As SkyBlueAndy likes more quizzes (and there's not much else going on except dreaming about who we should bring to the club), I thought I'd put together a series of short quizzes to whet everyones appetite and maybe learn a bit more about the old game.

Here we go!!

1.Which player is reputed to have taken the ball down to the corner flag, to waste a bit of time and pulled a comb out of his shorts to comb his hair?

2.Which 2 clubs resigned from the league mid-season?

3.Which Championship Football Club has hosted 3 full England internationals at 3 different 'home' grounds?

4.Which ground is depicted in an L.S. Lowry painting?

5.Which football ground is named after a legume which grew on its surface? (hint: this club has since changed their ground)

4.Which ground is depicted in an L.S. Lowry painting?

It was Bolton's stadium, not sure what it was called.

TheRoyalScam · Jun 19, 2011

I think 3 could be Derby County - was one of the matches at the cricket ground?:thinking about:

TheRoyalScam · Jun 19, 2011

Is 1 Stanley Matthews playing for England v Italy 1948?:thinking about:

TheRoyalScam · Jun 19, 2011

Marty and RoyalScam: you certainly know your game. Well done.

Ernie Machin · Jun 19, 2011

Bolton's old ground was Burnden Park.

Ernie Machin · Jun 19, 2011

Shall we make this the general trivia thread then?

And no googling either!

Name the 5 teams that have won the European Cup and are based in their capital cities?

Disorganised1 · Jun 19, 2011

I think No 1 was Charlie George, but it could have been Frank Worthington

Ernie Machin · Jun 19, 2011

Nah, definitely Sir Stanley.

Real Madrid for one?
Have Roma won it?
Spurs?

Ernie Machin · Jun 19, 2011

You got Madrid. Nope and nope on the other two (Has to be the European Cup, not any other trophy)

Forgot about Celtic!

Ernie Machin · Jun 19, 2011

Not Celtic either (Edinburgh is Scotland's capital!)

:facepalm:

Have Ajax won it??

[I'm just biding my time before leaving to pick Scam Jnr up from work and I like a good quiz!]

TheRoyalScam · Jun 19, 2011

How about Benfica?

Ernie Machin · Jun 19, 2011

Yup on both, Ajax (4 times) and Benfica (Twice)

TheRoyalScam · Jun 19, 2011

Two more to get - guessing now on Monaco, PSG, or Sparta Prague.

Marty · Jun 19, 2011

Bayern Munich or Lazio??

Edit :- didn't a russian side win it a few years ago against rangers?? possibly Spartak Moscow??

TheRoyalScam · Jun 19, 2011

Dynamo Kiev?

SkyBlueMania · Jun 19, 2011

Ernie Machin, where did you hear this one from? I came on to this thread to ask that very question as i was asked it down the pub last night! I'm not going to spoil it but i got all except one over a rather long period of time, the last two were difficult!

Was Munich ever the capital of West Germany, or has it always been Bonn or Berlin?:thinking about:

:facepalm: need to brush up on my geography :facepalm:

Ernie Machin · Jun 19, 2011

I was asked it the other day, I got all 5 because I'm a complete trivia geek unfortunately.

The last two are Eastern European, winners from the 80's and 90's.

SkyBlueMania · Jun 19, 2011

there's no trick about it, all the teams that won still exist and the capital city they are in was and still is the capital city of the respective country! Some tricky ones in there!

Marty · Jun 19, 2011

Belgrade? do they even have a football team :wave::thinking about:

TheRoyalScam · Jun 19, 2011

I'm off in 'Dad's Taxi' now to pick Scam Jnr up, but before I go how about one of the Bucharest teams - Dinamo or Steaua? Or Slavia Prague?

Ernie Machin · Jun 19, 2011

Yup, it was Steaua. And the other team is from Belgrade, Red Star.

TheRoyalScam · Jun 19, 2011

Tricky question that, Ernie Machin! Off in Dad's Taxi now..................zoom_zoom!

Marty · Jun 19, 2011

these are kinda fun, do more of them please.

Well done guys. Other than Vetch Field, you were all pretty close or correct.

egastap · Jun 19, 2011

Ernie, why don't you come up with a mini-quiz? We've all got plenty of time on our hands until the transfer season starts.

Ernie Machin · Jun 19, 2011

Ok, here's a couple.

Name the only twins to have played in a World Cup final? And on a related note, why was that final delayed?

And here's a bugger of a question, but one of you might get it (or by committee):

There are four players who have played for four different teams who have won the European Cup without ever winning it themselves - Who are they and what were the teams?

Ernie Machin · Jun 19, 2011

and an easy one: Who is the only player to score a hat-trick in the Premiership, Championship, League 1, League 2, (or the divisions under their previous names), the League Cup, the FA Cup and for his country?

Frank and Rene van de kerkoff ( don't know if I've spelt their name correctly). Still thinking on the 2nd part of the question....not sure I understand the question yet......must be me!
