A bit of help.........

[Zeus]

Hi guys, am constructing a pub quiz, and really want to slip the reds in somewhere in the sports section, can anyone confirm that we are still the only club to retain the european championship???


Or if thats wrong, does anyone have any quiz related stuff I cud slip the reds in with??? :wub:

 

[Rich]

There's the old classics like Forest being the first club to have lettering spelled out with the seats in the stand, inventing the crossbar, shinpads, floodlighting and the referee's whistle.

Other than that, there is the famous 'which football club donated shirts to Arsenal when they formed?'

 

[Johnny Bravo]

Plenty of clubs have done it.

Are you not thinking of us being the only team to win european cup more times than domestic title?

Definetly not. The European Championship is contested by Nations, not Clubs.

I didnt want to call it champions league for obvious reasons.......

 

[Rich]

Then you shoullbe calling it the European Cup.

Congo is just being a pedantic old fool.

You'd all be suprised if I didn't.

Liverpool won it in 77 and retained it in 78 before we won it in 79

real madrid won it 5 times in a row 56,57,58,59,60

bayern munich won it 3 times in row 74,75,76

Perfect mate thanks,

Think I'll have to go with the crossbar one then, or a combination of all three!! Thanks Rich!

oh and congo...............go pop some kids football or something!!

Don't we still hold the record for the biggest top flight win?

12-0 vs Leicester Fosse (now Leicester City) Division 1 in 1909

You know what? I think I might. Sounds like fun...

 

[Rich]

Whilst these, grab some candy...

We were the last ever winners of the Football Combination, the forerunner to the Football League...

 

[wolfdog]

How about a player related one....

That Rob Earnshaw is the only ever player to score a hat-trick in all 4 league competitions, the FA cup, the League Cup and at International Level.

That Rob Earnshaw is the only ever player to score a hat-trick in all 4 league competitions, the FA cup, the League Cup and at International Level.

There's a caveat to that. Lee Camp would have saved all his shots.

Haven't you heard?? All previous records were declared nul and void the Premiership was formed..

 

[yam]

Sorry, I'd forgotten in our SKY tv dominated world that nothing actually happened prior to the 2002/2003 season.

If only someone would take our "largest premier league home defeat" record off our hands....

 

[Cooky]

Luke, here's a question for you:

Which football team boasts the supporter with the biggest head?

 

[JoeBaker]

We were the last ever winners of the Football Combination, the forerunner to the Football League...

Well said that man, so you could argue we have been English Champions twice. Also if we're talking pub quizzes still the only English Team to beat Celtic at Parkhead in a European Tie.

Who scored the first premiership goal shown live on TV? 8)

Teddy Sheringham

 

[Johnny Bravo]

Teddy Sheringham

Who was it against, what minute, what shinpads was he wearing and who commentated on the goal.

 

[Cooky]

great question! And if anyone puts Ryan Giggs or anything they should be lined up and shot

 

[Rich]

Teddy Sherringham.

I was watching Michael Jackson when that happened....

 

[adamthered]

Against Liverpool on the 16th August 1992

The minute? I seem the think it was 62nd minute

The shinpads? Well Diadora were popular around then, so I'll go with that

Commentator? Well I was at the match, and being about 12 at the time was still pretty immature so would probably be still running the commentary in my head, soooooooooooooooooo.... ME!!
