A Machiavellian 7 Question Quiz!

[brog]

Ok, once again trying to avoid questions where answers can be easily found in reference books. All questions refer to Hibs players. Some of these are pretty tough!!

1. This player had 10 wins, including 2 over England & 2 draws in his 1st 13 caps! Alan Rough

2. What links 12 April 2003 & 20 Sept 2008 & also ( but separately) 19 January 2002 & 30 July 2011? Deeks & Gaz 1st goals both times around.

3. Davie Shaw, Gordon Smith, ??, Pat Stanton, Jim Leighton. Who is missing, denoted by ?? Tommy Younger. Scotland captains while playing for Hibs

4. This player won 5 major trophies in 3 countries but more importantly appeared on TOTP twice in the same edition!! ( Try to avoid googling that!) Steve Archibald

5. Lawrie Reilly, ??, Colin Stein, Steven Fletcher, John McGinn. Who is missing, denoted by ?? Alex Scott, hat tricks for Scotland.

6. These 2 players are linked by an English Club & the dates, 23 February 1980 & 24 July 2011.

7. What links Andy Dow, Liam Miller, Stevie Crawford & Neil Orr? All signed from London clubs.

Good luck!

Correct, but as Crops said was in 82. I was expecting a Peter Marinello answer for the TOTP reference.

5. Alex Scott....hat tricks for Scotland?

Correct! Well done!

Correct!! Only lost to Czech in 1st 13 games. Drew with Argentina #13 & lost to Brazil #14. Some record!

[Conj]

Number 2, Derek Riordan and Gary O'Connor's first goals in two spells

I was thinking Laurie Reilly.

[Tomsk]

3 Tommy Younger - Scotland captain at Hibs.

[Pretty Boy]

I want to say number 3 has something to do with coaching at Aberdeen but I don't think Gordon Smith fits.

[brog]

Number 2, Derek Riordan and Gary O'Connor's first goals in two spells

Correct! Really well done!

[brog]

3 Tommy Younger - Scotland captain at Hibs.

Correct! They all captained Scotland while playing for Hibs.

[Hiber-nation]

I'll have a wild swing at no. 6 and say Peter Cormack and Matt Thornhill. Made their debuts for Hibs on these dates (2nd time around for Peter obviously) and both played for Nottingham Forest.

[Conj]

Correct! Really well done!

Google helped, although BBC and Soccerbase both had Fowler OG rather than O'Connor for one of them
