an off key "ring" they knew the wheel was cracked.

Lets hope a Poker Tourney occurs in Penzanze soon, that'll be some trip, eh?

Snoops, how did you work out the Notts County answer?

well it had to be when they created the championship recently and when the premiership came into play in the 90s.


When I was a nipper and footie mad, I always remember notts county in the top flight just be4 it changed. Stuck in my mind cos they are the crappest team I can recall playing in division 1. (premiership)

I have a bizzarely good memory of football around that time.

Don't ask me why, but I can even remember the teams in each group of world cup 90, the results, etc.

Can't recall nowt from world cup 94, 98, etc.

Weird how things can be cemented in your memory.

So here's what I reckon:

Collymore (Liverpool, Forest, Villa)   
Charles (Benfica, Forest, Villa)         
Ince (Inter, Man U, Liverpool)
(Platt) (Forest, Villa, Juventus)

Saunders (Villa, liverpool, forest)
Mark Hughes (Bayern, Barc, Man U)

Tony Cascarino (Marseille, Celtic, Villa)

Alan McAnally (Bayern, Celtic, Villa)

I think Saunders is the only to play for 4 cos he was with Benfica too. Boy, he was a busy lad.

Right, Spurs were relegated from the top flight for financial irregularities (docked points) and fought it thru court and were reinstated, so technically they were relegated and still played in that division next season.
Swindon had the same fate except they didn't contest it and remained relegated.

Hate to piss on your bonfire Snoops but hasn't Robbie Keane scored 3 hat tricks at 3 clubs?

not according to sky sports.

I'm almost certain he has. Can anyone clarify?

I don't think he scored a hattrick with Coventry.

This link says that his first senior hattrick was with Leeds.

Snoops, how did you work out the Notts County answer?


Stuck in my mind cos they are the crappest team I can recall playing in division 1. (premiership)

I have a bizzarely good memory of football around that time.


Oi!!!

Gary Charles is the other Englishman by the way.

Benfica, Villa, Forest

DAMN - that makes 4 limeys then (nice one snoppy  :D)


Title: Re: NON POKER favourite pub quiz questions
Post by: Rod Paradise on September 28, 2005, 09:36:10 AM
So here's what I reckon:

Collymore (Liverpool, Forest, Villa)   
Charles (Benfica, Forest, Villa)         
Ince (Inter, Man U, Liverpool)
(Platt) (Forest, Villa, Juventus)

Saunders (Villa, liverpool, forest)
Mark Hughes (Bayern, Barc, Man U)

Tony Cascarino (Marseille, Celtic, Villa)

Alan McAnally (Bayern, Celtic, Villa)

I think Saunders is the only to play for 4 cos he was with Benfica too. Boy, he was a busy lad.

All correct (including Platt & Charles  :-[) - BUT there's one more english player you still haven't got.

Got the name right? It's only THE most famous named express train in the world!

I thought it had ceased to operate in 2002. It used to depart Paddington at 6.05pm, always pulled by an immaculately clean King or Castle Class. Both my Dad & my Grandad were drivers AND Fireman on it at different times, & on occasions, my Dad was fireman to my Grandad.

The Paddington Crew, based at Old Oak Common (Depot Code 81a) would only take it as far as Plymouth, where a West Country crew would take over. The Old Oak Crew then stayed in Plymouth lodgings with a Mrs Stackles, this was known as "double homes".

Last time I used this service, my coach develooped a cracked wheel & had to be "retired" at Exeter St James. Geezer used to walk along the track with a hammer & tap each wheeel, if it gave an off key "ring" they knew the wheel was cracked.

Lets hope a Poker Tourney occurs in Penzanze soon, that'll be some trip, eh?
