Association Football Trivia Thread

[Furinkazen]

The brothers that instantly come to mind are Bobby and Jackie Charlton.

But they made the International squads...

 

[Liquid]

Both of those played internationally, and were never swaps in transfers except perhaps at youth level.

We could be on for a classic Famine thread breaker.

 

[Famine]

How long ago are we talking?

The brothers that instantly come to mind are Bobby and Jackie Charlton.

Indeed not correct for the above reasons. Right era and nationality though.

 

[Liquid]

Geez, I could guess members of the WC66 squad but no idea of any other brothers. Looks like I'm out on this one.

 

[Famine]

I mentioned that they play in the same position for a reason...

Also the World Cup winner didn't get his medal until FIFA decided to retroactively award them to members of the squad, not just those who played the final...

 

[Liquid]

Must be someone like... err, Alan Ball. But again, no idea about PFA winning siblings.

 

[Famine]

I don't know if the World Cup winning brother was also in a PFA team of the year.

I'm trying to be cryptic but obvious... They're players who you'd NEVER play out of position.

 

[Liquid]

Well if Gordon Banks had a brother, I have no idea of his name. Then again, you said he didn't get his medal until later and I've got no idea who the back-up keeper was, let alone his brother.

Peter Bonetti and... Jimmy Bonetti?

 

[Famine]

Right position

The brothers forenames were Ron and Peter - Peter, the younger brother, died in 1997 while World Cup winning Ron is still with us.

 

[Matty]

Ron and Peter Springet?

 

[Famine]

It was indeed the goalkeeper brothers Springett.

Now what where the clubs involved in the swap? And, let's face it, there's a reason I'd ask...

 

[Matty]

Wendsday to QPR?

 

[Akmuq]

Well, one went to Sheffield Wednesday anyway...

 

[Famine]

That qualifies as Matty's turn!

 

[Matty]

Name the two English teams with the letter 'X' in their they're there names.

 

[Akmuq]

Almost said Wrexham.

Crewe Alexandra and Exeter City.

 

[Matty]

Hmm the question I seen only had two teams in the answer, and only one of them is in your answer Akmuq.

Exeter and Crewe Alexandra are right. The other I thought of was Uxbridge United. But maybe yet fell out of league football.

Your turn.

 

[Akmuq]

What player has won the Champions League with the most teams?

 

[SagarisGTB]

Seedorf, no?

 

[Akmuq]

Seedorf, no?

Correct.👍 Seedorf won it for Ajax in 1995, Madrid in 1998 and Milan in 2003 and 2007.


Your turn.

 

[Matty]

Since Sagaris hasn't posted a question yet I'll field one in the meantime.

What international side did Giuseppe Wilson get 3 appearances for?

 

[Akmuq]

Is this a trick question?

Italy.

 

[Liquid]

San Marino.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Hmm, Wilson is an English name...and possibly Irish...

England?
Ireland?

 

[Matty]

Sorry forgot about the question. Akmuq got it correct.

Born in England I believe, but got 3 caps for Italy.

 

[Akmuq]

4 Teams have won the 3 top European Competitions(Champions League, Europa League and the now-defunct Cup-Winners Cup)

Name them.


Note: Winners of the old European Cup and UEFA Cup are counted.

 

[Famine]

Bayern Munich have won all three, along with the Super Cup and the Club World Cup (and its predecessor) too - so probably the only team to win all five, but I think Juventus might rival them (if they haven't since been rescinded )

 

[MagpieRacer]

Chelsea must have won the cup-winners cup at some point so Chelsea must be one of the 4.

 

[Akmuq]

Bayern Munich

Correct.

Juventus

Correct.

Chelsea

Correct.


One more to get.

 

[MagpieRacer]

Leaning between Real Madrid and Ajax, both were strong in Europe in years gone by. Gonna go with Ajax.
