Here is one for you . It kept us guessing hours in work today

Which international player scored ten goals in his native country before being signed by a top Premiership side but only netted once after his arrival?_ He was then sold on to another European side where he failed to score at all (although he did get one for his country during his spell at this club) before being purchased by a different Premiership side where he only managed to find the net once._ He was then off-loaded to his third English team, where he failed to score at all. Who is he?

I heard somewhere (it's probably apocryphal tho) that Notts County don't have to because they are the oldest surviving professional club in the world. Don't know about the second one tho.

I think this was Matt Busby or some other guy that went on to manage Man U
