[David Holden]

 

 

Nope!

Magesh Panchanathan

[Yellow Bungle]

Wiljhelm Steinitz (Austrian) 1886 - 94

[David Holden]

He was the first world champion I agree, but that wasn't the question.

[Yellow Bungle]

Okay if you are being strict on the hemisphere definition (i.e the Greenwich meridien) then it would be Jose Capablanca (Cuba) 1921 - 27.

[David Holden]

I am being strict, because I didn't know there was a loose definition <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

 

Capablanca is correct!

[Yellow Bungle]

Ok, my question.

 

"One, two, three, four,..." but who, according to the song knew the score?

[cantos]

O'leary

[Yellow Bungle]

Nope, here's a clue

 

---- --- B------

 

Fill in the blanks

[Yellow Bungle]

No Half Man, Half Biscuit fans out there?

[cantos]

No sorry bungle

[Yellow Bungle]

The answer was John the Baptist.

 

Let's have a different question - how about last man to score in 2 World Cup Finals.

[Harry J Allstars]

Paul Breitner. 1974 against the Dutch and then in 1982 against Italy.

[Yellow Bungle]

Correct.

[Harry J Allstars]

This ones a little bit hard to explain but just go with it.

 

A club has had two players play for it, where the first name of the first guy is the last name of the second guy and the first name of the second guy is the last name of the first guy.

 

So for instance: Simon Martin is the first guy and Martin Simon is the second guy.

 

Name the club and the players. If you say a club, say "Slough Town", but don't name the players I won't be confirming it's correct unless you name the two players involved.

[Yellow Bungle]

John Collins & Collins John for Fulham.

[Harry J Allstars]

Correct.

[Yellow Bungle]

Okay, new question. When, and against whom, did England last play a full football international in yellow jerseys?
