Norwich is correct, Barnsely and Swindon weren't in the Premiership until later. The other teams were Sheffield United, Southampton, Crystal Palace and Middlesbrough who finished bottom of this particular group and second last in the league.

You're up besty.

besty

Right,
couuld have been asked somewhere before but.....
Name the 2 players who have won:

FA Cup
Premiership
European Championships (International tournament)
Champions League.

I don't think this one will last long

Jivin Turkey

Schmeichel is one.

Barthez?

Mossin

Schmeichel is a definate, but i don't think Barthez won an F.A. Cup.

Could it be Anelka? the double with Arsenal in 1998, European Championship with France in 2000, and Champions League with Real Madrid.

Mossin

As I got that question correct, i will pose the next one...

It's just a teaser.

Who was the oldest scorer in Euro '96?

Think it might have been McCoist alright, Pearce is older but peno's don't really count.

Afaik yer right but I don't wanna interrupt himself to ask.

Class party and whatnot tonight so like he said, wait till morning

Shearer was top scorer with 5, Ally had one bloody goal.

Mossin

Yeah it was Ally McCoist.

Not the most obvious answer, but as Kaimera said he only scored 1 goal in the tournament.

blu_sonic your question now.

Mossin

Just to keep this thread going im going to pose another question.

A bit of a pickle.

galwaydude

Pigman II

Zidane was the european player of the year in 98 ronaldo won it in 97

Jivin Turkey

Davor Suker or Pedrag Mijatovic.

Well that's Davor Suker. Could be him alright. Still, something says Rivaldo, or Michael Owen?

Mossin

I apologise if i got the year wrong, but the correct answer was Pedrag Mijatovic, as Jivin Turkey correctly pointed out.

I am open to correction if someone can prove me wrong but Cudicini and Taibi are not full internationals. And Di Canio and Carbone never made it to the full side either.
