MikeO Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Just 5 questions 4 - 12 - 13 - 14 - 15 to get. Was a mistype when I said RB, should have said RC so that 12 (or 13) is Robert "Bobby" Charlton.....which would mean we've not got 10 yet.

Bill Posted November 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 (edited) 14 Rio Ferdinand. 4 Peter Beardsley. I was sure Ron Flowers would have been in there. He is there mate, my mistake. Just 12 , 13, and 18 to go. clues for those.... Blackburn, Redshite, and Middlesboro. Edited November 17, 2011 by Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Looked them up because I'm out of ideas....the Blackburn and 'Boro ones are before my time even so I'll be surprised if anyone gets them. Ray Clemence did captain England and would fit with the Liverpool clue but you said earlier that it was wrong Bill so I'm a bit confused by that.

MikeO Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Wycombe were in a semi quite recently when they were in the third tier but not the third division so that's probably not right....and probably not the first to do it. Orient got there once (seventies I think) but I don't know what division they were in at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Much investigation (Googling is impossible) and I've got Port Vale 1954....still don't know if that was the earliest but it certainly happened . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c1982 Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 (edited) What about Cardiff for 7 when they won it? What div were they in? If beard is correct with 1926 I'm going along that line! Edited November 18, 2011 by c1982 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
