Nobody is getting the Rotor Volgograd manager so you may as well give us that one ?

It was Mariupol native Viktor Yevhenovych Prokopenko (RIP), who died of a heart attack aged 62 in Odesa in August 2007.

Obviously I knew all that and did not have to Netscape it.

Not a penalty shoot out. Away goals.

Poyet, Silva, Lampard and Branfoot are correct.

Two left.

Real Madrid guy at Boro - karanka? Him or Pulis anyway

Second finest moment in that city’s history!
It was Torpedo Moscow I was thinking of - Ince blazed over. Was away.
Schmeichel scored against Stalingrad afair

Karanka is correct.

The remaining answer has managed in the Premier League.

PSG last night became the second club to twice eliminate Liverpool at Anfield in a two legged European knockout tie (the first time being the 1997 Cup Winners’ Cup semi-final).

Name the other club which has done this.

Atletico Madrid. 2010(?) and 2020.

Correct. Both times with sucker punch goals in extra time after Liverpool had gone ahead in the tie in extra time.

Am I correct in remembering Diego Forlan scoring late on the first time round?

I don’t know, I don’t recall watching that match.

Apart from PSG and Atletico Madrid, 14 other clubs have eliminated Liverpool in official UEFA-sanctioned European knockout football at Anfield (so Ferencvaros 1968 doesn’t count because it was in the Fairs Cup which was not an official UEFA sanctioned European competition).

Name them and the years. Hint: Six of them are in the 1990s (PSG is one of them, so five others from the 90s).

Real Madrid
Benfica
Valencia
Genoa
Celtic

Forest

Atalanta

They lost to 3 Warsaw pact teams in early 80s. Lost in extra time in Bulgaria so not them. Tbilisi or Lodz are surely another

Valencia is wring, other four are correct

Yes, the cunts

No

Brondby won at Anfield in the 90s - no idea if it was second leg though

Twas, Halloween night 1995.

Widzew Lodz is one. I pronounce it Wid-zoo Lods but the correct pronunciation is probably something ridiculous like Vud-chef Vuhhhtch.
