Anyone got any bloody hard football questions

Ok I've cheated, and apparently it was in fact Thierry. Against Wigan (begins with W so I was close):

"Arsenal's final game at the stadium was their FA Premier League match on 7 May 2006 against Wigan Athletic, the last game of the season. The team needed to better the result of neighbours Tottenham Hotspur in order to again secure qualification for the Champions League. Having been 2-1 behind, a hat trick by captain and all-time leading goal scorer Thierry Henry secured qualification, with Henry kneeling down to kiss the turf on scoring what proved to be the final goal seen at the stadium."

No.

That place was called Arsenal Stadium, if that helps you think a little more laterally.

Is he still playing? If so, he must be one of the last few to have played at the Goldstone.

How many others? Beckham, McGleIsh, Lampard...

Unsurprisingly he's at Leeds with Warnock

Is the correct answer! Thames AFC had a 120k capacity (only Wembley, 127k at one point, has had more). The total attendance from their two years in the league was less than the capacity. New Brighton [Tower] FC (Liverpool 'seaside') arguably second with 100k although Chelsea and Man City claim similar and I guess it's impossible to prove as none were filled...

Yay! I've got a vague recollection of reading about them in WSC or something similar. Good question though. If I ever find myself organising a football quiz, I'm coming straight to this thread first.

I love this Highbury question. I might have to use that again. Though the answer will no doubt change every other week...

(that's another HEFTY clue)

Was it Mr Kenny that bit a chunk out of someone's cheek?

How many Goldstone players left in professional football?

I need to go to bed, work in the morning. So the last man to score a league goal at Highbury stadium was Andy Mangan, in the 90th minute, a week ago now.

Without looking.

Two teams, one in the Scottish one in the English League with the letters A,B,C,D and E, in their name.
