Bowtie?
Waistcoat?
Blazer?
Tanktop?

Close.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Something you wear around your neck then?

Tie?
Scarf?
Cravat?

 

[Liquid]

Tie?

There we go. Yes, it was only in the 1930s that the tie was officially abolished as part of a referee's attire.

Your turn, MUSC.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Right ive go a feeling that you guys are going to get this with minimum fuss and this question might already have been asked but here we go..

Who is the only player to have scored in the FA cup, League cup, UEFA cup and Champions League finals?

 

[Famine]

I didn't know he was the only player to do it, be Steven Gerrard has.

Not quite as absurd.

A true gentleman is not properly dressed without a... ?

But I already said codpiece?

Stevie G.

+1 for me, thanks very much.

Only one team in England begins with five consonants. Who are they?

 

[MUSC4EVER]

I bloody knew that was too easy!

Ill have a harder one next time!

 

[Famine]

Crystal Palace.

*cedes turn*

 

[Liquid]

This is turning into a quickfire round.

Who was the first Englishman to win two European Cups?

Bonus point if you can tell me something particularly dubious about the wins.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Hargreaves?!

 

[Liquid]

Nnnnope.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Hargreaves is a good shout though!

 

[MagpieRacer]

Paul Scholes?

 

[Famine]

Didn't... Steve McBananaman win two, with Real Madrid?

 

[Liquid]

I'm tempted to introduce a QI forfeit for obvious answers. Hehe, I did it once for the Kevin Keelan penalty save at Wembley, but didn't dock points.

Re: Scholes & McManaman - they may have done, but they weren't the first to do so. Further back in history.

 

[Akmuq]

Not sure of the first name but the second is Rimmer I think.

I remember hearing it cause he didn't actually play in either final.

I'll give you that. But just the one point for the incomplete info.

Jimmy Rimmer was an unused sub for Manchester United in 1969, still collected a winner's medal, and started the game for Aston Villa in 1982 but was injured and replaced after just 10 minutes by Nigel Spink.

So two medals in 1969 and 1982, despite only playing 10 minutes out of 180!

Akmuq's turn.

 

[Akmuq]

Two players have won the Champions League, the Europa League, the World Cup and the European Championships at some stage in their careers. Name them.

 

[Liquid]

Fernando Torres must be one of them, as part of the Spain team and the CL EL with Chelsea.

 

[Akmuq]

Correct.

 

[MagpieRacer]

One of them frenchmen? Thierry Henry?

 

[Liquid]

France, nice. Hadn't considered that.

I'd say... maybe Didier Deschamps.

 

[Akmuq]

No to both, although Deschamps did win the Champions League twice.

 

[Furinkazen]

Gianluigi Buffon? Francesco Totti?

 

[Liquid]

Roma have never won the CL. But I can't think of another answer...

Jon-Dahl Tomassen? The Dane.

 

[MagpieRacer]

Christian Karembu?

 

[Akmuq]

No to all, the player in question is still playing and has a lot of time left in his career barring misfortune.

 

[Liquid]

I.. would assume it's another Spaniard then?

Pedro? Might have won the Europa out on loan...

 

[MagpieRacer]

Azpilicueta?

 

[Akmuq]

Still no, this player didn't start a match in either world cup or euro championship triumph, but made sub appearances in both.
