Trivia Thread

[SincereTheRebel]

Yes?

[Pleb]

Maybe.

[Weaver]

Couldn't confirm nor deny.

[phonics]

I can't find the proper thread

https://www.worldstoughesteurofootballquiz.com/

[Giggles]

Can you play without Facebook?

[phonics]

Nah, it's a Unibet thing where they're giving 500 quid to first place and a bunch of Euro 2016 tickets to others so they've got to get something out of it and they want that juicy, juicy user data.

[Reg]

Let's have some trivia, Sincere. :thbup:

[Jimmy Floyd]

I'll do one.

A Tottenham player was the last player to do this, in 2000. It has only happened 8 times in history, and 6 of these occasions came in the 1990s. Only one player has done it twice, and only one African has done it. It won't be happening in 2016.

What is it?

[Lewis]

Signed into their AOL account.

[SincereTheRebel]

Nominated for the top three ballon d'or spots?

Wild guess

I dont think that is correct.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Nope. Bump. One of you bored fucks should get this. It's actually a great question, if I say so myself.

If you want a clue, the only African to do it was from Morocco.

[Disco]

Is the Moroccan either Chippo or Hadji?

[SincereTheRebel]

They never played for tottenham. Mido played for tottenham though. Dont know what he did though.

[CJay]

Tough one.

Is it specific to a league or tournament?

[wullie]

It doesn't specify the Moroccan is the Tottenham player I don't think.

[CJay]

They never played for tottenham. Mido played for tottenham though. Dont know what he did though.

They don't have to have played for Tottenham, it's just that a Tottenham player was the last to do whatever it was.

[SincereTheRebel]

Pardon me.

No idea about this one. Im thinking it may have something to do with the euros coming up, but africans are not even qualified.

[wullie]

To help, all Moroccan players are as follows: Hadji, Chippo, Safri, El-Idrissi, some other lads

[CJay]

Tahar El-Khalej was about in the 90s. He did something remarkable didn't he?

Hmm maybe not.

[SincereTheRebel]

There was that southampton morrocon with the red boots. He also had time at wolves. Not sure if his name has been mentioned.

[Disco]

I thought about club/country captains but it's a long shot.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Since none of you are anywhere near I'll confirm the Moroccan is Chippo.

[phonics]

I genuinely thought that Chippo was a slightly racist name that Wullie had invented, the scamp that he is.

[Disco]

Is it Olympic Games related?

[SincereTheRebel]

Score in a world cup, olympic games and premier league?

[Jimmy Floyd]

No.

Next clue: Of the seven people to have done it, Youssef Chippo is by far the most unlikely person to have done it.

[Disco]

Scoring against someone in particular? He only got a few.

[Jimmy Floyd]

A tad warmer. Not overly so.

Six of the seven would have grown up dreaming about achieving this feat. Not Chippo.

[wullie]

I would have said signing for Coventry, but Chippo definitely grew up watching the donkey kick and the brown kit.

[Disco]

Playing alongside Paul Telfer?

[Jimmy Floyd]

This is going to take a while, isn't it.

Since the match when this was last achieved, in 2000, there have only been two further matches when it could have been achieved, but wasn't. The earliest it could theoretically next happen is 2018.

[CJay]

I'm looking through the Tottenham squad trying to think. It's a very unremarkable group of players.

[phonics]

Scored on the 29th February.

[Disco]

Not exactly the stuff of dreams.

[igor_balis]

Thought same as phonics but don't think chippo played a game on that day

[Disco]

Is it scoring the winner against the current Champions League holders?

[Jimmy Floyd]

No.

Two of the seven people to have achieved this are cousins.

[wullie]

So is Les Ferdinand the Spurs player from 2000?

[Jimmy Floyd]

He is not.

I'll spell out the seven:

Youssef Chippo
Cousin 1
Cousin 2
Someone who did it twice
Someone who played for Spurs when they achieved it in 2000
Person 6
Person 7

Person 7 you will not have heard of, but it doesn't really matter in the context of the question.

[wullie]

Balls.

[-james-]

Scored for Norway at a major tournament?

[Jimmy Floyd]

Scored for Norway at a major tournament?

Bingo.

[phonics]

Shite.

[Pen]

Chippo scored an own goal against Norway in France '98, and that's pretty much how far I got as I can't seem to link that to a Spurs player from the year of our lord 2000.

edit: Too slow and shit with my googling

[wullie]

I was looking at Steffen Iversen and Euro 2000 but never thought Norway was the specific link. Arse.

[igor_balis]

That was a beauty of a question, good work.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Friday afternoon edition.

There is a link shared by this set of clubs. Can you name the link, and the four missing clubs?

(ENG)
(ESP)
(ESP)
(FRA) Marseille
(FRA) Monaco
(FRA) Nantes
(ITA)

There is also a debatable 'bonus' answer but I won't reveal the country of that club.

[SincereTheRebel]

Won a league title in every decade. So in the 50s, 60s, 70s, etc?

[Pen]

Last winners of some old cups like the Anglo-Italian one.

edit: Or the first winners of new competitions as Marseille were the ones to win the new Champions league.

[Jimmy Floyd]

No, but the latter competition is relevant.

[Pen]

It could be the first winners as Marseille won the first league 1 title as well as the first new UCL, Nantes the first League cup meaning that Monaco have probably won something first too, but as it isn't the French cup I can't think of what it would be.

[John]

The existence of a 'bonus answer' would suggest that those clubs are the only ones who've done whatever it is that links them, so being the first winners of things is probably out.

I was thinking along the lines of European clubs for whom the World Cup winning captain was playing at the time, or clubs formed as an amalgam of other clubs, but the Champion's League being in any way relevant has killed both of those notions.

Marseille were relegated the year after they won the Champion's League, if that knocks anything loose for anyone.

[Pen]

If UCL is relevant, maybe getting through the group stage on first go?

edit: There must be more teams that have done that though.

[SincereTheRebel]

Won the chnapiobs league but they got relegated?

[phonics]

It's something to do with match-fixing no?

[Jimmy Floyd]

Sincere is closest, but not quite there.

[John]

Monaco were relegated after having been in the final, Juventus were relegated not long after that one they lost to Milan, and Marseille obviously fit the bill there too.

Have Nantes ever played in a European final?

[phonics]

Yep.

Won a European Cup and then not given the right to defend it?

[Jimmy Floyd]

Juventus is the Italian club, but you're still not spot on with the link - 2x Spanish and an English club also fit.

[Pen]

They had won some tinpot competition that no longer exists in the eighties. I was looking to had they won anything when I thought it would've been the first winners of something.

edit: Re: Nantes

[Pen]

Could it be going down after winning the domestic league? That would fit at least Marseille, Juventus and Atletico I think.

[bruhnaldo]

Aston Villa have won a European Cup and have been relegated.
But then so have Nottingham Forest.

Just spitballing here.

[bruhnaldo]

English teams that have won the European Cup:

Man United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest

English teams that have played in a European Cup Final:

Man United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest, Arsenal, Leeds


Leeds have played in a Final and been relegated.

Again, just throwing things around.

Edit: Leeds won the league and went to the Final in '74 and then finished 9th the next year.

I'll go with Leeds, the link being going to the Final, losing, and failing to qualify for the tournament the next year.

Edit2: I'd also throw in Atletico Madrid as one of the Spanish teams then (going to european cup final and failing to qualify the next season)

Edit3: and I'll say Barcelona for the other, and if not them than Real.

[John]

If the 'debatable' answer is Rangers and you, Floyd, are allowing some 'NewCo' wank to sneak in here I'm revoking your Blues Brothers membership.

[Jimmy Floyd]

You're all very close and the debatable answer IS Rangers, but not for that reason.

Leeds is the English team but not for that reason. Barcelona and Atletico are wrong.

[bruhnaldo]

Damnit to hell. Thanks Jimmy.

Edit:

(ENG) Leeds
(ESP)
(ESP)
(FRA) Marseille
(FRA) Monaco
(FRA) Nantes
(ITA) Juventus


I know Deportivo has played in the CL .. hmm. Sevilla... . Valencia have been.

Oooh what about Malaga? Didn't they qualify and then get relegated? I know that's not the exact link but it seems to be on the right path.

Edit: ooooh! How about teams that have qualified for the Champions League within 5 seasons of being promoted to their country's top division?

edit2: No, cause then Leicester City would also qualify. FUCK.

[John]

Sides who have gone to European finals on goal difference wins, with Rangers being debatable because they should have gone in place of the cheating shits Marseille?

EDIT - Nope. Monaco fucked Chelsea to get there and there must be plenty more than that who've gone through on goal difference.

[Pen]

Unless 'cup of the Alps' counts that rules out Nantes.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Sides who have gone to European finals on goal difference wins, with Rangers being debatable because they should have gone in place of the cheating shits Marseille?

That is the Rangers season in question, but that is not why it is debatable for this link.

[bruhnaldo]

Did they beat the holders and then fail to qualify the next year?

edit: You can ignore me I'm just throwing shit against the wall at this point.

[SincereTheRebel]

Can you name the 12 different players who have got at least 10 goals and 10 assists in the league from the premier league, bundlesliga, ligue 1, la liga and serie a from the 2015/2016 season?

[wullie]

Mahrez has to be one

[SincereTheRebel]

Mahrez has to be one

He is, 17 goals and 11 assists.

[Boydy]

Ronaldo.

Bale?

EDIT: Wait, La Liga isn't in it.

[Reg]

Ibrahimovic
Pjanic
Muller

[wullie]

Payet, Dele Alli?

[SincereTheRebel]

Ronaldo.

Bale?

EDIT: Wait, La Liga isn't in it.

La liga is included. Forget to add it in.


Ibrahimovic
Pjanic
Muller


Payet, Dele Alli?

Payet needed one more goal to qualify. Ali needed one more assist.

[Boydy]

Messi. Suarez.

[SincereTheRebel]

Messi. Suarez.

..

[CJay]

Neymar
Griezmann
Douglas Costa
Reus

?

[SincereTheRebel]

Neymar
Griezmann
Douglas Costa
Reus

?

Remaining four players are from serie a, ligue 1 and bundlesliga.

Surprisngly, no bayern munich players make the list.

[ItalAussie]

Did we ever get to the bottom of Jimmy's question? I really want to know now. :D

[Mellberg]

I'd like to know the answer to that too.

[Pen]

I fucking hated that question Floyd asked. Wasted an hour trying to figure it out.

For Sincere's question: Morata or Dybala for Serie A, Di Maria for Ligue 1 and Aduriz or Alcacer for La Liga.

[SincereTheRebel]

I fucking hated that question Floyd asked. Wasted an hour trying to figure it out.

For Sincere's question: Morata or Dybala for Serie A, Di Maria for Ligue 1 and Aduriz or Alcacer for La Liga.

3 reamining. One from serie a and two from bundesliga

I gave up on the floyd question, but interested in the result.

[ItalAussie]

It's Nantes that's throwing me. They've barely played in Europe. They had a couple of years in the early 2000's, when they won the French Cup and League in consecutive years.

Assuming that list is chronological, it's a bit of a weird one. That or a domestic one, but it seems weird that a domestic question would be such a closed group.

[Pen]

Abyemang must be one of the Bundesliga boys.

edit: Hernandez or Bellarabi could be the other one.

edit2: If Abyemang didn't get ten assists, Micky Ryan probably did.

[ItalAussie]

Is Rangers being a bonus answer anything to do with the 1972 Super Cup win being listed as "unofficial"?

[SincereTheRebel]

I think it may have something to do with leicester, even though they are not part of the question.

Being champions after finishing in in lower than 10th the previous season
Being champions after being promoted within 5 years

[SincereTheRebel]

Abyemang must be one of the Bundesliga boys.

edit: Hernandez or Bellarabi could be the other one.

edit2: If Abyemang didn't get ten assists, Micky Ryan probably did.

Last two players are from Borussia M.Gladbach and Napoli

[Pen]

Higuain or hamsik for the Napoli player. No idea about the Mönchen Gladbach one.

[John]

Is Rangers being a bonus answer anything to do with the 1972 Super Cup win being listed as "unofficial"?

He said that the season in question was 92/93 for Rangers. We played both Leeds and Marseille in the Champions League that year and bought a player off Marseille, which can't be a coincidence.

[ItalAussie]

I think it may have something to do with leicester, even though they are not part of the question.

Being champions after finishing in in lower than 10th the previous season
Being champions after being promoted within 5 years
Nantes at least haven't been relegated as far as I checked, which went back to the mid-80's.

[P_3]

Higuain, Hamsik or Insigne for Serie A?

[Jimmy Floyd]

I'll put you all out of your misery. They are all Champions League (since the competition took up that name in 92/93) semi-finalists who were then subsequently relegated. So the Spanish clubs were Deportivo and Villarreal.

Rangers is a bonus answer because in 92/93 they finished high enough to be classed in the top 4 of that year's Champions League, but there weren't actually any semi-finals in that season.

[SincereTheRebel]

Higuain, Hamsik or Insigne for Serie A?

Last one was Raffael from Borussia M.Gladbach


40 G - 16 A - Luis Suárez - Barcelona
38 G - 13 A - Zlatan Ibrahimovic - Paris Saint Germain
35 G - 11 A - Cristiano Ronaldo - Real Madrid
26 G - 16 A - Lionel Messi - Barcelona
24 G - 12 A - Neymar - Barcelona
19 G - 10 A - Gareth Bake - Real Madrid
17 G - 11 A - Riyad Mahrez - Leicester
13 G - 10 A - Raffael - Borussia M.Gladbach
12 G - 10 A - Lorenzo Insigne - Napoli
11 G - 15 A - Henrikh Mkhitaryan - Bourssia Dortmund
10 G - 18 A - Ángel Di María - Paris Saint Germain
10 G - 12 A - Miralem Pjanic - Roma

[SincereTheRebel]

Good question jimmy

[P_3]

Gareth Bake
What a name. :drool:

[Pen]

When have Nantes reached the semifinal?

edit: '96 apparently

[ItalAussie]

Raymond Kopa
Eusebio
Toto Schillachi
Robin van Persie

What do they have in common? There are two other significantly less famous players in the list as well, who are omitted so as not to give it away.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Top scored at their only World Cup? Davor Suker might be another if so.

EDIT: Wrong, don't think Robin did so.

[ItalAussie]

Top scored at their only World Cup? Davor Suker might be another if so.

EDIT: Wrong, don't think Robin did so.

Kopa didn't either, I believe.

[wullie]

Penalty scorers in the third place match

[ItalAussie]

Bingo.

[SincereTheRebel]

Now that all the squads have been official announced, there are a total of five players who during the tournament, could reach or pass 100 caps for their country if they play. Can you name them?

As the maximum amount of games to play is 7, name the players who have between 93 and 99 caps.

[wullie]

De Rossi's got to be around that kind of mark.

[Boydy]

Aaron Hughes for Northern Ireland.

[SincereTheRebel]

De Rossi's got to be around that kind of mark.

Rossi has already reached 100


Aaron Hughes for Northern Ireland.

[Reg]

Iniesta
Pique

[SincereTheRebel]

Iniesta
Pique

Iniesta is on 107 and pique is 75

[SincereTheRebel]

Spain
Porutgal
Russia
Czech Republic

Teams of the players remaining.

[Vim]

Torres, Fabregas, Busquets?

[Weaver]

Cech
Berezutskiy, Akinfeev, Dzagoev, Kerzhakov

[SincereTheRebel]

Torres, Fabregas, Busquets?


Cech
Berezutskiy, Akinfeev, Dzagoev, Kerzhakov

...

[Baz]

It'll be Rosicky or Plasil, I guess.

[The Merse]

Spain - David Silva?
Portugal - Nani?
Czech Rep - Pretty sure Rosicky and Cech all have over a hundred caps and can't think of anyone else of their generation still there that might be just short, so perhaps one of them is below?

[The Merse]

It'll be Rosicky or Plasil, I guess.

Didn't realise Plasil was still knocking about - that's got to be a decent shout.

[SincereTheRebel]

It'll be Rosicky or Plasil, I guess.


Spain - David Silva?
Portugal - Nani?
Czech Rep - Pretty sure Rosicky and Cech all have over a hundred caps and can't think of anyone else of their generation still there that might be just short, so perhaps one of them is below?

99 - Aaron Hughes
97 - Jaroslav Plašil
96 - David Silva
94 - Nani
93 - Vasili Berezutski


Thats the five.

[Baz]

I don't think Berezutski will make it to 100 at Euro 2016.

[The Merse]

Stranger things and all that... Trianos Dellas has a winners medal to go with his Sheffield United memorabilia.

[SincereTheRebel]

There are a total of 552 players that have been called up to euro 2016. Can you name:

Every team who has 8 or more players at the tournament from the premier league, la liga, bundesliga and serie a
Every player from each of the teams

[Boydy]

Do you mean 8 or more from all of those leagues combined or 8 or more from each league?

[SincereTheRebel]

8 or more from each league. There are 9 teams in total that have 8 or more players at this years euro

[Jimmy Floyd]

Barcelona - Iniesta, Busquets, Pique, Alba, Bartra, Turan, Rakitic and I can't think of another but there surely must be one. Mathieu?

On first count I don't think Chelsea have more than six.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Totteringham Hotsplur: Dier, Alli, Walker, Chadli, Vertonghen, Davies, erm, Kane, Rose... Lloris.

[SincereTheRebel]

Barcelona - Iniesta, Busquets, Pique, Alba, Bartra, Turan, Rakitic and I can't think of another but there surely must be one. Mathieu?

update

[wullie]

Liverpool: Sturridge, Milner, Clyne, Henderson, Lallana, Lovren, Benteke, Mignolet, Origi, Can, Skrtel

[Weaver]

Juventus: Buffon, Evra, Chiellini, Bonucci, Barzagli, Lichtsteiner, Pogba, Zaza, Mandzukic, has Khedira been picked? And Morata too.

Going back to the last question and me guessing Russian players, CSKA Moscow must have quite a few - both Berezutskys, Ignashevich, Akinfeev, Wernbloom, a few other Russians? Shakhtar as well, but I can't think of any beyond Srna.

[Boydy]

Oh, I misunderstood. I thought it was like England have 8 or more from the Premiership etc. I see now.

[SincereTheRebel]

Liverpool: Sturridge, Milner, Clyne, Henderson, Lallana, Lovren, Benteke, Mignolet, Origi, Can, Skrtel


Juventus: Buffon, Evra, Chiellini, Bonucci, Barzagli, Lichtsteiner, Pogba, Zaza, Mandzukic, has Khedira been picked? And Morata too.


Juventus and Liverpool have the most players going with 12 each.



Going back to the last question and me guessing Russian players, CSKA Moscow must have quite a few - both Berezutskys, Ignashevich, Akinfeev, Wernbloom, a few other Russians? Shakhtar as well, but I can't think of any beyond Srna.


Akinfeev is the next highest russian with 86 caps. CSKA Moscow have 8 players going to the tournament but they are not in the premier league, bundesliga, la liga or serie a so they dont qualify. I deliberately left them out.

Joe Allen for Liverpool, De Rossi for Roma

[Reg]

Wasn't sure about Pjanic and Dzeko but just guessed Bosnia qualified with those two.

Is the other club Napoli?

[Weaver]

Atletico, maybe?

Oblak, Juanfran, Gabi, Koké, Niguez, Griezmann, Carrasco is seven, but I can't think of any more and I'm not sure all three from Gabi, Koké and Niguez got called up.

Dembele and Alderweireld for Spurs. Chadli missed the cut, I think.

[Reg]

I think just Koke did of those three.

Villarreal will have a few but not eight. Quite tricky this last club.

[SincereTheRebel]

Bosnia didnt qualify for euros and its not napoli, as they only have six players

not Atletico. They have four players

Danny Ward or Adam Bogdan for Liverpool's one. And Kevin Wimmer for Spurs.

Struggling with the others. I've went through all of the Man Utd players I can think of and I haven't a clue.

Jese and Isco for RM.

They were both cut were they not? Lucas Vasquez was the kid I was thinking of earlier.

Ah yeah, it was him, not Jese.

I would have thought Isco would make it but can't remember, they have roughly 19 of the best 20 midfielders in the world.

You swine. I was literally just posting that.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Vermaelen the other Barcelona.

ter Stegen for Barcelona/Germany.


Vermaelen the other Barcelona.

okoko

[SvN]

Has Kovacic been said yet?

[SincereTheRebel]

Has Kovacic been said yet?

Missign nations and clubs

Italy
Spain
Slovakia

Bayern Munich
Roma
Juventus

[Danny]

Thiago for the Bayern one?

[SincereTheRebel]

Thiago for the Bayern one?

yes

[Pen]

I googled the remaining two, and the Juve one is someone one might get, there's no chance anyone gets the Roma one without help.

[Reg]

Is the Roma one the striker Ponce? I don't know if he's European...

[Pen]

The Roma player I've never even heard of.

[Reg]

Zukanovic? (sp)

[Pen]

Not even close. The name sounds more Hungarian than Slovakian.

[wullie]

If it's a Slovakian it's that shit defender.

[Raoul Duke]

Is Lichsteiner the Slovakian guy? He's at Juve, I think

[Pen]

Lichtsteiner is Swiss.

[SincereTheRebel]

Missing players were Stefano Sturaro from jvuentus and Norbert Gyömbér the Slovakian. He is on loan from catania but he appeaered four times in the league for roma last season.

[wullie]

Half a point to me for the shit Slovakian defender.

[Pen]

I was thinking earlier if Ronaldo could become the first player to score in four different Euro Championships and stumbled upon the list of players who have done i t in three. Ronaldo is one, but can you name me the 5 others (one of the in this tournament too) who have done it?

[niko_cee]

Wazza?

[Raoul Duke]

Klose? Raul?

[The Merse]

Bergkamp definitely - he scored against Scotland in back to back Euro's (92 & 96) and I'm sure he appeared at 2000 too.
Kluivert - 96, 00, 04?
Henry - 2000 final I think? 04, 08 surely?
Nuno Gomes - didn't he just shit it up for two years between scoring at international tournaments?
Klose - see above, but shitting it up with clubs to a lesser extent and donning it in tournaments to a greater extent...

[The Merse]

Wazza?

Isn't he famed for not scoring at about 3 or 4 tournaments in a row?

[niko_cee]

Was Trezeguet and Wiltard in that 2000 final, wasn't it?

I've no idea on Waz the Spaz. He's just been around for ages and has scored in at least 1.

[The Merse]

It was actually yeah... But he must've had one at some point in those Euro's?

[Pen]

Henry and Nuno Gomes are both correct. Same years for them too 2000-2008. All others are wrong. Maybe Klose missed a tournament due to injury or something as you'd think he would've done it otherwise.

[Disco]

Ibrahimovic. Shearer?

[Pen]

No Englismen on the list at all unfortunately. Zlatan is the other current player and he has the chance to better his record of scoring at least two in 3 different tournaments.

[Pen]

Three more to go as it was Ronaldo and six others. One of them should be easy enough, but it gets a bit tricky after that.

[Raoul Duke]

Inzaghi?

[Pen]

Nope, not him either.

[Disco]

Zidane must have done a few.

[Disco]

Klinsmann?

[Raoul Duke]

Platini?

[Pen]

Only one EURO winner left and it isn't Zidane. I think all three have played in England during their careers.

edit: Klinsmann is correct 88-96. There's another Spurs great in the remaining two :D

[Disco]

Is it someone annoying like Milan Baros?

[Baz]

Played in England? Djorkaeff?

[Pen]

Well it's not Baros, but the Spurs player is known for never being that good. Baros shares some career similarities with the other one as well as a nationality.

[Raoul Duke]

Schweinstieger?

[Disco]

Smicer?

[Raoul Duke]

Helder Postiga?

[Pen]

Smicer 96-2004 is the Czech and now all we are missing is a relatively shit former Spurs striker.

edit: Yay, Postiga is the last one.

[SincereTheRebel]

Zlatan

[Disco]

Well there's hundreds of those.

[Pen]

Raoul got it. It's Postiga. latan was already said and correct Sincere.

You may have seen this article so dont cheat....

We must know how many goals?

[Chris]

17 Pele

28 Messi or Ronaldo
29 Messi or Ronaldo
34 Ibrahimovic

[Jimmy Floyd]

Is this in the world ever, English football...?

[Baz]

I assumed PL and was gonna do what Chris did only with Ruud/Thierry but then saw the number of goals bit.

[Danny]

Apologies, its just the Prem and the goals are a separate thing. You dont have to know both because that would be insane :D

1 point for person and 1 point for goals.

[-james-]

37, 38, 39 40 must be Giggs? And 30, 31, 32, 32, 34, 35, 36 Shearer?

[-james-]

Am I looking for goals scored by the time they're that age, or while they were that age?

[Danny]

At that age.

[Danny]

37, 38, 39 40 must be Giggs? And 30, 31, 32, 32, 34, 35, 36 Shearer?

Those Giggs guesses are wrong. Assuming that second 32 is meant to be 33. You have Shearer right for the ages 31, 33 and 35.

18 must be Michael Owen. 16 and 17 Rooney?

[Danny]

Yep, no, Yep.

[Disco]

Milner will be the 16yr old.

[Shindig]

Teddy Sherringham's got to be the 40.

[Raoul Duke]

Lampard has to be in there for the old-timers. He was still scoring pretty well until later on, no?

[Danny]

Milner will be the 16yr old.

Yep


Teddy Sherringham's got to be the 40.

Yep


Lampard has to be in there for the old-timers. He was still scoring pretty well until later on, no?

What age you reckon? Only reason I am doing it this way is because of repeats. Would make it way too easy!

[Disco]

Shearer must be about five of them, Fowler was pretty prolific in his late teens/early 20's.

[Raoul Duke]

What age you reckon? Only reason I am doing it this way is because of repeats. Would make it way too easy!

33 - he was still scoring regularly later on.

[Disco]

Sheringham for everything past 35 surely.

[John]

Kevin Phillips at whichever age he was when he had that bonkers season. Late twenties I reckon, I'll say twenty eight.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

29, 30 Ruud.

32, 34 Lampard.

[Danny]

33 - he was still scoring regularly later on.

Nailed it


Kevin Phillips at whichever age he was when he had that bonkers season. Late twenties I reckon, I'll say twenty eight.

He is one and thats close.


29, 30 Ruud.

32, 34 Lampard.

None of those


Sheringham for everything past 35 surely.

37 and 39

[Shindig]

Andy Cole. 22. Phillips might be 29.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Did Mark Hughes pop a few in at 38?

And how old was Ronaldo in his stupid season?

[Disco]

I should actually make a guess for Fowler, I'll go for 19, 20, and 21.

Who was the really old guy who played for Burnley recently? He might have got enough to be the one for 38.

[Reg]

Drogba 27/8?

[wullie]

I should actually make a guess for Fowler, I'll go for 19, 20, and 21.

Who was the really old guy who played for Burnley recently? He might have got enough to be the one for 38.

Graham Alexander?

[Baz]

23, 24, 25 = Torres

[Danny]

Andy Cole. 22. Phillips might be 29.

Yes and No.

No

[John]

Phillips must be twenty seven then.

[Offshore Toon]

24, 25 and 26 - Shearer at Blackburn?

[Reg]

van Nistelrooy 27?

[Pleb]

21 must be C.Ronaldo surely?

[John]

Harry Kane for twenty one?

[Danny]

Phillips must be twenty seven then.

So close


24, 25 and 26 - Shearer at Blackburn?

All correct


van Nistelrooy 27?

Nope


21 must be C.Ronaldo surely?

Nope


Harry Kane for twenty one?

Yep

[Danny]

I just noticed I told Offy he was correct on all the for Shearer but he wasnt. 26 was wrong, it was actually 23 but I am going to leave it up there anyway. 8 to get. 1 is a duplicate.

Some clues if you fancy them. Only a clue to their name though not the age.


1. Hey Bobby, whats french for vavavoom?
2. This man made an Impact in the MLS recently
3. This little man has a great season aside his big man partner.
4. When you share the your name with a user on TTH you know you have made it.
5. The assassination of this mans name sake caused quite a stir.
6. This tiny italian maestro backheeled his way into the blues fans hearts
7. This late bloomer will forever be a Gooner.

[Disco]

Henry, Zola, and Ian Wright are all in there then.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Hasselbaink, Les Ferdinand (?) and Drogba (could be Nigel Reo-Coker too I guess, the hero) too.

Not sure who the little man is.

[Shindig]

Craig Bellamy never scored that many.

[Disco]

I'm bored at home this afternoon so we're doing this.
