Oldies.....but goodies?

[Oztoffee]

When I were a lad a lot of blokes used to take newcomers in the pub for a ride by asking what seemed to be easy questions but were actually very odd and sometimes too hard. Winner got a pint of Higsons Brown, needless to say the newcomers always ended up paying.

Questions like these....remember these were 50 years ago!

 

1. What is taken to every Cup Final but never used?

 

2. Who played for both sides in the 1959 Cup Final?

 

If you know the answers please feel free to post them. Otherwise add your own experiences of these off-the-cuff pub quizzes.

Great question

[Matt]

Oz, we're still waiting on the answers to your 2 questions

[johnh]

We know that Everton and Liverpool are separated by a Park and that Nottingham Forest and Notts County are separated by the River Trent, but which two clubs are separated by a field?

Chester & Chesterfield?

Glasgow Green separates Ibrox Stadium from Celtic Park. Does this count?

[Cornish Steve]

Wednesfield lies between Molineux and Bescot Stadium?

[MikeO]

I know the closest two grounds in the UK are Dundee and Dundee United but I've no idea what's between them; still tending to think the question is a play on words and my first guess was right (and if it's not it should have been :shaking fist:).

[johnh]

MikeO is right. Chester and Chesterfield.

[Cornish Steve]

 

Chester & Chesterfield?

 

Chester City Football Club was dissolved a few years ago. Chester FC doesn't play in the major leagues.

[Cornish Steve]

MikeO is right. Chester and Chesterfield.

 

I lodge an official complaint!

[MikeO]

 

I lodge an official complaint!

 

Title of the thread is "Oldies......but goodies" so current team status is irrelevant.

 

Complaint denied .

In that case, Broomfield separates the grounds of Bradford City and Bradford Park Avenue.

Great question

Thanks Matt, always liked that one myself.

[Oztoffee]

Oz, we're still waiting on the answers to your 2 questions

Already been covered Matt.

1. The losing teams ribbons

2. The band of the Coldstream Guards

 

I thought the Sunderland, Brooking, Villa one was a really good and clever question.

[Oztoffee]

There's a good cricket related one too.

 

Q. Who are the only father and son ever to play for their country in the same game?

 

If you get this one you are really clever and a little anal too!

I know this one. I know this one. They played for the West Indies right? And they both scored a century, right? No way I can remember the names, though.

Ha ha, made me laugh Cornish. You sound like Little Johnny with his hand up in class, 'pick me, pick me miss!'

Ah ok, wasnt sure who was right

[johnh]

Who played for Liverpool (v Everton) at Anfield and then for Everton (v Liverpool) at Goodison in the same season?

 

Clue: There was no transfer fee involved.
