After checking who's 2nd, I am doubtful about my source! I was using the Premier League site (http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/players/index.html), and in joint second they have Titus Bramble and Andrew Johnson.

I'd tend to agree with your doubts about the prem site stats.

I just checked Soccerway (I'm not saying it's any more or less reliable than your source - in fact I'm sure Soccerway is often wrong, esp on height.). It has Lukaku at 94kg and Pantilimon at 103kg.

Also that search system on the prem site seems a bit messed up/incomplete? For instance Pantilimon doesn't even appear on the search results for height and weight even though they themselves have him at 2.03m/96kg

Yep. west Germany, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and Soviet Union.

Right, another World Cup on, or two.

Only one player has won the golden boot despite his team being eliminated in the first round. Name him.

And, other than Brazil, only three teams have had multiple Golden Ball (best player at the WC) winners. Name the countries and players. Bonus for the years.

Technically thats incorrect. It was the German Demoratic Republic which disappeared. That country never won a World Cup. The Federal Republic still exists - east Germany just became part of it.

Hasn't Sosa won it too. Although that makes 4

Hang on, so are there 3 or 4? Seedorf never accomplished that, only Eto'o, Pique and Desailly by my reckoning.

Got a christmas present of a calendar type thing where you tear off a page each day. Every page has a football quiz question on it. I'll put down some of the many I couldn't get.


1. In 2011, who was the first Englishman inducted into Scotlands Football Museum of Fame?

2. Who are the only strikers in EPL history to top goalscoring charts with two different clubs?

3. Which club's players have scored the most goals for England from 1872-2011?

4. Which NI goalkeeper was Danish keeper of the year in 2009?

5. Who is the only Austrian to have won an EPL player of the month award?

6. Which three clubs have won successive FA cups on more than one occasion?

7. which nation's league supplied the most players for the 2010 World Cup without that nation qualifying for the WC itself?

8. Which was the only World cup that all 4 home nations qualified for?

no idea if that's true about Wales, but if so, it makes the answer easy to find.

Wayne Rooney? I can't think of an FA Cup hattrick off top of my head.

I read the question as 'not including that nation' meaning that they may have qualified but their own players don't count?

3. Which club's players have scored the most goals for England from 1872-2011?

6. Which three clubs have won successive FA cups on more than one occasion?

3. United, basing a lot of that on Bobby Charlton!

6. Spurs, Blackburn and Arsenal

roanoke

3. I'll guess Spurs (they had Jimmy Greaves and Lineker for periods)

osarusan

Jaysus, look away for a few minutes and there's a load of replies.

3 - Not Spurs, another team's players have scored 192 to their 189 goals (until whenever the question was written, seemingly around the start of the 2011-12 season)

Edit: Yes, Man United.

6. Wanderers, Blackburn, Spurs.

7. - Yes Russia, had 12 players in the tournament, to Turkey's 11, and Scotland's 10.

I think his hattrick vs Portmouth (do you mean 2009?) was a prem game.
