Thetownend.com

right lets start a proper one and lets lay down some ground rules. only one question can be asked at a time and whoever answers it can then ask the next question, otherwise things start to get muddled, also lets refrain from going off topic as there are plenty of opportunities to do that elsewhere.

right i will start with an easy one.....

WHO IS THE MOST DECORATED BRITISH PLAYER OF ALL TIME?

Great thred.

In terms of range of medals I'd go golden era liverpool player - Maybe Kev Keegan, cos he went to Hamberg.  If not maybe Steve McMananananaman?

nope.

Is it Ryan Giggs?

Decorated is such a vague term it could be anything....Mex is just taking the piss.

   Peter Wall ex of Liverpool and Palace.....There's millions of decorated Walls.

no i mean medals you cheeky old rascal, giggs is close he is second most decorated with 14 medals, the leader has 17 medals including leauge titles european titles and leauge cup victories

 Usually its Phil Neil

nope

Someone from the Celtic side that won 9 league titles in a row? was that the 60s or 70s, maybe a European cup winner too?  Or Kenny Dalgleish?

reg is ridiculously close

Gary Neville

That implies it is a golden era liverpool player, but as I wasn't born/was very young I can't remember - Alan Kennedy?

Could be Hansen....but I'll argue against it.

Could be indeed, he holds the same number of Championship medals as Neal.

I'm agreeing with Matt, surely one of the Celtic players has won more, they used to win the double and triples all the time.

i have it as hansen eight league titles, three european cups, and three leauge cups, makes 16 not 17, i think phil neal only won two leauge cups.

anyway over to you reg.........

 Neal has 17 including a European Super Cup in 77 which Hansen didn't get.

God help us!!!  We're gonna be here all day if Reg gives us a mildly difficult question.

Name the two individuals involved in a GB Olympic football team, who went on to win the European Cup?

Jock Stein and Bill Shankley?

 Incorrect.

Busby?

Was this the 1970-something GB team?

Any of those correct.

 Matt Busby is one.

Mattboyslim =  :king:

I took on Reg and survived :D

Not a clue on the second one, Paisley?

I think the GB team played in the 48 Olympics, that's why I went for Stein.  I should have got Busby.

 No......means you've to do the next question.

I'm working on '48 Olympics, then thinking of managers of European cup winning teams, hence Busby.  Don't think we played Olympic football after this, if memory serves me correctly.

we played in 1960 lost to brasil

BRAZIL        4 (Gerson, China 2, Wanderley)
GREAT BRITAIN 3 (R.Brown 2, Lewis)
Brazil: Carlos Alberto - Nono, Decio, Dari, Roberto Dias - Rubens II,
        Gerson - Wanderley, Paulinho Ferreira, China, Waldir.
GB: Pinner - Thompson, Holt, McKinven - L.Brown, Sleap - Lewis, R.Brown,
    Hasty, Lindsay, Devine.

 I'm assuming the Gerson is the famous one....Rubens II....I love Brazilian football.

was the other one ron saunders? he played in 56 olympics, didnt he manage villa to european triumph? or am i really wrong......

Loving the formations

As I read it Brazil are 4-2-4 and England are 3-2-5

No wonder it was 4-3  :soapy tit wank:

Is it Ronnie Simpson? GK 1948 team, and was part of the 1967 Celtic European winning team??

good call........

 Correct. Next.

 Saunders had gone by the start of the Euro campaign....it was managed by his ex assistant Tony Barton.

:D

Who was the first substitute in an FA Cup Final, and for which club and year?

Dennis Clark for WBA in 1968

Grrrr. Your Next then spacey.

 Was it Dennis Clarke of WBA who came on for John Kaye....in the Astle final of 68.?

It was Reg but spacey beat you to it...

Haha! I haven't really got time to do a question so I pass my go to Reg, although if someone could tell me if I left the iron on this morning I would be grateful.

With respect to the iron, it's a no, if you think you left something on then you didn't, the only time things get left on are the times you forget until it's too late... FACT!

EDIT: Please do not sue me if my interpretation of Sod's law was wrong and your house has burned to the ground.

Excellent news!

 Name the  5 players who have won Prem, League Cup, FA Cup, and Champions League?

Peter Schmeicel and Nicolas Anelka

Roy Keane (although missed Euro final)?
A chelsea player?

i'd have thought a number of manyoo players would have won all four titles, i.e. roy keane, ryan giggs, david beckham etc.

but i don't think that's right. are they british players?

United haven't won the league cup for some years, but Keane won it with Forest I think.

 Schmeichel is one.

Solskjaer?
Sheringham?

it went from 2 to 4 to 5  :D

 Giggs is another.

 I blame Ralphy.

Steven Gerrard & Jamie Carragher ?

Claude Makelele?

 No neither of those two.

Geremi?

  Not Claude.

Beckham?

 Not won the FA Cup.

Gary Neville?

 Not won the LC.

 No.

 Think Gerrard would like to win the Prem, to complete his collection.

So to recap 5 names so far Giggs and Schmeichel are in...3 to go.

Dennis Irwin & Dwight Yorke?

 Correct...that's 4.

Was Andy Cole at Blackbrun when they won it?

Nah Shearer Sutton was up top for Blackburn back then.

 Andrew Cole indeed was at Blackburn (LC), and so became the final man to complete the set.

 L of Bo should go for his Irwin and Yorke.

OK, let me think for a min...

Agreed. Your turn, Bo.

(i'lll remember this one to stump my colleagues...)

OK, not particularly difficult but here we go...

Who is the only player to score in a Manchester, Merseyside and Glasgow derby?

Kanchelskis... (we had this in the last thread...!)

Arse sorry, I'll do another then

Kanchelskis, was done the other day I think.

Name 4 Premiership managers who have played football on the same side as David Beckham?

Bruce
Robson?
Moyes
Pearce

Steve Bruce, Bryan Robson, David Moyes are three

1 more...

Not Robson

Gascoigne?

Edit: Doh! Premiership.

Hughes

Nope, Premier League Managers

Correct - your go!

Thought Moyes would be a stumbling block there tbh

What were QPR known as before they were QPR?

 St Jude's

Correct!  :D

Who were known as Pine Villa until 1899?

Aston Villa?

Hopeful guess, I've not known anything so far, except the player to score in a Merseyside Manchester and Glasgow derby.

Oldham Athletic

 Correct...they should have kept it.

I bet it's not Aston Villa.

Indeed.

Which 2 players have played in Merseyside, London, North East and Milan derbies?

Bo's turn...

 Is that how Sadie pronounces Saturday's opponents?

Which 2 players have played in Merseyside, London, North East and Milan derbies?

Very good reg and yes she does  :D

Good question, Bo.

David Platt?

and Luther Blissett

Neither

Paul Ince?

Paolo Di Canio?

(Clutching at straws!).

Ince is a great call.

[/b]

That's one.

1 more....

Nope, still 1 to go.

Ince was correct SY

hurrah i'm ace!

Christian Ziege and Paul Ince

[/b]

Spot on.

Your go STFCFAN methinks.

Gaaaah!!!  I was just thinking him!

I'm on fire!!  :D

Who was the first Liverpool captain to lift a European trophy?

Tommy Smith

Correct, that was too quick for my liking!

 Emlyn Hughes?

Ok my go...

Who is the only non league club to have won the FA Cup since the formation of the football league?

 Spurs

Correct reg  :)

Here's a daft one.....no googling or other internet usage allowed.

 Bolton recently fielded a team of eleven different nationalities, v Plovdiv, and it stayed like that after the first sub.....

 12 players involved and countries of origin please...pref in 4-5-1 order.

Jaaskalinen - Finland?

 In goal correct.

 Back 4 ?

Campo Spain?

Jaaskelinien - Finland in Goal

Gardner - Jamaica
Jaidi - Tunisia
N'Gotty - France (?)
 -

Speed - Wales
Okacha - Nigeria
Diouf - Senegal
Pedersen - Sweden
Campo - Spain

Davies - England

 In midfield.correct

Ben Haim, cant remember his nationality?.

 Not playing.

Bruno N'Gotty-France

jared borghetti- mexico?

ricky hunt- england?

Okocha-Nigeria
Nakata-Japan
Borghetti-Mexico
Pedersen

 3 at the back are in you're missing 1 obviously

 Speed was missing as was Davies, so Diouf was up front on his own

 That's 8 by my calc.

Kevin Nolan-England
Stelios G-Greece

Giannakopolis - greece

Nolan would have been the englishmen then.

 Add Nakata and Borghetti, he was sub, onto MBS 8.

 Nicky Hunt... Dex... is 9 so one more.

Not sure we've had the LB yet.

Gardner?

 That's it....oh we had him anyway.

  I nominate MBS.....

See Its your fucking fault everyone thinks I'm a carrot  cruncher :x  :D

Since she turned into a working girl (ahem) Sade's language is apalling.

Sorry Sorry Sorry :( I'm a good girl really.

She is pure filth latelly blackcurrant i agree.

:) Thats you.
My mummy says I am a good girl.

back on topic.... joey o'brien (irish)?

matt boy slims turn.......

doesnt look like matts around so i will pose another question........


which team in england holds the record for the most draws in one season?

Wolves?

no but last season they came very close to it.

does that mean o'brien was right?

Must have been  :roll:

no it was gardner jamaica

Can i ask one?

theres one going,

which team in england has had the most draws in one season?

and no its not wolves

Hartlepool?

Bristol city? :|

nope

give you a clue it was in the seventies

Ah dad just helped me, is it Norwich?

correct they drew 23 of there 42 matches, over to you ralphy.....

Hold the back page.....Exeter had 23 in 86/87....was in 46 games though.

Ok in 63/64 season, which 2 clubs from the same city became the first two clubs to meet each other in all 4 leagues of the football league.

you had him twice...

was it sheff wed sheff united?

Nope Not Sheff Wed & Utd.

Yeah..... but Cardiff and Hartlepool both had 23 draws in 97/98 in Div 3

oh piss off reg :D

bristol city and rovers

Nope wrong again Mex.

well in that case it must be liverpool everton

Nope  :D

Is it Bradford City and Bradford Park Avenue?

Reg your unbelievable  :o

Over to you....

Halifax? :o

Dam you reg I thought I had it then :D

Sade we're on a different question since the most draws  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

:x

Reg must be flicking through his immense library of football trivia preparing a question...

which means we're shagged

Who was the last man to become an England cap at both football and cricket.....that is  he received either of his caps the latest?

Phil Neville played for England at youth level I think

Dennis Compton?

 Full England cap in both our national sports.

that rules a few out

Shame Andy Goram's Scottish. :-))(

No idea, must have been a while ago now I should think.

Reg am i right or wrong?

willie watson 1920

i read somewhere that ian botham graced the welsh national squad  :?

dennis compton?

 Dennis was never capped by England at football, though his brother Les was.

Les Compton? :wink:

Les Compton?!

willie watson 1920!!!!

Reg, i just looked it up, Dennis Compton has 14 england caps.

jack durston

 Les was never capped at cricket.

 Willie Watson was the last but one, Mex.

bollocks

"fatty" faulkes?

It's Dennis Compton as i said!!! He has 14 war time caps for England at football.

He was vice captain of the england cricket side too.

 Maybe in some war time games or similar,but they don't count.

 Anyway....he still wouldn't be the last.

yes, he does i thought so to

I win  8)

Bollocks.

Arthur Milton as well.

 Correct

 Arthur Milton it is one of Gloster's finest.

 Interestingly became a postman on retiring from cricket.

go on then ralph

Ok my turn....

In 54/55 season, Torquay had 2 players with the same name as a Swindon player of today.

What were their names?

Miglioranzi? :wink:

Smith?

Dave and Geoff?

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Strangely no!

Wrong Edinburgh.

Heath.

Dave and Geoff

Wrong again.

Evans.

Dave and Geoff?

Nope!!!

Thorpe.

Dave and Geoff?

Whats with all these dave's and geoff's???

And no your wrong.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/devon/sport/football_gallery_2002_2003/archive/torquay_1e.shtml

Spot the hard man!

Sammy Collins?

Got to be Collins.

 Tony.....and Ron AKA Sam

Anyone know yet??

To recap, 2 Torquay players in their 54/55 squad with the same names as a current Swindon player.

 See above

No thats wrong Reg  :D

I've stumped you  :mrgreen:

jenkins

Nope!!!

Wells?

Stroud?

You lot are hopeless!!

stroud

Did you know that Torquay's record victory was against us 9-0 Div.3 (S) 8th March 1952.

So there.

Roberts!

Must be!

 Well Torquay had two Collins's in 55...and we've got one now, so thaty's a fucking coincidence if its wrong.

Your all wrong.

In 54-55, Torquay had two Jack Smiths, one a full back signed from Plymouth, another a left winger from Liverpool.

McDermott?

Nicholas?

It can't be fucking Comyn-Platt! Unless its a stupid trick!

I said Smith! :x

You said Geoff Smith and Dave!!!

I don't know any old footballers! I just picked 2 names at random!

bollocks im asking one

name 4 footballers that have appeared in 3 fa cup finals for 3 different teams?
one of them was over 3 decades

someone post another question

 Those two were in fact John Smiths......

dennis wise, millwall, chelsea and wimbledon?

 John Barnes is one....

 Dennis Wise another

thats one and thats the one that spans 3 decades wimbledon in eighties, chelsea in nineties and bnp in noughties

teddy sheringham?

forest, spurs, man utd

john barnes is correct, have to put your old memory boots  and google glasses for the other two

anything earlier than the 90's means i'm out of the running, reg will get 'em

Des Walker? Forest, Sheff Weds and.............................um, Inter Milan?

Pants, Sheff Weds and Forest both lost!

nope way back
off to watch football will check at half time

Harold Halse (Manchester United 1909, Aston Villa 1913 and Chelsea 1915), Ernie Taylor (Newcastle 1951, Blackpool 1953 and Manchester United 1958)

Thats off the top of my head :D

im not asking a question though.

yeovil wins

Here's one.....STFC have 9 players on the books, who have a brother, who either play or have played at league or at least prem reserve level, or a father who played league standard or better.

 Players and relations and some teams.

Jerel Ifil - Philip Ifil (Tottenham)

 Its a start.....Phil is currently on loan at Millwall and suspended  :|

Alan Reeves - David Reeves? No idea where he is playing now.

 That's 2 David was last seen at Scarborough...not sure he's there now, they seem crap.

Neale McDermott - Terry McDermott
David Stroud - Ken Stroud

 That's 4

Mills? Matthew and someone else?

aren't there the two henrys?

 There's shed loads of Mills, but none seem to be with us.

 Yes Johno.....Leigh henry and charlie Henry...that's 5

Jack and Tommy Smith

Rhys Evans?

Matthew mills use to play for us though didn't he? in the youth team...plays at the saints now.

Miglioranzi's dad played for some Brazilian team too

 In for 6..... current club for Tommy?

And Caton, and his dad the late Tommy (i think)

 Stef's pa played in the same Corinthians team as Roberto Rivelinho..

 7

Not sure about Tommy's current club.  Is it Sheff United?

Derby?

Fallon's dad managed NZ didn't he in the last world cup they qualified for.  Did he used to play?

  That's 8.....last is hardest....a bro never played league football, but reserve s at a big club.

 Yep.

I got something correct on this thread!! :P

Ashton Holgate. His brother played reserve football for Newcastle.  :roll:

 But the original question requires the players to be on the books at the moment.....if it was historical, there'd be maybe  ahundred.

Ian Woan?

 Ashton Gate Hole....played reserve football for the Shitheads.

The answer to the last is Sean Fallon....Rory's bro who was at Liverpool without playing for the first team.

 Nepotism anybody?

Ah, when abouts was that, Reg?

 Ask Rory.

You've no right to know that Reg. Give us an easy one please!

  Well this one's not perfectly formed, as there's an ongoing debate about one of the answers...but

   Who were the last players to score 3, 4, 5,  and 6 both for and against STFC in a proper competitive game.

Parkin last scored 3, Thorne last scored 4.  That's as far as my mind stretches for tonight, i'm shattered!

Charlie henry and don rogers?

 Parkin last scored 3....Thorne never scored 4

Duncan Shearer scored 4 against West Brom in the Rumbelows Cup.

For
3  Parkin v Wrexham 04/05
4  Shearer v Plymouth 91/92
5  Keith East  v Mansfield Town 65/66
6  Bown v Watford  14/15

You de man Yeovil.........goals against bit harder though :evil:

Against us is just within my records
(Only one man in the 2000's - Correction Lee Bradbury also did it - that's two)

Mark Robins scored 3 for Rotherham 2001?

There was no 4 goals against in the 2000's by one man.

how many did Andy Cole put past us in the 7-1?!

Not more than two

Harold Halse scored 6 against us for Man Utd in 1911.

 Indeed he did....but someone's done it since.

 I think Cole has only scored once v STFC....the goalscorers in that game were Beardsley 2 Lee 2 Watson 2 and Ruel Fox.

Oi Reg - Are you marking  :wink:

Last player to score 3 goals vs Swindon Town - Mark Robins for Rotherham in 2001

 That's your final answer then Northern? The previous thing was more like thinking aloud.

 I make it Robbins when at Rotherham also.

How far back are we talking, if it's too far I'll give up and stop thinking, safe in the knowledge I don't have a bloody clue, if it's recent I will waste more of my time trying to figure it out.

Cheers Reg  :)

I think the four goals is earlier than 1990 at least

We've suffer maulings by Bolton, Newcastle, Ipswich etc. but no more than 3 goals by anyone person.

What's our record defeat - that's bound to have one of them in...

 Good thinking....

Don't suppose that anyone has match report from the 1945 drubbing by Crystal Palace (CP 10-1 ST)  :soapy tit wank:

I'm out, Reg wins :surrender:

we scored a penalty thats all i know

I'm waving the white flag on this - give us the answers  Reg  :?

How do wave a white flag a la Mattboyslim?

What I did is preview reply then view more emotion things and click on the one I want, there is a vast array available.

Ah-Ha  :\/

Funky - Cheers

Yes Sonic it is.

One left.

That's it

Just Autoworld left

Autoworld is Chesterfield

Correct.

Who shall i nominate?

Ok Village.

Ok, give me some time :fishing:

I've got a quicky...what was unique about Jim Mitchell, who had one England cap v N Ireland in 1925?

He was an outfield player but played in goal during his one england appearance?

total guess.

Did he also play cricket?

My question is....

Who has saved a penalty for Man Utd AND scored a goal for Newcastle (not an own goal)?

 He played in goal, beccause he was a goalkeeper...nowt unique about that though.

 Also nothing to do with cricket.

was he Northern Irish?

 No English.

Andy Cole?   :?

Nope

Keith Gillespie?!

Nope

was it that long ago? just so we do have some sort of chance!

Within the past 5-10 years

which did he do first?

Man Utd first

Nicky Butt?

No

you haven't fucked up at typed newcastle instead of villa have you because then it would be Schmeichel

I had thought of that, same with Man Citeh

Nope, definately Man Ure and the Geordie Boys. I can tell this has you stumped 8)

For anyone interested............Jim Mitchell in 1925, was the only England goalkeeper to play whilst wearing spectacles.

Was the goal for newcastle in a real match or a testimonial or something gay like that?

This question's stumped me, how about Ronnie Johnsen?

Gillespie?

oooh I know it.

http://www.thanatopsic.org/losgal/european/honeymonster_fr.jpg

ah....bastard, had me thinking all day


Honey Monster....

someone else can do a question cos i'm crap and i'm going out soon

Ok, I'll do a question then.

Fill in the missing gap.

1979 Sunderland
1980 ???
1981 Villa.

Brooking

Correct, winning scorers in FA Cup finals.  :D

"And I scored that one with me head"

Didn't Brazil do it a couple of years before too?  (Allan Brazil).

Don't think so, he may have played in the 78 final but Roger Osbourne scored the winning goal, and then had to be subbed because the moment got to him!

Ok. seeing as janaage hasn't put a new question up I'll do another one.

Who are the 5 teams beginning with C that have won the FA Cup?

and can anybody say who my avatar is?

Chelsea for starters....umm thats it  :|

and....Coventry?

Carlisle??

Both correct, 3 more to go.

Wrong, sorry!

Chelsea
Coventry
Charlton
Cardiff

and a guess .. Old Corinthians count???

Is it Dave Peach?

Coventry, Clapham Rovers,  Chelsea, Charlton, Cardiff

Cardiff City (1927?)
Charlton?

Clapham?????

 :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:

used to live near there too!!

Little known fact ... I was at Sutton United (where I used to live) the day they beat Coventry in the cup! :beers:

Well done janaage, all 5, and good try fatbury and mattboy slim.

What was unusual about Rangers 7 - 1 victory against Dundee Utd and Manchester City's 7-1 victory over Barnsley, (I think from the same season)?

Good guess at Dave Peach, wrong though but played for Swindon in the same season as Peach signed if my memory serves me correct, and scored one of the most important goals that season (I think!).

[quote)

and can anybody say who my avatar is?[/quote]

Billy Tucker?

They were all different scorers?

Nope, that's not the answer I'm looking for (I don't believe it's correct either)

Billy Tucker?[/quote]

Correct  :beers:

I'm pretty sure he scored the equalizer at Arsenal in the 79 League Cup quarter final with 5 minutes to go, I could be wrong though.

Goaless at Half Time? Is it unusual or unique?

goals were split evenly...4 in each half ?!?!

All scorers were different nationality?

both losing sides were 1-0 up?

Not sure if it's unique, it's more erm, unusual i think.

He sure did
I was there and remember it well
Coach driver got lost on the way to the ground and we thought we'd never get there on time.....

Nope, nope, nope and nope.

more than one person got a hat trick for the team scoring 7?

Both Winning teams had a man sent off?

Was that the league cup match man city v Barnsley from last season, or from the ill fated barnsley premiership season?

it was the League cup game i think.  Willo Flood scored.

That would have been a nightmare to have missed that.

How could he get lost getting to Highbury!

midfielders scoring hat tricks?

I know the answer but I cheated by looking it up so I'm not going to post it.

Two hatricks for one team in the same match?

From the league cup I do believe.

Bedford was it a shit question, do you think it's kinda weird more than unique or unusual?

Don't think it's a shit question. If i've got it right! I would guess there's a fair chance it's unique anyway.

I have got it, but i researched, it wasn't knowledge that got me there.


Good question.

Someone post the answer, come on who's the glory boy?

I don't mind if you looked it up go for it!  The more full an answer the better.

Nick Colgan let in the 7 goals both times, and Ronald Waterrus was the winning goalie both times.

I'll let DB put the answer up.

Here's a nice one for a friday afternoon...

What was used in the 1973 FA Cup Final and never used again?

That's a good question to which I have no idea to the answer at the moment.

That was Sunderland 1 Leeds 0 wasn't it when Montgomery made the double save from Lorimer?

I know that one - an orange ball!

Correct!

What is the youngest club in the Scottish Football Leagues?  At only three years old.

Gretna?

Incorrect, I knew someone would say that.  I'm talking year formed, not year accepted into the league.

Ok then, how about Airdrie United?

Yep, formed in 2002, after the demise of Airdrieonians.

And poor old Clydebank ceased to exist I believe as Airdrie United brought their place in the league.

Q) Who is Swindon's most capped player, how many caps did he win whilst playing for Swindon and which country did he play for?

Rod Thomas 43 Wales, really not sure about the 43 though!

His mymates uncle is Rod.

Correct Wrong Correct in that sequence.

41?

It was 30, thought  i might as well put that up otherwise people could be guessing numbers for ever.

I could be well out mate!!  40 something seemed to be in my head.  No doubt Reg the Font will be able to let us know.

I looked on a swindon site (so this should be right) which said he won 50 caps in total, 30 whilst he was at Swindon.

 Rod got 30 of his 50 caps at STFC....used to drink sometimes in his pub at Foston's Ash.....he kept all the caps..shirt swops and league cup and Derby league title stuff in a display cabinet in the pub.

 Guess he's been out of there for maybe 8 or 9 years now.

 Foston's Ash is the midle of nowhere.

I knew the 7-1 answer! :evil:

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: Well done Sonic, you got my trick question! :D
