Association Football Trivia Thread

[daan]

There's difficult and there's impossible.

So, it's an under-21 game we're looking for, considering we never played the Netherlands in 79-80 and Gullit wasn't capped until '81.

Using Google, the 6th thread in the search results is this thread...

When I requested a 'hard one', little did i know...

 

[daan]

So, who was he?

 

[Ferrari_458]

A reverse image search tells me it is Marco de Vroedt

Never heard of him before, and don't know why he is famous, but at least I know the name

No, it was back right we're looking for and that is Rene Kraay (whoever the 🤬 he is...)

[Ferrari_458]

Oh, I thought it was back left

I found that site too

 

[MagpieRacer]

Just a note I dunno how seriously its being taken but the title says "Association Football" Doesn't that exclude international football?

 

[Famine]

Association Football is the official name of the sport, regardless of who is playing it.

 

[dhandeh]

So, do we have a winner yet, or are we still searching for someone who played one u21 match over 30 years ago!

 

[Dennisch]

Correct. And that 🤬 is my uncle.

 

[dhandeh]

Correct. And that 🤬 is my uncle.

Report him!

 

[daan]

I didn't call him anything. The 🤬 was just to indicate how we were supposed to know him.

I thought that the photo with Ruud Gullit would give some leads towards him. And it did.

 

[daan]

By using reverse image search, in a quiz where you're supposed to only use your own knowledge...

Anyway, he looks a bit like Paul Stanley, without the makeup. And the goalie looks like Peter Beardsley.

 

[Dennisch]

You can't know everything. Unless you're Famine.

But isn't it fun to go around the interwebz, finding things you didn't know about, and thus expanding your knowledge?

But even Famine didn't know your uncle. And he was well out with the year, but we'll not mention that...

I've learned loads in this thread from other people, but this was found using a method that goes against the very ethos of a quiz. There is no skill or knowledge required to do a reverse image search.

It'd be like me posting this image with the names blanked out and asking for names and careers of these 2 people.

Just because there's a famous person or 2 in the photo doesn't mean we're going to get the others...

 

[Famine]

To be honest, I'd find that one easier

 

[daan]

Yep, one of them is a legend, and the other is Stevie Kirk....



EDIT: Pronounced "Leg end"

 

[Famine]

Only one man has won the FA Cup with both Liverpool and Everton... and he was from Liverpool too. Who was he?

 

[TyrrellRacing]

Can't for the life remember his name but I think he passed away recently. Jack Connor ? Something like that.

 

[daan]

Gary Ablett?

 

[Famine]

Gary Ablett it was

 

[MagpieRacer]

Gary Ablett? Died quite recently I believe.

Ahh Tree'd

 

[daan]

I recall reading Ablett's obituary where it mentioned he won the cup with both of them.

Name the 7 players who have been capped for England whilst playing for Rangers?

Off the top of my head that I'm 100% on...

Paul Gascoigne
Trevor Steven

Not sure if these are so I'm guessing these are from the late 80's Rangers Souness team...

Terry Butcher
Gary Stevens

I know Mark Hateley (ex Pompey!) was capped, but not sure if he was at Rangers when capped.

 

[jaymanji]

Chris Woods? I think he got at least 1 cap.

 

[Famine]

Chris Woods? I think he got at least 1 cap.

Yep. Hateley too. I think the other one is Mark Walters.

Footballers have nothing better than spending money on having tattoos. But there is one that is a qualified tattoo artist. Name this person.

 

[Sureboss]

Can I say Rob Green for a laugh?
