[Football] NSC Football Quiz League

Couldn't decide between Clemence and Banks for that one. At the last minute, I thought about Hart. Wouldn't have made any difference!

 

[GREASED WEASEL]

Clemence and Banks didn’t even cross my mind

I assumed it would be someone recent due to more games being played and had it down to either Hart or Paul Robinson. Not sure what it says about me that most of you had legends of the game come to mind while I was thinking about two flappers!

I think Round 10 is perhaps the easiest round so far, I think there will be a lot of 8s and 9s. I’m not even going to try and work out Q10 but this bloody Haribo Cup one is starting to annoy me. I think I’ve got the first eight though.

I only know Q1 &Q10

all the other stuff is too recent

It's ridiculous that Hart has more England caps than Clemence.

Reminds me though of an amusing moment some years ago.

I met Andy King (ex-Everton) when he was manager of Grimsby. First thing I said to him: Excuse me, can you tell me where is King's Drive? The instant reply: Back of Clemence's net!

This was of course the answer I was looking for, but it was still a delight to hear it.

All seems a long time ago now.....

Results a bit slow coming in but....

 

[AmexRuislip]

I have answers for all the questions apart from who knocked us out the Haribo Cup in 2017. I refuse to take a guess at it as I must know the answer, but I pay so little interest to that competition I can’t seem to find it in my brain.

I’m furloughed so luckily I can afford to spend the whole day thinking about it.

Not even as the Albion were involved in

Not even as the Albion were involved in

I've attended the matches in the early stages (as far as Albion tend to get) but I wouldn't have known the answer to the question had I not looked it up for a question. And as I didn't know the answer, even though I should, I thought that some others might know the answer but others might not know the answer because they don't remember. So, if some know the answer, others should know the answer, and some can't remember the answer I thought it would be a good one to ask people to answer. It has turned out exactly that way.

Firstly the answers:

 

[kevo]

Sorry, I’ve answered now.

Finally the Haribo Cup opponent came to me this afternoon while washing the car. I can’t believe I forgot it, that game caused arguments on NSC for months!

That's why I remembered it too....

 

[Eeyore]

Now the league

 

[Eeyore]

And the NSC Quiz Cup



Your league questions for round 11- known as 'The Complete and Utter Shyte Round' are on their way.

One year out for both Forster and Murray - assume Easy10 got both spot on. Changed my mind from 1996 for the Euros one at last minute. Terrible run of form atm - knocked out of the cup, too. They'll be calling for the manager's head soon.
