Trivia Thread

[Trancemeister]

The two croats are Soldo and Zivkovic.

[SincereTheRebel]

Never would of got that. On Croat I can think of back then, is Boban

[The Merse]

Bollocks. I came in here to offer up Soldo which came to me during the match.

Should’ve got Zivkovic, I used to sign him on USM98 all the time.

Good answers.

[Manc]

Marcelo for CB.

It's been a while since this thread has been active, so let's start off small.

Nicolas Pepe was the 15th Ivorian to be sent off in the Premier League on Sunday - can you name the other 14?

Drogba is one of 3 Ivorians to have received multiple red cards.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Arouna Koné
Sol Bamba
Aruna Dindane
Cheikh Tioté
Emerse Faé

Kalou far too nice to be sent off.

Kalou far too nice to be sent off.

Sol Bamba did get famously sent off in the Championship for Cardiff, but never in the Prem.

[Max Power]

Correct, got himself sent off in the first half of the North London derby.

It's been over a year since this thread has been touched, so how about a question?

Last night, Aleksander Mitrovic took his tally to 24 league goals (in 23 games) so far this season. Can you name all 70 players who have managed to score at least 24 goals in a league season in the top 5 European leagues since the turn of the century?

(Since 2000/01 season, in the English, French, German, Italian and Spanish top division)

[Ian]

Messi, Ronaldo, Mbappe.

I'll get the tricky ones out the way, lads.

[thommo]

Cheers Ian, doing a lot of heavy lifting there.

Luca Toni
Rooney

[Ian]

Torres.
Did Kevin Phillips' come just before or just after that season?
Vardy.

[Spikey M]

Mark Noble.

[thommo]

Crespo
Forlan
Raul
Suarez
Salah
Cavani
Benzema
Aubameyang
Lewandowski
Surprisingly, Raul only managed it once, in the 2000/01 season.


Luca Toni
Rooney
Kane
Sterling
Sterling's best effort was 20 goals in 2019/20. Luca Toni did it across 2 different leagues, with Fiorentina and Bayern.


Torres.
Did Kevin Phillips' come just before or just after that season?
Vardy.
Kevin Phillips was the season before, with 30 Prem goals. Torres and Vardy have both only managed it once.


Mark Noble.
I'm sure you'll be surprised to learn that no, Noble has not managed the feat.

[CJay]

Cristiano Lucarelli

[CJay]

Van Nistelrooy
Henry
Higuain

[thommo]

Cristiano Lucarelli
Cracking shout, he was one of the answers I had earmarked as being tough to get. 24 goals for Livorno in 2004/05.


Van Nistelrooy
Henry
Higuain
Higuain managing 36 goals in one Serie A season is quite some feat.

[CJay]

I think Lucarelli was part of that weird Golden Shoe season where Alex (Fenerbahce) and Roy Makaay (there's an answer I think) were top challengers, hence why he always comes to mind.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Anelka
Berbatov.

[CJay]

Immobile
Mertens
Di Natale
Ibrahimovic
Quaglierella

Why do Serie A goalscorers stick in my head like this?

[Jimmy Floyd]

Diego Milito
Ailton
David Villa
Ciro Immobile

[Shindig]

Luca Toni
Alan Shearer
Did James Beattie have one mad year?

[thommo]

I think Lucarelli was part of that weird Golden Shoe season where Alex (Fenerbahce) and Roy Makaay (there's an answer I think) were top challengers, hence why he always comes to mind.
Makaay is indeed correct, 29 goals for Deportivo in 02/03.


Anelka
Berbatov.
Anelka's best was 19, Berbatov's was 21.


Immobile
Mertens
Di Natale
Ibrahimovic
Quaglierella

Why do Serie A goalscorers stick in my head like this?
Ibrahimovic is one of only 2 to have done it with 3 clubs, the other being Cristiano Ronaldo.


Diego Milito
Ailton
David Villa
Ciro Immobile
Ailton is another good answer, 28 goals for Werder Bremen.


Luca Toni
Alan Shearer
Did James Beattie have one mad year?
Beattie did, but he just misses out with 23 goals for Southampton in 02/03.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Van Persie
Tevez
Aguero
Mario Gomez.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Oh The Hunter :cool:

[Jimmy Floyd]

Mario Gomez
That bloke at Stuttgart (you know the one. Brazilian, naturalised)
Raul Tamudo
Djibril Cissé
Sonny Anderson

[Ian]

That bloke at Stuttgart (you know the one. Brazilian, naturalised)

Argh, what's this guy's name? I don't want to look it up but my feeble brain is failing me.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Argh, what's this guy's name? I don't want to look it up but my feeble brain is failing me.

One word, I think beginning with C. I've got Careca in my head but it's 20 years after him.

Gustavo something? Nah.

[CJay]

Grafite isn't that guy, but he is an answer.

Kuranyi?

I'm out of Italians unless Gilardino or Iaquinta did it.

[CJay]

And England and Man United's Greatest Ever Goalscorer Wayne Rooney of course.

[thommo]

Van Persie
Tevez
Aguero
Mario Gomez.
Tevez got close with 23 goals in 2009/10.


Oh The Hunter :cool:
Managed it once, with 29 goals in a season for Schalke.


Mario Gomez
That bloke at Stuttgart (you know the one. Brazilian, naturalised)
Raul Tamudo
Djibril Cissé
Sonny Anderson
I wont give you the name, but I can tell you he didn't manage it. Sonny Anderson surprisingly also never hit 24 in a league season.


Grafite isn't that guy, but he is an answer.

Kuranyi?

I'm out of Italians unless Gilardino or Iaquinta did it.

And England and Man United's Greatest Ever Goalscorer Wayne Rooney of course.
28 goals for Grafite in Wolfsburg's title winning season. Rooney is also correct but has been said.

In terms of Italians, there's a few more to get.

[CJay]

Darko Kovacevic?

How many are we on Thommo?

Rivaldo?

[Ian]

Kuranyi?

Damn you, I had just remembered this and opened the thread up to post it.

[Guybrush]

One word, I think beginning with C. I've got Careca in my head but it's 20 years after him.

Gustavo something? Nah.

Cacau.

[Spikey M]

Rivaldo
Ronaldinho
Batitstuta

[Spikey M]

Has Naymar somehow not been said?

[Ian]

Nay.


Batitstuta

:drool:

Batistuta in purple is one of those pure 90s images.

[CJay]

Did Hasselbaink get 24?

For some reason that just reminded me that Darren Bent did.

[Ian]

Michael Owen hasn't been said, he must've got close once or twice, shirley?

[CJay]

Michael Owen hasn't been said, he must've got close once or twice, shirley?

He never broke 20.

[Ian]

Useless twat.

I somehow got prime, plays-for-Liverpool Owen to United in one of the early 2000s CMs and he had a 50-goal season for me. :drool:

[CJay]

Griezmann
Trezeguet
Montella
Yaya Toure
Drogba
Kanoute
Ben Yedder
Haaland
Sutton
Luis Fabiano
Pauleta

Apologies for any duplicates. Think Africa / France will be a treasure trove here.

[Boydy]

Original Ronaldo?

[Jimmy Floyd]

Cacau.

I think I had merged him and Kuranyi into a single person.

Moussa Sow

[wullie]

Totti

[thommo]

Rivaldo
Ronaldinho
Batitstuta

Has Naymar somehow not been said?
He has only managed it once to be fair, with 24 goals for Barca in 15/16.


Did Hasselbaink get 24?

For some reason that just reminded me that Darren Bent did.
Hasselbaink didn't manage it in this timeframe - he scored 24 goals for Atletico in 1999/2000, and then scored 23 goals for Chelsea in each of the following two seasons.


Griezmann
Trezeguet
Montella
Yaya Toure
Drogba
Kanoute
Ben Yedder
Haaland
Sutton
Luis Fabiano
Pauleta

Apologies for any duplicates. Think Africa / France will be a treasure trove here.
Each of your correct answers managed it just the once.


Original Ronaldo?
Just the once for old, fat Ronaldo.


I think I had merged him and Kuranyi into a single person.

Moussa Sow
Sow hit 25 in Lille's title winning season.


Totti
Correct, 26 goals for Roma in 06/07.

[Spikey M]

Did Lukaku manage it at Inter?

[thommo]

Did Lukaku manage it at Inter?
He managed it at both Inter (24 last year) and Everton (25 in 16/17).

[Jimmy Floyd]

Shevchenko
Shabani Nonda
Mamadou Niang

[wullie]

Hubner
Pazzini
Miccoli

[Ian]

Blimey, Fabrizio Miccoli, there's one I'd not heard in a while.

Just looked him up and he finished up at some Maltese team I've never heard of.

[Spikey M]

Gareth Bale.

[Ian]

No, that wasn't it.

[Spikey M]

:D

[thommo]

Shevchenko
Shabani Nonda
Mamadou Niang
Nonda managing 26 for a Monaco side that missed out on the title is quite impressive.


Hubner
Pazzini
Miccoli
Bloody hell, when I compiled this list, I marked Dario Hubner down as probably the toughest answer to get, in the wullie zone of obscure knowledge, so it makes sense you'd be the one to get it right. He notched 24 goals for Piacenza in 2001/02.


Gareth Bale.
Bale's highest tally for a season was 21.

[Shindig]

Govou
Di Natale
Batistuta
Totti
Crespo

Shame Mario Jardel never got a big move.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Probably because he was big and didn't move.

Adebayor

[thommo]

Govou
Di Natale
Batistuta
Totti
Crespo

Shame Mario Jardel never got a big move.
Unfortunately, all 3 have been said already.


Probably because he was big and didn't move.

Adebayor
I was surprised to see him on the list, but he did manage 24 goals in 07/08.

20 players left to answer, only 1 of which hit the tally in the Prem.

[Shindig]

Peter Crouch
Kevin Nolan

[Spikey M]

I doubt he was ever prolific enough, but Tevez?

Outside chance of:
Scholes
Gerrard
Lampard

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Eto'o?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Haaland.

Edit: I see CJ has said it.

[Spikey M]

Diego Costa

[Spikey M]

Del Piero.
Christian Vieri.

[Danny]

I see Grafite has been said but didnt Dzeko do it the same season?

[wullie]

Klose
Pauleta

[Shindig]

Thomas Muller?

[thommo]

Peter Crouch
Kevin Nolan

I doubt he was ever prolific enough, but Tevez?

Outside chance of:
Scholes
Gerrard
Lampard
None of the above. Tevez got closest with 23 for City.


Eto'o?
The biggest name left on the list, he managed it in 3 different seasons for Barcelona (and came close at Inter Milan).


Diego Costa
Good call, scored 27 in Atletico's title winning season in 13/14.


Del Piero.
Christian Vieri.

I see Grafite has been said but didnt Dzeko do it the same season?
He did (26 goals), but he also hit 29 for Roma in 16/17.


Klose
Pauleta
Pauleta came close, with 20 goals in 3 consecutive seasons with Bordeaux.


Thomas Muller?

[thommo]

24 – Christian Vieri – Inter Milan – 2002/03

15 players still to get, a few of which did it on more than one occasion.

[Manc]

Giroud must have come close with Montpellier.

[thommo]

Giroud must have come close with Montpellier.

21 in the title-winning season. Didn't manage more than 16 in England.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Spain striker, made either their 2008 or 2010 tournament squad on the back of one very prolific season. Someone do the honours.

[Shindig]

Llorente?

[thommo]

Spain striker, made either their 2008 or 2010 tournament squad on the back of one very prolific season. Someone do the honours.

You've got the description down to a tee, but it's not Llorente, as Shindig suggests.

[CJay]

Geezer.

[Danny]

Guiza

[CJay]

Icardi

My ideas are really drying up now.

[Manc]

Quagliarella.

[CJay]

Falcao!

[Jimmy Floyd]

How many did Nicolas Pepe get in that mega season for Lille? And, on the subject of shit Arsenal players, Lacazette?

Aliadiere had a big season in France didn't he?

Was about to say Yaya Sanogo but I think that might be taking the theme a bit too far.

[Shindig]

Did Gnabry ever do mad numbers for Bayern?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Marco Reus
Vedad Ibisevic
Claudio Pizzaro
Stefan Kiessling.

[thommo]

Geezer.

Guiza
Correct, Daniel Guiza who went to the Euros on the back of a 27 goal campaign with Real Mallorca. He even scored in the semi final.


Quagliarella.
Correct, but been said already.


Icardi

My ideas are really drying up now.

Falcao!
Both Icardi and Falcao have done it twice.

[thommo]

How many did Nicolas Pepe get in that mega season for Lille? And, on the subject of shit Arsenal players, Lacazette?

Aliadiere had a big season in France didn't he?

Was about to say Yaya Sanogo but I think that might be taking the theme a bit too far.
Pepe managed 22 in his breakout season. Lacazette did it twice for Lyon with 27 and 28 goals.

Yaya Sanogo's best season in Ligue 1 saw him score 6 times. :D


Did Gnabry ever do mad numbers for Bayern?
Nothing higher than 12 in a season.


Marco Reus
Vedad Ibisevic
Claudio Pizzaro
Stefan Kiessling.
Good shout, a bit more of an obscure answer, Kießling scored 25 times for Bayer Leverkusen in 2012/13.

10 more players to get, all of whom have only hit the tally once. 1 player did it in the Prem, 1 in Ligue 1, 2 in Serie A, 2 in La Liga and 4 in the Bundesliga.

[Raoul Duke]

Morientes?

[Luca]

Pippo Inzaghi
Marco Di Vaio

[wullie]

Johnson
Stewart
Agbonlahor
Beattie
Sturridge
Ricketts
Borriello
Belotti

[Spikey M]

Viduka
Kewell
Zamora

[Shindig]

Kevin Kuranyi?

[CJay]

Did Gignac ever do it for Marseille?

[Max Power]

Alberto Gilardino?

[thommo]

Morientes?
Morientes didn't break 20 throughout his career, which I found surprising.


Pippo Inzaghi
Marco Di Vaio
Very good shout, Di Vaio scored 24 for Bologna in 08/09.


Johnson
Stewart
Agbonlahor
Beattie
Sturridge
Ricketts
Borriello
Belotti
I didn't realise Belotti had been scoring regularly for so long. He scored 26 for Torino in 16/17.


Viduka
Kewell
Zamora
Viduka got closest, with 20 for Leeds in 02/03.


Kevin Kuranyi?
Never got higher than 18 in a season.


Did Gignac ever do it for Marseille?
He never did it for Marseille, but did score 24 for Toulouse in 08/09.


Alberto Gilardino?
He got very close, scoring 23 in consecutive seasons for Parma.

7 left to get, with no more players remaining who did it in Ligue 1 or Serie A.

[CJay]

The La Liga random striker generator in my head has given me this surely exhaustive list:

Urzaiz
Aspas
Salva
Vicente
Mista
Xisco
Soldado
Nolito
Pedro
Vela
Zigic

[thommo]

The La Liga random striker generator in my head has given me this surely exhaustive list:

Urzaiz
Aspas
Salva
Vicente
Mista
Xisco
Soldado
Nolito
Pedro
Vela
Zigic
And you've got one of them - Soldado scored 24 in 12/13. Salva was also close to making the list, he scored 27 goals in 99/00 for Racing Santander.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Have we got Soldado? I'm sure he slotted home many a time before he was shit at Spurs.

EDIT: yes, we have.

[Max Power]

Aduriz?

[thommo]

Aduriz?
Only managed 20 goals once.

[Waffdon]

Gerard Moreno
Alvaro Negredo
Iago Aspas
Andre Silva
Kevin Volland
Lukas Podokski
Mario Mandzukic
Bas Dost
Anthony Modeste
Timo Werner

Werner and Silva both nearly got 30 in the league so they’re locks. Some of the others can’t be too far away

[CJay]

Can't think who this Prem player could be. Surely not someone at a big club.

Just noticed I guessed Chris Sutton a few pages back. :D

[Ian]

Can we get another updated list, Thomma?

[Waffdon]

Andrew Johnson?

[thommo]

Gerard Moreno
Alvaro Negredo
Iago Aspas
Andre Silva
Kevin Volland
Lukas Podokski
Mario Mandzukic
Bas Dost
Anthony Modeste
Timo Werner

Werner and Silva both nearly got 30 in the league so they’re locks. Some of the others can’t be too far away

Waff blows this wide open with 4 correct answers, and you're right - Werner (19/20) and Silva (20/21) hit 28 in the Bundesliga.

Just 2 left to get - 1 Prem and 1 Bundesliga.

[CJay]

Is it the piano playing maestro, Alexis Sanchez?

[Waffdon]

Honestly thought Aspas and Moreno would be the ones from Spain. Playing FUT helps with these things. Modeste had about 10 different special cards a few years back and same with Andre Silva last year.

Santa Cruz or Benny McCarthy for the PL? Trying to think back to watching all the Premier League years religiously

[Waffdon]

Is it the piano playing maestro, Alexis Sanchez?

Shout. Surely has to be him with the way Arsenal fans hyped him up

[CJay]

Lack of Bundesliga knowledge is costing me here. Who knocks in the goals for Gladbach and Leverkusen?

[Ian]

Or other older Bayern players.

Giovane Elber?

[thommo]

Is it the piano playing maestro, Alexis Sanchez?

Correct! Sanchez is the last Prem answer you were looking for, with 24 goals for Arsenal in 2016/17.

The Bundesliga player remaining is pretty obscure - one of the ones I had earmarked as being very tough to get.

[thommo]

Or other older Bayern players.

Giovane Elber?

He was close, with 21 goals in 02/03.

[CJay]

Can we get a rough era?

[thommo]

Can we get a rough era?

He managed it in the mid-2000s.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Martin Max
Boubacar Sanogo
Ewerthon
Ivan Klasnic

[Baz]

Patrick Helmes
Pizarro

[thommo]

Martin Max
Boubacar Sanogo
Ewerthon
Ivan Klasnic

Patrick Helmes
Pizarro
None of the above.

Martin Max's stats are quite peculiar. Had his best scoring season in the Bundesliga at the age of 35, scoring 20 for Hansa Rostock, and then retired in the summer.

[CJay]

I think we’ll need a big reveal Thommo. Unless a German lurker (Yeldoow?) is going to pop up with the answer soon.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I've looked it up and yeah, nah. I remember the name but it's not one that has survived the churn of history.

Not German, if anyone wants a clue.

[thommo]

Not German, managed the feat whilst playing for a newly promoted team, and was linked with some larger European clubs off the back of the season (04/05). His next highest season goal tally in the Bundesliga was only 6.

I'll leave it a little longer, and reveal later if no-one has a clue.

[wullie]

Having looked it up I'm not surprised it's the last answer left

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I don't think I've ever even heard of him before.

[CJay]

Yeah just checked it. That’s a name from the hazy mists of Goalissimo.

[Spikey M]

Nope. Never heard of him.

[thommo]

As you're all seemingly now aware, the final answer was Marek Mintal, who scored 24 goals for Nürnberg in 2004/05. After that season, he only managed 8 more Bundesliga goals in 87 appearances. He was very obscure, but then I thought the same about Dario Hübner and wullie was straight in with that answer.

Football-loving folk of the 90s are well-versed in Italian strikers thanks to Football Italia, I imagine.

Enjoyed that - thanks Thommo.

[Gray Fox]

Surprised to have not seen Haaland yet.

EDIT: you won’t when you’re a page back ffs.

[Spikey M]

That was a good one Thommo. Can we have another? Assists?

[Baz]

Reckon that 50 will ever be beaten?

[Jimmy Floyd]

Ron got 46 in the same season, talk about a piss take.

[thommo]

That was a good one Thommo. Can we have another? Assists?

I'll look into compiling another one for tomorrow if possible.

[Ian]

We've still got Jimmy's Christmas one to finish up too but could probably do with a list of what ones we've got right in there as Baz asked for.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I don't negotiate with terrorists.

[thommo]

We can save it for next Christmas and then you don't need to change the thread.

[thommo]

Sticking with the same central theme of a certain Aleksandar Mitrovic....

Mitrovic has scored 44 international goals for Serbia in 69 caps. Can you name the 34 players that have played in the Premier League who have an international goal tally equal or better than 44?

Incredibly, he's 2nd in the list with 70 international goals.

To think there was a time when we had him and Webleck just as backups. :(

He does have 46 international goals, but was on loan at Wolves when they were in the 1st Division.

It was all pretty lopsided too. 3 goals from his first 23 caps, then after the Switzerland goal he went on a run of 23/31 then went seven or eight games with nowt until he got a couple at Euro 2000 and peaced out.

Did he have many games against the San Marino's of the world to stat-pad against though?

[Shindig]

Nah, he got one against Luxembourg and one against Andorra. We didn't smash sides those days, to be honest.

EDIT: Sorry, he got a hat-trick against Luxembourg in a 6-0 win. :D

[John Arne]

Played Scotland a couple of times, too.

[Ian]

https://www.englandstats.com/player.php?pid=1040

There are teams there at the start who if we were better at the time he'd have probably scored more but as Shinners says there isn't an endless array of matches against plumbers and accountants for him to fill his boots against.

46 goals for Mexico, surprised Pepe didn't guess him along with Chicharito.

The player still in the league is in his 4th season in the division. The older player (the toughest answer to get) played a solitary appearance in the Prem 22 years ago.

[CJay]

Was sure I’d got it when I summoned the name Phil Masinga from the depths of my memory but seemingly not.

I would offer nationalities/clubs but I think it'd be too easy at that point.

Solitary game guy is rock solid. I know he played 2, maybe 3, but Luc Nilis.

Goal against Chelsea :drool:

[Mellberg]

Iranian. Think he was class on Champ and I had him at Villa. Played for Charlton. Can’t remember his name.

[John Arne]

Karim Bagheri. What a player he was.

[Max Power]

Andriy Yarmolenko?

[thommo]

Karim Bagheri. What a player he was.

Andriy Yarmolenko?

Good shouts from you both, with a little help from Mellin for Bagheri.

Bagheri is a weird one - 50 international goals in 87 caps, which is more than he scored in his entire club career. He scored 19 goals in one WC qualification campaign, although he was helped by having to play the Maldives twice, scoring 9 goals in 2 games against them (17-0 and 9-0 wins).

I would never have thought Yarmolenko to have scored that many international goals as he's not that prolific for West Ham, but he is level with Mitro with 44 goals for his country.

The full list is as follows:

115 – Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal)
70 – Stern John (Trinidad & Tobago)
68 – Robbie Keane (Republic of Ireland)
68 – Romelu Lukaku (Belgium)
65 – Didier Drogba (Ivory Coast)
65 – Luis Suarez (Uruguay)
62 – Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Sweden)
60 – Edin Dzeko (Bosnia & Herzegovina)
57 – Clint Dempsey (USA)
57 – Landon Donovan (USA)
56 – Samuel Eto’o (Cameroon)
53 – Edinson Cavani (Uruguay)
53 – Wayne Rooney (England)
52 – Javier Hernandez (Mexico)
52 – Jon Dahl Tomasson (Denmark)
51 – Asamoah Gyan (Ghana)
51 – Thierry Henry (France)
51 – Hakan Sukur (Turkey)
50 – Karim Bagheri (Iran)
50 – Tim Cahill (Australia)
50 – Shinji Okazaki (Japan)
50 – Robin van Persie (Netherlands)
49 – Lukas Podolski (Germany)
48 – Dimitar Berbatov (Bulgaria)

46 – Alexis Sanchez (Chile)
45 – Mohamed Salah (Egypt)
45 – Davor Suker (Croatia)
45 – Paulo Wanchope (Costa Rica)
44 – Andriy Yarmolenko (Ukraine)

[SvN]

Never heard of Karim Bagheri, but that international scoring record is ridiculous for a defensive midfielder.

[Jimmy Floyd]

50 goals. Even more impressive when you consider 24 of them weren't against Nepal, Sri Lanka, Guam, Kyrgyzstan or the Maldives.

17/20


Got the wrong dos Santos that was at Spurs, was sure Ravel Morrison had made a league appearance for United so got that wrong, and barely recall the existence of the guy in #20

[Waffdon]

17/20 as well

Had no idea about the Babayaro question as well as the Feyenoord hero question but somehow lucked out for the latter. Got the wrong Dos Santos and stupidly put Candreva when in retrospect it obviously wasn’t him.

[Boydy]

17/20 as well. Some were lucky guesses but a lot of it was those countless hours on CM/FM in the early to mid noughties.

[Jimmy Floyd]

20/20, only briefly wavered on one. Autism central.

[Pepe]

14 of 20. Guessed on at least 70% of those.

[Danny]

Same as Jimmy.

Van Bommel and Cocu almost had me.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

17 guessed on a lot though.

[thommo]

19/20. Question 2 got me, I saw a name and jumped to a (wrong) conclusion.

[Dave.]

19 for me too. Number 9 wrong, got the correct answer's youth team wrong. Quite a few could be done by process of elimination.

[Shindig]

18/20. Surprised I scored that high, to be honest.

Missed out on two Dutchmen and almost missed out on another because I thought they made their name at Leverkusen.

[Ben]

20. Had to guess the Croatian one “that was once tipped for great things” but this sort of thing is right up my street.

[wullie]

20, last one was a punt but was confident in the rest.

[Pen]

20. Had to guess the Croatian one “that was once tipped for great things” but this sort of thing is right up my street.

Same.

[igor_balis]

15, not terrible, though there were absolutely loads of ex Albion players in there. Was actually on Borja Valero's Wikipedia page a couple of hours ago, was clearly world class but was made to play alongside players similarly useless defensively but much worse going forward like Jonathan Greening as we finished bottom with about twenty points, before he demanded a transfer back to Spain rather than playing in the championship. Still gutted that Tony Mowbray didn't believe in the concept of defensive midfielders, the guy could have been...uh, I dunno. Better than James Morrison and Chris Brunt anyway.

Which Premier League club did the current Argentina manager play 16 games for in 2006?

[Shindig]

West Ham.

Scaloni is one of seven Argentines to play for West Ham in the Premier League. Name the other six.

[Pen]

Tevez, Mascherano,

Edit: whoops. West Ham only 😄

[CJay]

Lanzini

And Zabaleta

There must be some completely useless striker they’ve spent big on in the missing two, but I’m drawing a blank.

Mauro Zarate.

[CJay]

Mauro Zarate.

Just looked it up - the final answer is far more obscure than Zarate. A classic single terrible season from a player with a 1-in-3 scoring rate in his career.

Couldn’t have told you he ever played in the premier league. Only a die hard West Ham fan would get it probably.

Jonathan Calleri

[Manc]

Bump.

Only four players have won back-to-back Champions League titles with different clubs. Name them.

There are two further players who appeared in back-to-back Champions League finals for different clubs, winning one and losing the other. Name them.

[Shindig]

Did Cristiano Ronaldo make the final in his first year at Juve?

[Jimmy Floyd]

Thiago Silva is one.

[Manc]

Correct.

[Raoul Duke]

Kaka? Real / Milan

[Manc]

No dice.

[Ben]

Coman? Morata?

[Manc]

Morata is correct.

Nick Pope received his first Premier League red card last weekend. Can you name the 12 goalkeepers who have received multiple Premier League red cards?

For a tougher test, can you also name the 42 goalkeepers who, like Nick Pope, have received just the one red card in the Prem?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Jussi Jaaskelainen has the record I believe.
