Jo at MCFC and maybe Silva at Arsenal, these are some tough questions.

I'm not really one for International soccer and aren't even aware of all the participants for the finals in Ukraine this summer. unsure.png

 

Did Portugal qualify this year?, I'll say Ronaldo then, if not him then The Netherlands and Van Persie, not sure about them either that they made it.

 

Mikael Forssell of Finland with seven goals scored.

Could be Mills actually, I was thinking Matteo but not sure about him.

 

Surely not Ferdinand , that would be too far back. What about Beckford when he was there, did he get a cap for any of those trivial games they sometimes play, could be any of those but will go with the initial answer.

 

Matteo is Scottish and Beckford is capless - pretty sure smith is correct.

what about the goalkeeper Robinson, he played at Euro 2004 I think and was a Leeds player at the time, it's a bit of a long shot but I'll go for it.

 

Oh fuck it, I've just read 'scored a goal' , half asleep in my defense

 

Someone mentioned Bowyer, that's a real good answer and what about Milner when he was there, can't leave him out.

Milner was u21 at Leeds as they weren't in prem for long with him - don't think Bowyer earnt a cap, maybe 1 or 2 but no goal. It'll be smith just before he moved to man u. They've been in the championship since.

 

Yes, Alan Smith on 7th September 2002 at Villa Park in a 1-1 draw with Portugal.

I'll have a quick look at Wikipedia or something because I really don't know the answer etcdry.png

 

To the best of my knowledge, the last question is Leeds United, Manchester United and I don't know the other, maybe Derby County. Leeds is for sure, but not confident about the other two.

 

The Norway card player, I'll give a bit longer, but it wasn't Berg, you have to go back to the early 1980s to find an answer

I'll be quick - I don't know and only have the faintest idea.

 

Must be someone in the vicinity or nearby. Leyton Orient and Fulham I'll say.

 

I was thinking Bournemouth too but scrap that I think.

 

Stoke City (1972-1975) and West Bromwich Albion (1975-1976).

How many different Arsenal footballers have won the PFA Footballer of the Year Awards?

Told you I didn't know.

 

I don't know (either) when this Footballer of the year awards thing even started so this presents an immediate problem.

 

Bergkamp for sure, maybe Alan Smith, could be Merson also, Van Persie could be in this, Henry too, forgot about him, maybe Anelka as well.

 

I don't think players like Drake and Bastin are involved in this, too far back for a Chapman era.

No idea really. West Ham maybe, Leyton Orient and Fulham possibly

 

Feel a bit embarrassed with this.

 

Portsmouth (1940-43), Southampton (1943-49) and Tottenham Hotspur (1949-55).
