Football Trivia

Pierce O Leary is there and the eccentric Magyar coach Victor Boskovic

The answer is Jan Stejskal (QPR)

He played in the Monday night game at Eastlands against Manchester City

However Iā€™m also claiming Fitzroy Simpson (Jamaica) who played for Manchester City that night, despite him growing up in Bradford

And perhaps Robbie Earle for a similar reason

The safest hands in soccer,

Itā€™s definitely Kerry Dixon.

Gordon was the safest hands, his son Rick was a decent keeper too. The original Schmeichels.

But Rick played with England whereas Gordon represented Scotland with pride

Thatā€™s pretty good, only the fella from the Scotch team to go,

Ronaldo became the second fella to score a hat trick in Italy, Spain and England there last week. Who was the first?

Alexis Sanchez. Simple

Correct. Took me a lot longer but Iā€™d be on the slow side anyway

There are 13 FA Cup final pairings between currently existing Premier League/Football League clubs that have occurred more than once

Without looking at Wikipedia or any other INTERNET or paper record of history, name them and the years they occurred

For bonus points, four of those 13 pairings occurred three times, name them

For even further bonus points, name the FA Cup final pairings between gentlemenā€™s teams in the early days of the competition that occurred more than once

Man U/Arsenal
Man U/Chelsea
Man U/Palace

Man U v Southampton

No

Yes

Liverpool/Everton
Arsenal/Chelsea

Arsenal/Newcastle is another, pretty sure Newcastle beat Arsenal in the 50s in a final and 98 the roles reversed.
