Ooft, Jon Dahl Tomasson. Hell of a shout, Sincey.
Ooft, Jon Dahl Tomasson. Hell of a shout, Sincey.
Solitary game guy is rock solid. I know he played 2, maybe 3, but Luc Nilis.
Goal against Chelsea![]()
Iranian. Think he was class on Champ and I had him at Villa. Played for Charlton. Can’t remember his name.
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 Etoo (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)
48 Harry Kane (England)
48 Andriy Shevchenko (Ukraine)
47 Jόrgen Klinsmann (Germany)
46 Jared Borghetti (Mexico)
46 Olivier Giroud (France)
46 Alexis Sanchez (Chile)
45 Mohamed Salah (Egypt)
45 Davor Suker (Croatia)
45 Paulo Wanchope (Costa Rica)
44 Andriy Yarmolenko (Ukraine)
Never heard of Karim Bagheri, but that international scoring record is ridiculous for a defensive midfielder.
50 goals. Even more impressive when you consider 24 of them weren't against Nepal, Sri Lanka, Guam, Kyrgyzstan or the Maldives.

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.
20/20, only briefly wavered on one. Autism central.
14 of 20. Guessed on at least 70% of those.
Same as Jimmy.
Van Bommel and Cocu almost had me.
17 guessed on a lot though.
19/20. Question 2 got me, I saw a name and jumped to a (wrong) conclusion.
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.
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.
20. Had to guess the Croatian one that was once tipped for great things but this sort of thing is right up my street.
20, last one was a punt but was confident in the rest.
15, not terrible, though there were absolutely loads of ex Albion players in there. Was actually onToggle Spoiler'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?
West Ham.
Scaloni is one of seven Argentines to play for West Ham in the Premier League. Name the other six.
Tevez, Mascherano,
Edit: whoops. West Ham only 😄
Lanzini
And Zabaleta
There must be some completely useless striker theyve spent big on in the missing two, but Im drawing a blank.
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.
Couldnt have told you he ever played in the premier league. Only a die hard West Ham fan would get it probably.

Bump.
Only four players have won back-to-back Champions League titles with different clubs. Name them.
Seedorf
Pique
Eto'o
Eto’o for sure.
I'm a twit
Deco
Alaba
I'm a twit
Ibrahimovic?
Pique, Eto'o & Desailly are all correct.
Paulo Sousa![]()
Bingo.
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.
Did Cristiano Ronaldo make the final in his first year at Juve?
Thiago Silva is one.
Kaka? Real / Milan
Coman? Morata?
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?
Jussi Jaaskelainen has the record I believe.
