Off the mark with a correct answer

Q7. Easy for a Baggies fan. Ben Foster

Q1. Tottenham Hotspur

6) Jose Chilavert, used to take penalties and free kicks that were around the box saying that he had more control of the ball due to his small feet.

An extra one for you Bill, - who is the highest scoring goalkeeper of all time ?

1) Hartlepool.

1 is Hartlepool

7 is Ben Foster

8 is Paraguay Goalkeeper Chilavert as you say. He has also scored nine goals for Paraguay. Eight of them are on this:  www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGAwjTizCjE

Roger Ceni (Brazil) is the goalkeeper credited witgh most scored goals of over 100. Don't know what the final figure is as I think he is still playing.

No 5 must have been a Rest of World XI v. England?

Didn't think anyone would get that one

No 5 must have been a Rest of World XI v. England?

5 Is a World team but they were not playing England but who? You may be able to roughly work out the year by the players, -that may help, then again it may not

8 is Paraguay Goalkeeper Chilavert as you say. He has also scored nine goals for Paraguay. Eight of them are on this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGAwjTizCjE

Had him in me world cup dream team a few years back

Despite tecking a few free kicks he daint score for me :(

3 Bradford City , Valley Parade ?

Bradford City was fornerly a rugby ground (assume rugby league) before that it was a quarry. Can see where you were coming from with the Parade bit though

2, 4, 5 8 and 10 to go.

With the exception of no 10 all the answers have a strong Midlands connection :surprise :surprise :surprise

4. Got to be Harry Redknap. West Ham, Portsmouth (twice), Tottenham and QPR. Could count Southampton as well, but I don't think he won many games with them

Harry Rednapp is a good try but he's had more clubs that Digger Conway. He was in deficit at Southampton and level with West Ham.

I'll put the rest of the answers on the next post.

I'm not surprised nobody has the answer to the manager question as it takes a bit of believing, check it out!
