Friday's answer: Nicky Barmby's 38th minute goal in the 3-0 friendly win on 28th February 2001 at Villa Park. Emile Heskey and Ugo Ehiogu also scored.

 

It's surely Blissett when Watford were 'good' - Barnes out wide. We beat them in the cup final when Gray scored the diving header (2-0 wasn't it?). They were pony in the prem years and I can't remember them ever scoring many.

Yes, Luther Blissett with 27 goals in season 1982-83.

Great Britain will be aiming for their fourth Olympic Games men's football gold medal in London 2012.

The previous three came in 1900, 1908 & 1912 when they were won by the England Amateur team...

The Great Britain football team (in effect, England Amateurs) which won the Olympic Games gold medals in 1908 & 1912 was captained by Tottenham Hotspur's legendary gentleman amateur player Vivian Woodward.

Woodward was the greatest player in the world of his generation and his goalscoring record was truly astounding: 29 goals in 23 appearances for the full England team and a further 44 goals in 30 appearances for England Amateurs, including 8 goals in a match against France.

England's squad at the 1908 Olympic Games in London was:

Horace Bailey (Leicester Fosse, goalkeeper)

Arthur Berry (Oxford University)

Frederick Chapman (South Notts F.C.)

Walter Corbett (Birmingham City F.C.)

Harold Hardman (Everton F.C.)

Robert Hawkes (Luton Town F.C.)

Kenneth Hunt (Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C.)
