Name 6 players who have won the European Cup/Champions' League who have played for one of the two Edinburgh clubs, Hearts or Hibs?

GOOD LUCK!!!!!

Well ex-Hearts player Dave Mackay helped Spurs to the European Cup Winners final in which they beat Athletico Madrid I think but he didn't play in the actual final so I don't know whether that counts...

Nope!

That's not the European Cup

Oh aye, of course it isn't :)

Bobby Johnstone played for Hibs and won the European Cup with Celtic I think, didn't he?

Nope

Bloody hell:p
Any hints?

Wait til Denis comes on!

He'll probably get all six immediately

Wait, Jock Stein was manager at Hibs for a short while before becoming the manager of Celtic and winning the european cup with them. Does that count?

Good Try but no cigar!

You want a hint philler?

One of them is one of the greatest footballers of all time!

Of course, how could I not know that. George Best who had a brief spell at Hibs after leaving Manutd. Oh, how could I forget:)

Hey, can I post my trivia too ?
Who was rejected by West Ham when he was only 14, and with his club ( as a trainee ) come to London to have a trial ?

Hint : he used to be the Serie A top scorer.

WHAT!!!!!!????????




iz u taken da piss man?

No, guys. The idea of these threads is you answer the question before asking another one. The guy who gets the question right gets to ask a question. Otherwise the threads become a mess and you have like 8 questions going on at once and it just dies. :kader:

Yep George Best is 1

5 to go

No man, if I tell you what year or season you will know for sure. Allright then I`ll give you the answer, it was Andriy Shevchenko. When he was 14, he along with his teammate from Dynamo Kiev football academy, went to London to have a friendly match with West Ham junior squad. Sheva was told that he should also give a try to take a trial at West Ham. Unfortunately, West Ham talent scout back then rejected him, because he was to skinny.

Here's another clue to mine

5 out of of the 6 played for 1 Edinburgh team and only 1 played for the other.

Is Franck Sauzee one?

Sauzee is correctomundo

2 down 4 to go

Are they fairly recent (i.e. post-90s)? If they're not, I doubt if I can get it.

I thought about Paul Lambert but I don't think he ever played for the Edinburgh clubs.

none of the other 4 are recent.

at least now you know that only 1 of the 6 played for Hearts

i thought 3 of the missing 4 might have been got very quickly but obviously not. the other one is very difficult unless you are about my age (31 in 3 weeks time).

Give up?

I'll give the answers at 3 oclock BST this afternoon

Ok the answers are:

HIBS:

Ronnie Simpson: Celtic 1967
Bertie Auld: Celtic 1967
George Best: Manchester United 1968
Des Bremner: Aston Villa 1982
Franck Sauzee Marseille 1993

HEARTS:

Willie Wallace Celtic 1967

Surely all you geniuses out there can come up with better ones than that.

Next question:

Which player scored the first ever goal in the Premierleague?

Brian Deane.

Brian Deane for for Sheffield United against Manchester United.

Ok, name 6 players who have scored for 5 different clubs in the Premiership.

I reckon Tony Adams cos he has scored 4 own goals and has scored for Arsenal

LOL, this is quite slack i know, but i'm more interested in hearing the correct answer to this question.

andriy shevchenko.

Andriy Shevchenko has never scored in the Premiership.

And own goals don't count, so that rules out Frank Sinclair and Tony Adams.

btw,WHO ARE THE 6 PLAYERS???! Haven't a clue, mate, Nick Barmby's definitely one of them, I remember him in his Middlesbrough days, fine player

ANDY TOWNSEND - Chelsea, Southampton, Middlesbrough, Aston Villa, Norwich

STAN COLLYMORE - Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest, Liverpool, Aston Villa, Leicester City, Bradford City

Four down, two to go.

Dean Saunders - Derby, Aston Villa, Liverpool, N.Forest, Bradford.
Stan Collymore - N.Forest, Liverpool, Aston Villa, Leicester, Bradford.
Nick Barmby - Tottenham, Everton, Middlesbrough, Liverpool, Leeds
Mark Hughes - Man Utd, Chelesa, Blackburn, Everton, Southampton

Andy Cole has played for Fulham and Bristol City but never in the Premiership with them.
Don Hutchison has played for Sheffield United but never in the Premiership with them.
Andy Townsend hasn't scored for all five listed clubs.

Is Les Ferdinand among them? I can only think of four of his past clubs but I'm certain there's a fifth

BENITO CARBONE - Sheffield Wednesday, Aston Villa, Middlesbrough, Derby County, Bradford City

i was about to say carbone... is it him ?

Should be Carbone and...

ASHLEY WARD - Norwich City, Derby County, Blackburn Rovers, Leicester City, Barnsley

That's it.

Benito Carbone and Ashley Ward are the two remaining ones.

Les Ferdinand has played for QPR, Newcastle, Tottenham and West Ham in the Premiership. I think he used to play for a Non-League side.

Hey, I knew I'd get it!

Nice to see two ex-Boro players in there, Carbone saved us last season and made the goal when we beat Man United at Old Trafford :D

What was unusual about the shirt of Argentinian player Bertoni in the 1978 World Cup?

Correct Gizmo!

He was wearing number 1 in an outfield position

Les Ferdinand

Yeah, bit of an easy one that one, straight off the top of my head :p

I'll try and come up with something better

Two players have scored four hat-tricks on separate occasions for England, who are they?

Gary Lineker?

Nope, not Lineker, both much older than that

Jimmy Greaves and Tom Finney?

Jimmy Greaves is one of them, the other is from the same era

Bobby Charlton is the other

Spot on! Jimmy Greaves and Bobby Charlton, both members of the 1966 World Cup side, as I recall, Greaves famously missed the final and was replaced by none other than Sir Geoff Hurst, and the rest, they say, is history!

Who became the first player to miss a penalty from normal play (i.e. not in a shootout) in a World Cup tournament (i.e. not qualifiers) since 1986 when he hit the crossbar from the spot in 1998?

Yep, that's right. Yugoslavia went on to lose 2-1 in that game, with Edgar Davids scoring late on.

Who scored the first goal for England under Sven Goran Eriksson's reign?

Nick Barmby?

That is correct.

He has also scored the first goal for England under Glenn Hoddle's reign.

OK then Here's my next one. I'll make it easy

NOPE M8 I'M A PRODDY TOO!

Did u assume I was a Catholic because of the club I support?

Anyway, I bet this isn't the one u are thinking of but Terry Veneables scored for England at every level. If you're not thinking of him then I'll guess Darren Anderton cos Owen is too obvious

Terry Venables, I know, has represented England at every single level, including manager, but I'm not sure whether he has scored in every level.

Yep! El Tel scored at every level

*Whistles*

Oh sorry, are you talking to me? Pfft, tsk, erm, yeah, erm, which club would that be? :$ LoL.

Stoke derby?

Edit: No. I mean current international, not Venables.

A Stoke derby is played between Stoke City and Port Vale.

I think what jackie meant was a derby match between two teams from the same city, and therefore Newcastle v Sunderland does not count.

Hm… could it be Alan Smith?

I'm really, really tired, I wrote up counties and had a list of about 25 derby matches, then re-read his question. :(

I tell you what question will be doing the rounds in Glasgow after today!

Name ex-Old Firm players who have scored title winning goals in England? I can think of 3

Is Kenny Dalglish one?
Andrei Kanchelskis?

Dalglish YES
Kanchelskis NO

I didn't think Kanchelskis was one either. I was fishing.

I'm guessing again, but Brian McClair?

Nope
