Won't spoil it as I heard it the other night but a very good question. I'd be shocked if anybody honestly got this one right, by honest I mean not googling the answer.

Al Capwned · 31-05-2014 4:15pm

That's a cracking question....
Trying to figure out how it would happen is hard enough!!! :pac:

Kolido · 31-05-2014 4:42pm

Would I be right in thinking its recent enough, there's been few managers in the last 10 years or so. Is it someone like Kevin Philips or David Beckham, I'm probably way of the mark.

Al Capwned · 31-05-2014 4:56pm

Did any ex England international go into another sport perhaps???

The straws, they're just out of reach....

Has to be in the last 20 years at most.

Has to be a player on the fringes and/or with a bad injury record. Shot in the dark: Joe Cole?

EDIT: "Last five England caps", probably not J Cole

eh i dunno · 31-05-2014 5:24pm

Last twenty years and not in a different sport. Doubt you'd even find the answer on google. I'll give a clue in a while of no one gets it

LightningBlue · 31-05-2014 6:09pm

Was it Darren Anderton?

Captain Havoc · 31-05-2014 6:10pm

I remember Peter Taylor being a stand in and I think they had a couple of others in the early noughties, so I'd imagine it's the Glenn Hoddle, Keegan and Sven era? Was it one of the Arsenal defenders winding up their career?

eh i dunno · 31-05-2014 6:10pm

wow. Impressive. Thought it would take longer. I don't know the five managers but id imagine it includes a few caretakers

LightningBlue · 31-05-2014 6:13pm

I thought it was going to have to be someone who was capped in the period either side of Keegan especially under Taylor as he only managed England for 1 game.

LightningBlue · 31-05-2014 6:17pm

Who is the most recent World Cup winning player to be born in England?

roanoke · 31-05-2014 6:23pm

Perotta (Italy)

HalloweenJack · 31-05-2014 6:24pm

Simone Perrotta in 2006. He was born near Stoke, iirc.

Yep, Simone Perrota, as far as I know he was from Ashton under Lyme.

also interestingly enough the last ever player to be born in England to win the world cup ever. I happen to be a clairvoyant.

DazMarz · 31-05-2014 10:01pm

There are 8 cities in England with 2 or more teams that play in the football league (as of the start of the 2013/14 Season) ... Name them.

This sounds easy at the start... but it swiftly gets more difficult as the cities are named.

I'll personally get the easy ones out of the way:

Manchester
Liverpool
London

The remaining 5?

batistuta9 · 31-05-2014 10:09pm

birmingham
nottingham
bristol
stoke

edit: & sheffield

Kiwi_knock · 31-05-2014 10:09pm

This question was asked earlier and is a good one but I think I'm right I saying it's no longer accurate ....wasn't one of the Bristol teams relegated

If we are repeating good questions here's one of my favourites.
What player has played in 4 world cup finals tournaments but has never played a WC cup qualifier ?

Could be but he never played a game in 1994 so this wouldnt count as playing surely?

Benimar · 02-06-2014 12:42am

It's Guisseppe Bergomi

82 was called up for tournament, same in 98.

1990 they were hosts.

86 they were defending champions.

great question

losthorizon · 02-06-2014 1:18pm

What three Barcelona clubs hosted games at the 1992 Olympics games?

Extra point if you name the stadiums!

Kolido · 02-06-2014 1:49pm

I would guess Espanyol is one.

And surely the Nou Camp and the ground that Barca's reserves use which holds about 10k?

losthorizon · 02-06-2014 1:56pm

Espanyol is one correct
Nou Camp is correct - obviously that Barcelona. Thats three answers out of the six.

Barcas reserve stadium wasn't used.

kfallon · 02-06-2014 6:00pm

Was Barca's training ground used?

Thought that could hold about 10 or 20 thousand people

Benimar · 02-06-2014 6:46pm

Camp Nou
Sarria (also venue for Brazil v Italy in 1982, one of the best games of all time)
Sabadells ground..no idea of the name unless I Google it

Yeah correct. Espanyol (now Catalan spelling) used to there. They have since moved not altogether voluntarily and their former stadium denolished.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estadi_de_Sarri%C3%A0

Barcelona hosted games as did one of the other clubs in the province of Barcelona -
Sabadell.

http://estadiosdeespana.blogspot.ie/2011/04/sabadell-estadi-de-la-nova-creu-alta.html

The stadium is called Estadi de la Nova Creu Alta.

On a side note I didnt ask it but two other venues outside Catalonia also hosted Games - at Valencias stadium. Its quite near Barcelona and loads of people in that province speak Catalan as a first language not Spanish and also Zaragoza.
