So... who was the first Edinburgh club to be humped 7-0 at home by the first British club to reach the semi finals of the European Cup? :greengrin

EDIT... heavily edited, as I have memories of Burnley and Dundee (also a EC semi-finalist) also putting 7 past them at T*nie.

The basic compulsory equipment of a player is:

a jersey or shirt
shorts - if thermal undershorts are worn, they are of the same main colour as the shorts
stockings
shinguards
footwear

3 questions regarding names.

1. A Scotland v. Wales match, a welsh player and a scottish player whose names were the reverse of each other (for example Bobby Jones and Jones Bobby).

2. Two Fulham players whose names are the reverse of each other (same idea as above)

3. In the 70s / 80s a Scotland goalie and right back with the same name

It was only a couple of seasons ago.

Brechin City won their cup tie but were then expelled from the competition for fielding two ineligible players. Later that season they played Queens Park at Hampden in the league :wink:

The only team not to lose a game in the 1974 world cup?

Scotland - two draws and a win.

Who came on as a second half sub against Rangers at Ibrox in 2005 and scored a hat trick in 20 minutes? :greengrin
