2. Wolves (mid 80's), Swansea (early 80's), Bristol City (late 70's), Northampton (mid to late 60s), Swindon, possibly (mid to late 90s - they miay have only fallen to the second dicision, though).

 

3. Julio Iglesias, indeedy.

 

I can't even remember the other questions - back to those later.

[trevinho]

I may have the number for the Real Madrid one wrong. I am a retard.

 

Also, thinking about it logically, number 1 must be Arsenal v Everton. Unless there's a "trick" aspect to it, and I rather suspect that there is.

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

Didn't the drummer in Bros once play in goal for Real Madrid in a Spanish Cup tie against Malaga!

 

I'd go for Everton v Arsenal as well

 

And I can't remember the rest!

[mdetaylor]

1 - Half right and there is not a trick

 

2 - In the Eighties, Bristol City and Wolves both managed to travel from the First to the Fourth Division in consecutive seasons (via the picturesque route of the official receiver's office).

City had enjoyed top-flight football for four seasons but upon finally succumbing to relegation went into a tailspin that saw them reach the very bottom of the pile (ie: 92nd place) within two years.

The decline of Wolves was slightly less abject: they didn't actually hit the bottom as they plummeted from the First to the Fourth between seasons 1983-4 and 1985-6.

 

3 - Come on try harder

 

4 -Correct

 

5 -Correct

1. Aston Villa v Everton (longest serving members of first division).

 

2. I was going to say Wolves!!

 

3. Welshman is Mark Hughes.

 

 

My question: Which Irishman famously got yellow-carded for blowing a trumpet on the pitch?

 

[mdetaylor]

1 - correct

 

3 - correct

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Mark Hateley was at Rangers and AC Milan who've both won European Cups (I think!) - was he at a third?? Or what about Paul Elliot??

 

Or am I making this more difficult than it really is??

[Colin Zeal EFM]

PAUL INCE!!!???

 

Liverpool, Man Utd and the European team he was at!!

[Rob_the_Saint]

David Platt? Villa, Juventus and, er, Forest, I think.

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Is there only one of each, or are there a few??

[mdetaylor]

Not ones that I had - not sure about Hately (Rangers have never won the European Cup)

 

Ince? Not sure Inter have won it

 

Scottish - Bad player bad pundit - Bayern Munich

 

Irish - played for French fallen giants

 

English - had a problem with money (too much)

also someone who played for 4 clubs that have one it

 

[none of them have actually got their hands on it]

[mdetaylor]

David Platt is the one with 4

 

Man United, Villa, Juventus and Forrest

[Colin Zeal EFM]

When was David Platt at United??

[Colin Zeal EFM]

RE: PAUL INCE

 

Inter won the European Cup in 1964 and 1965

[ESG]

Platt was a youth team player

[mdetaylor]

Indeed - and I think in the Beardsley mould played once or twice for the first team.

 

Inter I bow to your greater Knowledge.

 

So we have Hughes, Ince and Platt

 

we still need

 

England - played for Liverpool, Forest and Villa

 

Ireland - Marseille, Celtic and Villa

 

Scot - Celtic, Villa and Bayern

 

Athough I am now having doubts that Celtic have won the European cup - I stand to be corrected

[Rob_the_Saint]

Celtic won the European Cup in about 1963, the first UK club to win it.

 

The Scot must have been McInally, I can't think of any others who played for Bayern.

 

Still thinking about the other two.

 

How are you getting on with my bugle question?

[mdetaylor]

Correct

 

I'm thinking about the bugle

 

I can only think of Gazza and his flute (not Irish)
