As far as I can work out...

Darren Ferguson today became the first person to win the Football League Trophy as a player (Wrexham, 2005) and as a manager (Peterborough, 2014)

Edit: I've been informed that Sean O'Driscoll was actually the first to achieve this, but I don't have the stats at hand.

Hey guys,

Who was the first manager to win the Football League championship twice, since the formation of the Premier League in 1992?

The wording is slightly odd, but have a little think before I make it a tad easier.
 
No.

Off the top of my head, I don't think Neil Warnock has won the Football League.
 
I'm sure Peter Reid won it twice with Sunderland, both in the 90s.

I stand corrected, Peter Reid it is. In 1996 and 1999. I had Kevin Keegan; Newcastle in 1993 and Manchester City in 2002.

Still, your turn.
 
I remember now, I messed up that last question; it was supposed to be "Who was the first manager to win the Football League after 1992 with two different teams?", and it was indeed Kevin Keegan with Newcastle in 1993 and Manchester City in 2002. So that, I got right, but because I ballsed it up Famine still was correct with Peter Reid being the first manager to actually do it.

Who was the first professional footballer in England to successfully sue and win compensation for a career ending injury?

Clue: The incident occurred in the 1980s but wasn't settled until the 1990s. The player in question suffered a broken leg during a game.

I have got an absolute belter of a question!

Well, seeing as how nobody got mine...

Ian Knight was the first player to successfully sue for a career-ending injury and win. In 1987 in a Sheffield Wednesday vs Chester City cup fixture, Owls centre back Knight suffered a horrific injury at the hands of Seals striker Gary Bennett. The tackle resulted in Knight's leg being broken in seven different places. Knight recovered but could not maintain the stresses of the professional game again.

The case rumbled on for years but finally, in 1997, Chester City were found liable and settled with Knight out of court.

You may ask yours then.
 
Thank you very much kind sir!

Who is the only player to score in each division from the Premier League to Conference South, FA Cup, League Cup, the SPL, Scottish Cup, Champions League and Europa League?
 
I'm sure we had a question about Colin Cramb being the only player to appear in the English 1-4 and the Scottish 1-4, so your question would disprove this.

Hmm. Tough one.

He can't be an A-Lister and he can't be that good. Must be a recent/current player as well. I don't think Kris Commons has played in all of those leagues, but it will be someone like that.
 
Hm. I can't think of many players who played in the English lower leagues and Scottish higher leagues and vice versa. Players like Jon Daly have done L1, L2 and the SPL but nothing else.

It's a toughie. Can we have a clue?
