Steve Staunton?

EDIT: This is in reply to Charisteas' question. If I recall correctly, Liverpool had their GK sent off and Stan stood in goals a few years ago.

Steve Staunton?

3 posts about Steve Staunton in 1 minute! Haven't seen the likes of that since the likes of that since getting trashed by Cyprus!

Can we rename this the Steve Staunton Quiz Thread??

Charisteas · 07-03-2013 4:40pm

Yes the answer to my question was also Steve Staunton

Q: After two reds in that Everton 0-1, which player also got sent off in the very next Liverpool game?

That's amazing how he scored a hat-trick in a league cup game for liverpool, as a substitute no less, yet didn't score a single league goal for them.

I read something about this - and i cant for the life of me remember who it was - didnt play with the english club for long, but is a recognised/famous LOI name.....

(shows my distinct lack of knowledge of the LOI)

Staunton's debut was against Tunisia in October 88. Sure McGrath was one of the top players at Euro 88.

Staunton is "an" answer ... but not "the" particular answer I'm looking for in this case.

There was another one...... I'm off to Google....

EDIT - Pat Scully, was with Arsenal. From wiki.

Peppa Pig · 08-03-2013 1:59pm

It is Pat Scully, but he didn't technically play for a top English club. He was at Arsenal at the time but never played for the first team.
So it's Staunton that's the answer, and I'm right.:D

Al Capwned · 08-03-2013 2:06pm

Who was the first Irishman to captain an FA Cup winning team.

I used Yahoo to get the answer, is that ok? Wouldn't have had a clue otherwise,especially as it was a fair while ago. But I won't post the name.

Fair enough. I knew Scully never played a league game for Arsenal, but I thought I'd heard he'd played a few cup games or something.

Anyway, out of curiosity I went to his wiki afterwards and saw this :

However, he played many games for Arsenal's first team, and after loan spells at Preston North End and Northampton Town he slotted into the back four in place of Tony Adams who was unable to fulfill his duties on many occasions due to excessive alcohol consumption.

Scully however felt that his career would be better served shoring up the defence at Southend United and duly completed a move to the Essex outfit in 1988 after thrashing out terms behind closed doors with the top brass.

I believe that entry was made by Brian Glanville.

If you can't believe what you read on wiki then what's the world coming to? :pac:

Peppa Pig · 08-03-2013 2:34pm

I'd believe Brian Glanville all right but look at the side of the wiki page and his Arsenal stats are all zero. He probably edited the wrong page!

Yip. Met him the night before the Liverpool legends match in Drogheda a couple of years ago and he was (in his own words) "fairly tanning the Nigerian lager". He only lasted about 25 minutes in the game the next day, not surprisingly.:D

Did anyone get the answer to the Pele quote about the goal? I was going to say the one when he dummied the keeper, ran around the other side of him but then put the shot wide. But the way it's quoted obviously refers to it being somebody else who scored so I've no idea.

I think it was against Uruguay in a WC game, not sure though.

Yep, joined Roma in 1989 :eek:

Edit, actually just read that Giggs signed youth contract in 1987, so that would make Giggs longest.
