I was thinking this too, but captains instead of managers.

Could be - the slight complication with either is there have been 57 finals but the list adds up to 58, so I assumed 2013 was included as Germany

Nationality of managers of European Cup/CL winners?

Yes, that's it, Germany makes 58 as both managers next saturday are German.

Stefan Kovacs who managed Ajax won it twice in the early 70's and Jenei who won it with Steau in '87.

What do the following teams hold in common?

Vasco da Gama
Borussia Dortmund
Zenit St Petersburg
Lazio
Athletic Bilbao
Southend United

Red Kev

I think I heard that Ferguson never beat Southend, can't remember him ever beating Dortmund so I'll just say it's teams he never beat at Man Utd.

Yeah close enough, those 6 teams hold a 100% record over Utd under Ferguson.

Not sure how I missed this answer earlier, I was certain it said something else when I saw it before. My apologies, Blackpool is correct.

Yes, sorry for the wild goose chase folks.

grohlisagod

It said Swindon first but I realised the answer midway through.

Ehh Blarney United's ground would be further north than Cobh Ramblers so Cobh to Derry is longer.

Actually Everton AFC would be also lower than Blarney.

yeah i know it's north of cork

but is derry to blarney further than the belfast to cork game?

what i asked in the first post

My point was to leave Blarney out of it as it is further North of places in Cork city or Cobh.
Now of course to go to Dublin and by extension Belfast one could drive south towards Cork city to then hook up with main Dublin-Cork motorway rather than cut cross country to join the motorway.
Ah feck it this is turning into a cross between geography class and the AA route planner.

you're misunderstanding it i think

the question was something like,
Q. what are the 3 longest distances involved in FAI cup ties?
A.
1 = derry v cobh,
2 = derry v cork city
3 = a belfast team v a cork team


so now with the derry v blarney game will it replace answer 3,
do you get it now?

Fr Tod Umptious

new question of people don't mind.

Seeing as Gibralter are in the football news, name the player from there who scored an FA Cup third round hatrick, while we are at it who did he play for and who was it against.

losthorizon

it was Joe something and the second letter in his surname was I think a "z"?

Can remember it but cant remember his name,I think it happened in the early 90s
FA Cup always threw up a few great non league teams,did he play for Woking or Yeovil Town? Who were non league back then.

Yes it was Woking, or 'non league Woking' as they were always referred to .
The other poster was on the right track with the 'z' in the name.

The opposition at the time were Div 3 I think, but are solid mid table Premiership theses days

Would have been correct only his 2nd goal was changed to an OG by the dubious goals panel, so not the one I'm afraid.
