Sky Blues Quiz (4 Viewers)

Mercian In Anglia · 2025-09-05T09:33:39+0100

It's that time of year again, where we all stop what we are doing for a week so that lads too old for the England U-21s can play against a Pyrenean political anomaly the size of Nuneaton. To help stave off the boredom, here's a Sky Blues Quiz for you. Answers at some point over the weekend, all facts are from Wikipedia so bonus points will be awarded to any pedants who can prove otherwise.

Q1. Name 5 players who have played for City and scored at a FIFA World Cup finals
Q2. Name the cup semi finals City competed in during the 1980s
Q3. We all know we're the Sky Blues, a lot of us know we used to be The Bantams, but what were we before that?
Q4. Clarrie Bourton is famously our record goalscorer- who is the 2nd highest?
Q5. Name the first USA international to play for City?
Q6. Who played for City, and also played 51 times for England?
Q7. City have played in all 4 tiers of English football- what are our highest league positions in each tier?
Q8. What's the missing word? 'Southern Professional _____ Cup Holders, you'll never sing that...'
Q9. Name the teams City have played in FA Cup Quarter Finals.
Q10. Name the subs from the L2 play off final v Exeter. For fans of squad depth, a bonus point for how many times that seven played for City in the league during their careers.

Good quiz mate, get it on the main page

JimmyHillsbeard · 2025-09-05T14:08:41+0100

1. Moldovan (who remains the only player to score at a WC while a Cov player); Robbie Keane; Robert Jarni; Haji wright and one more (let’s say Paul Hall, or Chris Birchall)

JimmyHillsbeard · 2025-09-05T14:13:39+0100

2. West Ham (pretty certain Forest was in the 1990s)

3. Singers
4.
5. cobi Jones
6. Terry Butcher
7. We’ve played in more than that, we played in Division 3 north and south too
8.
9. Wolves, Sheffield Wednesday, Wolves (again)
10. Micheal Folivi was there. Was Charles Veram?

Wegerle was before Jones?

The subs were deffo JCH, Ponticelli and Reid as they came on. O'Brien must be the sub keeper, Maguire-Drew was that year and I think McDonald was the sub cb. Not sure on the other or the games played

should clarify that I'm lumping Div 3 N&S in with the standard 3rd Division/ league one as all part of third tier. But yes you're quite right, only club to have played in Div 4, 3 N&S, 2, 1 & prem I believe.

Mercian In Anglia · 2025-09-05T14:32:53+0100

already 2 several world cup scorers named that I didn't have on my list- good going!

rob9872 · 2025-09-05T14:34:55+0100

Apart from Wolves and Sheff Wed, I think we played Sheff Utd in QF and lost (but could have been last 16 so maybe ignore me)

Ah right, I was thinking of the Johnston Paint Trophy

No of course you’re right 1997-8 quarter finals lost on penalties.

JimmyHillsbeard · 2025-09-05T15:26:07+0100

And 2) should also include Leeds in 1987 obvs.

A fifth Cov player to score in the World Cup is of course, Moustapha Hadji

Also Joe Cole, Jordan Henderson and if we're being really tenuous, then Daniel Sturridge too

Wyken Sky Blue · 2025-09-05T15:49:51+0100

I thought Stern John scored against England in 2006 but think it was ruled offside

No googling or looking at others' answers:

1- Moldovan, Breen, Keane, others
2- West Ham, League Cup (81?); Leeds, FA Cup (87); Reading, Simod Cup (88); Forest, League Cup (89)
3- Singers used to be the club name. Were we the Blackbirds for a bit when we had a black kit for a bit in the 19th century?
4- I do not know. SHAME ON ME.
5- Got to be a trick; presumably someone before Jones. I don't know, though. Jones.
6- Joe Cole?
7- Div 4 - 2nd; Div 3 - 1st; Div 2 - 1st; Div 1 - 6th
8- No idea; a region or place doesn't work grammatically there either.
9- Man Utd, someone in 1981, Sheffield Wednesday, Sunderland, somebody in 1988, Chelsea, Wolves
10- Ponticelli & JCH. Other than them, no idea.

I am a bad fan.

Just checked; they didn't. Got a point, though.

And not reading the question properly.

FA Cup quarter finalists, not quarter finalists.

Manchester United, Sheffield Wednesday, Chelsea, Wolves. Are the ones I either know or think I know.

FFS.

That was the one I thought I'd nailed.

Yeah, completely forgot that one.

Also, was it Man United in the early 60s? As a third division side, after beating Sunderland or something. That's what I have in my head, anyway.

PUSB-We_are_going_up · 2025-09-05T16:23:36+0100

Im an idiot couldnt think of a 5th goalscorer at a world cup but used Joe Cole as an answer later on

Captain Dart · 2025-09-05T16:23:48+0100

Q6. Either Gerry Francis or Kenny Samson.

Ps I am wrong Francis played fewer thsn 51 times for England and Samson far more but Kenny played 51 times for the Sky Blues.
