and rafa. I'm now out of ideas

John still & dave jones cant be far off 5 years

All correct

One more required, and it is by far the toughest I think. I didn't get it

Dave Jones is 4 years and quite a few days, so close

12 original members of the football league

Go.........

Aston Villa
Blackburn Rovers
Bolton Wanderers
Notts County
Stoke
West Bromwich Albion
Wolverhampton Wanderers

there are 7 of them

would be guessing the rest

everton, pne

Correct 3 more

this quiz makes me feel like a winner. I only knew 2 but it means a lot that tighty knew neither of them

Derby

Just going regionally..Lancashire...Burnley?

Well done, 1 more

MK Dons?

lol

newton heath?

nope

Must be a Northern team from Lancashire as that's where it all started, Oldham, Rochdale or Accrington are the only candidates

edit. Bury maybe

It's Accrington

Well done

Good question, I would have known very few of them.

Being honest, I didn't know it was so northern based at that time.

was then

is now

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

At a guess, Arsenal 1997-98

def heard that one before but couldn't remember so googled it. found that they had 6 at once but 7 within the calendar year, they were still rubbish though

England's 1966 World Cup winning team had players representing 8 different club sides.

Which clubs were they ?

In before West Ham fan says West Ham won the World Cup

Yeah, the obvious one.   :D

Pretty sure Jack Charlton was Leeds and Bobby Man U

Leicester. Fulham. Blackpool.

Liverpool

One to get.

Everton? (alan ball?)

Correct

Nope!


Correct!

Southampton


Keegan
Ball
Watson
Shilton
Mick Mills

Mark Wright?

Channon?

Think that's it

Which Scottish footballer appeared twice on Top of the Pops on the same night?

Archibald

all of the above, except Keegan left before Mills joined.

Who is the only player to have scored in a Manchester, Merseyside and Glasgow derby?

Kanchelkis, I think


there is a better one

Only person to score in a N London, North East, Merseyside and Manchester Derby

Paul Stewart?

yes

There are 7 players that have 4 FA Cup winners medals. Name them.

Giggs Keane

Both correct.

Mark Hughes

Tony Adams

More than 4? Ashley Cole

Lampard

Hughes and Cole yes. Lampard and Adams no.

Doh, had this question at a quiz night a few weeks ago, obv before this years Cup final.

Vieira?

David seaman, Andy cole,

i have a feeling about freddie ljungberg

As well as john barnes who were the other three members of the england 1990 world cup squad to take part in the rap off to decide who sung that bit on world in motion?

Gazza
Bryan robson
Paul parker

who was the first asian footballer to play in the premer leauge?

lol, how did I know Rhodesy would chose a Bradford based question.

Zesh.

Ji Sung Park, as an alternative.

Inamoto was here before Park wasn't he?

surely zesh is british even though he qualifies for pakistan

and karim bagheri predates all of them I think. he played 15 minutes for charlton in about 2001 at ipswich, the most drunk I have ever been at a football match

I don't even think Zesh is the first. First British Asian wasn't he but not first Asian.

In essence therefore, LeedsRhodesy has a bum question.

maybe zesh wasn't his answer and he's tricked us all

so, any advance on karim bagheri?

Wooops it's ok I will ban myself from the quiz for a week

Six countries have won the world cup on home soil.

Which countries and in which years ?

Argentina 78

France 96

Germany 74

England 66

I hate to mark you down, but France 96 ?  Really, I expected better from you.

Two to get.

Uraguay either 30/34/38!

France 2004 was it? France


Uruguay 1930

1930

rich, 96 and 04 were euros

I have lost it.

I blame Ironside.

98 France was.

germany 90, but already had them I guess

BINK, and you steal the point away from Tighty.


1990 was held in Italy.

One more to get, and it's another early one.

italy, one of those years when it wasn't uruguay

You can have that.  1934

I'm not sure how many answers there are to this but at least 3

name the clubs who have won a league title outside of their own country

Gretna

Cardiff


think they are two

I'm looking for winners of the top division so no to gretna and oooooh, so close for cardiff

probs not what your thinking, but The New Saints have just won the Welsh Premier, and they play in Oswestry, Eng

ooh, good answer. though they're 1/2 and 1/2 english and welsh I reckon it's worth a point

ok, you're all rubbish so it's clue time

for the 3 that I know the leagues were won in france (the easy one), germany and ireland (please get the name of this one right tighty)

Monaco

Ive googled/wiki'd for the German one and still dont know.

Ireland - Derry City?
Germany - Was this team still technically part of E.Germany when they won the title?

monaco and (london)derry city correct

german one not east german. predates bundesliga

they were technically german at the time

Waddle?

Ninja edit: wrong

shilton, butcher

Rapid Vienna

Only 1 team in the English & Scottish leagues does not contain any of the letters from the word FOOTBALL. Which one?

QPR.   :)

Nope.

Clues: Man no 1: Despite terrace chants to the contrary this man really did get beat this time

Man no 2: In another football song, if anyone could, he could, this time he couldn't.

Dundee?

des walker then

Des Walker
Carlton Palmer

No idea what the question was but Des Walker.

FML. Nearly got a football question.....

So close.... Screw you Tighty and your ninja posts!!!!

Rapid Vienna.

bingo

1941 while austria was annexed. they also won the german cup in 38

Marv!

Yup

oops, missed that. congrats

Yep, man no2 was a team mate of Barnes at the time.

Steve McManaman??

Close.

Just googled Mcmanaman, and he was obv too young at the time.........

Peter Beardsley? Barry Vennison?

Rob Jones?

No and no, although apparently Beardsley was there and refused to take part in the rap off. With Mcmanaman you were close with the name!

Nope.

McMahon then obv....

Bazinga! "Well Steve McMahon sure can rap, it's about time he had an England cap; so come on Bobby Robson, he's your man; 'cause if anyone can, Macca can!"

Awesome article in the latest 442 about how World in Motion came to be.

Can someone do a question from the era when Forest were last good and preferably about Forest.

c. 1990 I would guess. Pearce, Walker, Keane etc.

I might actually get one right then and finally prove that I'm a true bloke.

Matthew Le Tissier converted 48 out of 49 penalties, name the goalie who saved the only one he missed.

Which British team has won the European Cup more times than its own top league?

This one may take some thinking about.

Fatboy Crossley.

Mark Crossley

Oh F**K OFF DWAYNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Erm.......

Forest?

:D

Someone told me this recently so not 100% sure on it.

What was the first live football match shown on SKY?

Name the famous footballer who gained full international caps for three different countires, also name the countries. It's possible there could be more than one correct anwser to this but I only know one player.

Forest vs someone else

Premier League wise it was Notts Forest vs Spurs IIRC, Teddy scoring for Forest in a 2-1 win, might not have been the first game on sky though. Thinking about it, it used to be BSKYB right and I'm sure they sposored teh conference at one point so probs a lower league game.

I knew he'd bite for that!

No.

FYP

Scotland, Wales, Ireland.

I have no idea about this but it's a pretty safe guess.

Di Stefano??

If yes, Argentina, Spain, and.............. another foreign country.......!!

0/3 good effort though Matt  ;)

matt. between 1960 and 1983 no live english league games were aired. spurs featured in the first game after the 23 year layoff, who were their opposition?

Correct, Columbia was the other.

Shamlessly nicked from The Knowledge but...Two of Europes countires top divisions have only ever had five champions (the fewest in Europe) name them.

Of whom did Brian Clough say:

 
1 "At last England have appointed a manager who speaks English better than the players."

2 "If he'd been English or Swedish, he'd have walked the England job." 

3 "Anybody who can do anything in Leicester but make a jumper has got to be a genius."

4 "Stand up straight, get your shoulders back and get your hair cut." 

5 "Take your hands out of your pockets."

6 "I only ever hit him once. He got up so I couldn't have hit him very hard."

Five different people in the answers

serbia and montenegro?

Forest

Matt, when the City Ground was re-developed why was the new stand at the Bridgford end built with an uneven roof height?

1 - Sven or Ron Greenwood?
4 - Teddy Sherringham
6 - Nigel Clough/Roy Keane

No

1. Sven

2. Martin O'Neil

3. Martin O'Neil

4. Nigel Clough

5. Roy Keane

6. Nigel Clough

All kinda educated guesses. Obv got at least one wrong because I've only got 4 people.

6 is Keane

4 is not Sheringham, need to go further back, might be too tough a question

1,2,3 correct

6 is Keane

Leaves 4 and 5

5 is a famous quote because of the "star" he was talking to.

 4 might just be a bad question, sorry, unless you are v geeky

damn you're good

Trevor Francis for 4 or 5

Francis for 5?

Trevor Francis is 5, yes

norr, just checked and these 2 have only had 4 seasons which is less than 5 so I should get some points imo

4 - John Robertson? Dave McKay?

I think I get that one. Sweet Potata fails for not knowing which question he was answering so clearly not actually knowing the answer.

tyty, it was at some award ceremony or something was it, i deffo saw something about it recently.

You wish !!!!

For this we're excluding leages that have been going for <20 years so latvia, ukraine etc don't count. Question badly phrased, email the guardian!

I think I know it but I kinda cheated.

John McGovern?

My Dad just came round and I asked him. He seemed pretty confident.

I very much doubt the guardian are going to care if I complain about you posting dud questions on a poker forum

seeing as my pick the new country approach has failed I'm gonna go for albania and armenia

scrap that, I'm going monaco, vatican city as they don't have international teams

one of these is Turkey.

Fenerbache, Galatasaray, Trabzonspor, Besiktas and Bursaspor, who happened to win it this year for the first time and not be one of the "Big 4".

And people thought our league was dominated...

oh ffs. I thought the question was 5 championships, not 5 champions

can I stick with the vatican which has only had 2?

Zing!

Scotland?

Just checked and that's miles off

Holland?

PSV, Ajax, ummmm

edit - feyenord, AZ, & McClarens lot (how?)

portugal

three managers have won the European Cup/Champions league with two clubs. Name them

Joooooose

natch

the two others?

rafa benitez?

chris kamara

Is it Fergie ok for this or does Super Cup by way of Cup Winners Cup not count for European Cup.

No, doesn't count

Missed my Nottingham Forest moment then. Now leaving thread but happy to pretend for a moment I was a real bloke.

I'm pretty sure we've had this in a previous sports quiz thread. Hitzfeld and Happel.

last England international to score against the big 4 in one season? not including Bent this year just gone.

Shearer?

no

le tissier

First Asian in the Premier League?

Ronnie Rosenthal was in it from the start.

no

Phillips?

no

Thats a real sick/tough question Ace, think you've starved us of information though really.  Can you give us a little booster?

after an hour of guessing i was given the clues, only 1 england cap and post 2000, i got it after a while.

Massive punt but Jeffers ?

no

;)

Did he play for Ipswich ?

no

 Lee Bowyer

no

David Dunn?

Michael Ricketts?

winner

Sigh, must work on my crypticity.

i got it before, didn't understand the booster bit though?

If they were meant to be clues, they certianly went over my head!

Just guessed they give you one if you had it.  :D

Good question tho.

Which 6 players of the England World Cup 23 have never played in The Football League?

120. Yids
Tottenham Hotspur (From the club's North London Jewish heritage)

I'm pretty sure this has only been done by two players, and first one was Klinsmann ?

What is unique about the final squads of England, Germany and Italy for the 2010 World Cup ?

All the players play in their national league?

Correct.

There are five countries that have no English based players in their World Cup Squads.

I'll give you the first two, Germany and Italy, name the other three.

interesting use of the word unique

greece?

I'll go for somewhere wacky - North Korea

mexico?

obv n. korea

duh, just remembered the other question. must be germany and italy

Correct

Sotiris Kyrgiakos (Liverpool)

I realised afterwards that 'unique' possibly wasn't that appropriate a choice of word.  Thanks for pointing it out.   ;)

Guillermo Franco (West Ham)
Carlos Vela (Arsenal)

sigh, got carried away at getting your 1st question right.

japan?

Correct.

1 more to get.

Venezuala aren't there :)

And now I've looked at the groups so will not guess.

And you've given a good pointer.

Chile, Paraguay?

:dontask:

So close, so close.

must be you are gay then

Winner

Correct. Klinsmann and of course fat Ronaldo.

Bugger - forgot about them.

did we get them all yet?

on the same topic, what is 'unique' about the australia and new zealand squads?

last player to make his england debut in a world cup game?

How can something be unique if it's happened in 2 places? You're asking what is unique about the Australian squad? Oh and it's also unique about the New Zealand squad too....... hmmmmm

I'm going to take a guess that none of the squad members were actually born in the country they represent?

I think he's having a little rib of a previous poster who asked a question about 3 teams & unique.

this


not this

Went to a world cup themed quiz last night & this question came up. What was different about the USA vs Switzerland match in the 1994 world cup than any other world cup match prior to that point?

1st match played indoors

Pretty sure this is right in Detroit at the old Pontiac Silverdome.

Name the only player to score in every one of his sides games at a world cup.

who is the only player to win back to back prem titles with different clubs?

No one?

(Eric Cantona did win back to back titles but Leeds won the old division 1 in 92')

oh, dunno why SSN said that then! must have been bk2bk titles in england...good knowledge by you lol

Which England player played against their teacher in the 1998 World Cup?

sigh

I know the answer and it is horrible

Was listening to 5 Live on the way home last night and they had a good question.  I missed the answers so won't be able to confirm them but thought I'd bump the post as I was curious as to who they were !  Apologies if it's been asked already

Only two men have been sent off in the first minute of a match in the history of the Premiership, who are they?

pressman

Wasn't that a Chamionship game?

yeah, now you mention it it probably was

Vinnie Jones? Might have been pre premier league though.

had a quick google and found this

http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/opinion/blogs/football-banter/Sunderland-midfielder-David-Meyler-Man-United-s-Liam-O-Brien-Blackburn-s-Tim-Flowers-and-the-Top-10-fastest-sendings-off-of-all-time-article319281.html

which would suggest that it's never happened unless it's since feb when the article was written

They said one was a goalkeeper, that's all I know.

Number 1 is comedy  rotflmfao

Pressman is one apparently, although they in the Premiership the league before.  Perhaps I miss heard part of the question!

The other is in the list Gatso posted, 4) Keith Gillespie (Sheffield United) - 12 seconds after coming on as a sub.

So the answer is actually no one! :D

lolz. so there were only 2 players to be sent off in the 1st min of a prem match; one wasn't in the prem and the other wasn't in the 1st minute

seems standard for these footy questions

walter boyd did the same as gillespie in a league match, may as well count him too

Good question eh!   I should have listened properly.

is it ok to change sport?

name the 7 european golfers to have won multiple major championships since 1960

did anyone ever get my one about what is 'unique' about the australian and NZ world cup squads? cba to check

assuming not then the answer was that both contained players who at the time didn't play for a club side

Faldo, Seve , Olazabal, Langer
Struggling for more will think

Doh, Harrington!! 

I'm sure that's the easy ones out of the way.

Woosie?

Lyle.

Jacklin.

woosie no, the rest are right.

Hadn't Pat Jennings retired from club football a year before the 1986 World Cup?

no idea. was only referring to 2010 squads, I'm sure there's plenty more over the years if you look back
