Never in a million years am i pulling that out of the bag. Good thread though.

QPR keeper is correct.

Were looking for a Dutch centre half.

Final Clue.

who was in goal for ipswich then?

sigh got my seasons mixed up :(

i know it, he scored at hillsbrough that season, when iirc the first occurence of passback to keeper rule was enforced, big nose mug micheal vonk

Sigh, how could I not remember vonk the conk, wp trigg.

I'm certain on forrest, dud question imo

also discovered while googling to check on forrest so putting in little letters, what about robbie earle and robert warzycha

Nayim?

Watched that Alan Sugar programme on BBC2 and they said 11 players.

Having googled it I used this as my source.... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-473209/The-lost-generation--How-foreign-players-dominate-English-game.html

Question could be flawed.

this is what I found. also gives 11 players but a different 11 http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2005/aug/24/theknowledge.sport1

forrest, jensen, schmeichel, cantona, earle, segers, halle, warzycha, kanchelskis, limpar, nilsson

interestingly neither seem to class ireland as overseas

Fairly sure when I went to Ireland last, I went  over the sea. Could be wrong though.

Pretty sure in this context 'overseas' meant 'needs a work permit', which didn't apply to Ireland.

yeah, pretty sure they've never been classed as overseas as far as prem league rules are concerned. any home grown quota will always include the irish

Liverpool won the 1986 FA Cup final without an englishman in the starting line up.

Name the players and the nationalities.

ronny whealan - irish

jan molby - danish

bruce grobbelar - zimbabwe

Vonk the defender?

1 left to get
clue, he was a correct answer to a previous question

ignore this, I didn't realise there was a new question, I'm still talking about 92-3

final answer is yorke

What is your final list? I asked this to a mate last night and he said one which he is convinced and i don't think any of us mentioned it.

A quick Wikipedia would have sorted that out surely?

Not overly quick and it doesn't just say he played for X club and scored X goals. There is reading to be done which i am too lazy to do. Anyways. Keith Gillespie was the claim.

Lol at my laziness. It does exactly that! it says played for X team with X amount of goals. Still have to click on them and make sure they were in the premiership at that time. Looks like he was right.

Ha yeah, usually it will have the games/goals stats on the right hand side of someones wiki page.

ball, watch, watch, red card, yellow card, book, pen, whistle, coin, thing that vibrates when the flag goes up, earpiece

that's 11

and 2 linesmen

If it's in my son's U12 league then the last two are frequently a massive chip on the shoulder and an inflated sense of self worth....

Deva is in 2 countries
Newcastle North
Plymouth south and west
Norwich east
WBA highest

match ball and toss up coin is correct

thing that vibrates also must be correct
