3 -  (dutch ?) reserve gk from the 90's

16- was bit by a duck.

Right with both, Michael Stansgaard or something like that was his name!

Here's a little cracker.
FA Cup. What two teams drew each other in the very same round of the FA Cup three years in succession and the result was identical (even the goals scored and the winners) every time?
No catch but a good q!
I'll have a go at your now but nothing springs to mind straight away!

What era are we looking at ?

Not Everton Liverpool

Huge clue is that all three matches occurred in the 1950s.

There is no catch whatsoever. I was asked this and I didn't get it - nowhere hear to be honest, the 50s is a massive clue but you could try for ever if you didn't know that (I didn't at the time).

Here's one equally as good, if I haven't asked it before.

The home international, that were. Count Ireland as one team for this purpose.

Name one player from each country that played in the home internationals who had a surname ending in I (i)?

You need one from England, one from Scotland, one from Wales and one from Ireland (counting north and south as one), - this is one to remember because as far as I know there has only been the four, remember home internationals, they haven't played them for a few years since. You will be looking back to the 50s, 60s, and 70s and you will almost certainly have heard of all of them :)
