Half time entertainment
1. Five Norwegians have played Premier League matches for Liverpool, who are they?
Stig Inge Bjornebe, Vegard Heggem, Oyvind Leonhardsen... was John Carew there on loan at some point? Think there might have been a backup keeper too but buggered if I can give you a name.

53 but guessing
2. Three clubs have been promoted to the Premier League since it began but did not appear in 1992-93 but have not been relegated. Which three?
I'm not quite sure what this one means to be honest. Didn't start in PL but not relegated since they came up? If so lets say Stoke, Swansea, Bournemouth if first seasons count

Craig Bellamy
Arnes supernøtt
Who was the first Norwegian to score in the Premier League?

Think the other Liverpool player is something like Martin Skellenberg. The first Norwegian to score might have been Jostein Flo?

I went on a course when I lived here, it was very very good. I've also been fortunate that my father-in-law is a Norwegian teacher so he was relentless in correcting me! |
