Football quiz

[Cod Boy]

Hi I'm doing a football quiz for the local pub a week on Sunday. Does anyone have any potential questions I can use or recommend any decent websites.

Thanks.

Thanks.

I actually bought a box of football question quiz cards for a bit of fun on Christmas day, some great questions in it, far better than downloading and easy to use cards.

Scouse might get this one: What team were presented with losers medals in the 1992 FA cup final?

[Hibrandenburg]

Liverpool given the wrong medals after beating Sunderland.

[Pete]

Liverpool given the wrong medals after beating Sunderland.

Correct. Sorted out minutes later though. :agree:

I'm sure there'll be a way the OP could frame the question to beat the Googlers.

Rectified by the players themselves when they swapped medals on the pitch.

There was only 6 David's as David Batty only played 5 games that season so never took a medal so never 'won' the EPL

[Haymaker]

At that time they got a medal. Now you have to play 10 games IIRC. He refused a medal but officially won it.

Is it Henrik Larsson?

[Pretty Boy]

Sousa
Desailly

Is the correct 4. Larsson won the Champions League with Barcelona in 05/06, played for Man Utd in 06/07 but they didn't win the Champions League until the following season 07/08.

Nope, none that far back. Solskjaer was the earliest in '99, 5 since then.

[nellio]

Who is the only player to have scored hat-tricks in all divisions of English football (so currently named the Prem, Championship, league 1 and league 2), the league cup, the FA cup and also internationally.

I've also got a phenomenal one that no one ever gets (has been doing the rounds in South Wales for a number of years) but not sure I should post it as I cant be sure that the answer is 100% legitimate.

Haselbank

:agree:

Just one left to get.

I just looked up his wikipedia to see if I could get a good clue - I didn't know this, but he played for Greenock Morton on loan in January/February 2000 - 4 games, 2 goals. Doubt that helps at all, but I was quite surprised by it.

[nellio]

Robert Earnshaw? Pretty sure I have been asked this question before

Well done! Must be a fairly well known one that.

The other one is

"Who was the last Welsh speaking player to score a competitive game at the old Wembley stadium".

Warning in advance that I cant be sure the answer is 100% accurate as some have said it definitely is correct but someone told me once that it's nonsense.

Used to a bit of quizzing and have heard of this one too I think, don't want to spoil it but are we talking about a certain Argentinean player? I thought it was rubbish to be honest but who knows.

I almost replied to your answer to say you were right, before I realised you were answering another question!

Hat tricks after coming on as a sub-
Steven Naismith: Everton 3-1 Chelsea, 2015. ...
