Nearly, have another count.

DDC1990

29

4 to make the pitch.
1 for the Halfway line.
12 for the penalty areas.

Then the 12 lines to make the three technical area's, Team A, Team B and 4th official?

Charisteas

Ah forgot to count the line going through the middle, 25?

That is 4 around the edge, 3 around each penalty box, 3 around each 6 yard box, and 8 small lines to mark nearest distance that opponent can stand when taking a corner.

Not to be pedantic, but they are optional.

Great thread. Can I jump on board with this one:

Sunderland did it in '79,
Villa did it in '81,

but who did (what) in '80?

Caveman1

Which two players have both scored away Premier League hat-tricks twice at the same ground?

5starpool

Suarez at Carrow Road is one anyhow.

GavRedKing

I think Rooney is the other, not sure who against, Portsmouth maybe?

Bolton.

Edit - bloody 5 minutes too late for the last two questions.....

Caveman1

Yeah, Rooney at the Reebok, Suarez at Carrow road.

Washington Irving

This one is probably too easy, but who were the inaugural English league champions and what season was it?

Preston NE in 1888-89 (always useful to know when an Arsenal fan talks about their undefeated season :pac: )

Here's another question :

Q: Which player scored a goal for his club in a major English Cup final that became the only goal he ever scored for the club?

is it the guy who probably saved Fergie's united career in '90

EDIT: that's him named above

Charisteas

Ryan Bertrand - scored for Chelsea in this seasons Community Shield and I don't think he has scored since seeing as he's a second choice left back.

Lovely Bloke

Major Cup Final?

It's major if you win it :pac:

Nope , not Man U's Lee Martin (either of Man Utd Lee Martin's )

Not Bertrand. It's not a Charity Shield/Community Shield game, so you can rule them all out.

Good guess but not Morrow either.

Charisteas wrote: »

I bet if Adam's had imagined Morrow was a pint glass he wouldn't have dropped him. :pac:

Anyway, while you're all pondering the answer have a look at this that I was just reminded of.

Des Walker for Forest I think? I seem to remember a Forest supporting frined of mine telling me he scored his only goal in the Cup Final vs Spurs, the one where Gazza bolloxed himself up before going to Lazio.

You're right in one regard. Notts Forest Des Walker did score a rare goal in the FA Cup final. (unfortunately he scored it for Spurs :pac:)

(so not Des Walker) (not Martin, Bertrand, Morrow or Walker so far)
