c1982 Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 I'm too young to remember him Milla was/is a legend - probably still playing at the grand old age of 60 something!!! Think he played in the World Cup at 40 in the 90's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalziel Kane Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 There was some confusion over how old Milla actually was at Italia 90, I saw the tournament sometimes, one of the best of the last 30 years some said, even Milla himself was unsure about how old he even was of all things, some said 36, others 43, it was probably something inbetween the two I don't think Cameroon qualified for USA 94, so Milla wouldn't have been involved, it's the 1990 tourney everybody associates him with Actually, it appears he was, sorry Mr Milla. But the last bit still applies though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THFC6061 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 I'm pretty sure I know this one actually. I think that Samuel Eto'o has scored considerably more goals than anyone else in the African Cup of Nations during his time at Cameroon, he has since retired so his record is up for grabs but if I remember rightly his goal tally is quite remarkable.

Zoo Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Was born in Uxbridge ....never had a league team to my knowledge. They definatly do have a team Mike - I'm 99% sure that Jermaine Beckford used to play for them before moving to Leeds United. Vauxhall Motors are also a team to have an 'X' in their team name and I'm sure that they have been in the Football League at some stage, other than that I can think of anymore (unless you want to count Xylaphone FC).

I thought you said that Uxbridge had never had a club so I was pointing out that an Uxbridge FC do exist and play football weekly. I woulden't argue however that they have never been in the football league (along with Vauxhall Motors who I guessed earlier - they might have had a season in the league but I doubt it). I'm pretty sure we have guessed all the 'X' teams to be honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete0 Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Was born in Uxbridge ....never had a league team to my knowledge. I'd done them on an accumulator the other week,(but just checked the southern league and their in the division below does skybet go that far? ) I was unsure wether they had played in the pro leagues, so (slightly cheated) googled them and the 1st line says their established in 1871 tbh, so assumed they must have. Crazy they've been around so long and never made the football league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoo Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Vinnie Jones was "Welsh" & Lawrie Sanchez was Northern Irish. Was? So have they changed nationallity? Vinnie Jones was actually born in Watford, England but chose to play for the Welsh National team because he was desperate to get onto the world stage. He was allowed to do this due to one of his grand-parents being from Wales. Wimbledon and Coventry City however are both wrong answers. Try again.

DonKey Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 marcopaulo was the first person to get this one right so he earns some valuable points. The answer to my question was indeed Dwight Yorke who managed to score 123 goals for Aston Villa, Manchester United, Blackburn Rovers, Birmingham City and Sunderland and as he comes from a lovely part of the world called Trinidad & Tobago (Africa) it means that he qualifies for my question.

Zoo Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 West ham? Due to the forum being offline I've not been able to clarify your answer. Your guess of West Ham is indeed correct; The answer was the 1975 team who beat Fulham 2-0 in the final. The line-up was: Mervyn Day, Jack McDowell, Frank Lampard, Billy Bonds ©, Tommy Taylor, Kevin Lock, Billy Jennings, Greham Paddon, Alan Taylor, Trevor Brooking and Pat Holland.
