Bad luck everlong. But there were 4 questions relating to events that happened over 10 years ago, so no shame in a youngster like you getting those wrong. :D

And Petrov is Bulgarian. Who knew?

It's not working properly. I'm not getting the answers :( what are the correct answers BOF? I reckon i got about 12.

12? Out of 10? Which quiz, bH?

Have to go to a meeting now but will get back to you on this later.

:) That was me being confident... :wink:

Really sorry I didn't post the answers for you bH. Of course, they have now changed for today's quiz.

If you want to have a go at that, I have cut and pasted the answers into Notepad, so can let you know what they are if you can't get them again.

I got 6/10 today, so I expect to be dropped after this dip in form. Here's that link again.


No worries mate, in my mind i got 12 out of 10 so nothing can change that now!

For some reason the results just don't show up after i press submit. I tried again today and nothing...(not that i did too well today). If you do get a spare second....

Woo Hoo, 8. Did much better than i thought i had. Didn't get Wigan or Zoff. Cheers BOF.

Although just realised that although i picked Swansea as my answer to no2, it's a different question from the one you've just put above!! My question was 'who plays at the new stadium'! Weird, guess my comp's shagged. Anyway, yay for me.

Another six for me today.

Got the answers if anyone can't get to them.

As I'm feeling generous, here's one: Phil Trousers managed Japan.

Good luck!

PS. Scroll to top of thread for link.

As I recall he was a Rangers winger. Now I'm not certain, but he may also be the player sent home from the '78 World Cup for failing a drug test.

Found him now on the Rangers web site. Sounds like he was the Scottish George Best!
