Conference trucks::football;1

    Just as we are about to enter a new league campaign and with all teams
    in an optimistic mood, how about one or two questions on the league?
    
    1. Which team have won the Eng. championship on a record 18 occasions?
    
    2. Which big and famous club have failed to win the Eng. league for an
       astonishing 24 years?
    
    3. Which team have won the league 11 times in the last 18 years?
    
    4. How many championships did Dave Sexton, Tommy Docherty, Big Ron &
       Alex Ferguson guide Man Utd. to?
    
    5. What striker's stunning strikes guided Liverpool to their 17th
       championship success in 1988?.
    
    6. Which team had a record under the old two point system of 16 goals
       conceeded, 85 scored and a total of 68 points?
    
       That's all for now and if any of you need any clues, I will be glad
       to help.
    
       Wishing every team the best of luck for the new season,
                       Martin.

     Ref: last 2
    
     I'm praying for Liverpool to have another season just like the last
     so they'll run out of money and start down a path that will secure 
     them an eternal place in the second division. Maybe then they
     can sign TGA (AS defined in topic 10 by some wise fan).

    Which player played for 5 different managers last season
    
    Any ideas
    
    jm

    David Speedie????

    Someone who started off the season with club "a", sacked their manager
    after 5 games and took on a new one, then bought by Kenny Dalgleish,
    later managed by Graeme "Hacker" Souness, then played for their country
    in the European qualifying round, any Liverpool fans out there know who
    fits this description?
    
    Stevie "Bites yer b*ll*cks" Campbell

    
    Jimmy Carter ... ?
    
    Two at Millwall and Kenny the Dog, Ronnie Moran and Souness at the Red
    Sh*te.

    Would it be the person who scored a hatrick saved a penalty was taken
    off and later brought on again all in the first half of an F.A. cup
    final........

    Okay pop-pickers, let's start it up again. A musical flavour to this one.
    Name the two"pop" stars:
    
    1. Small fat and bald, drums with a rock dinosaur that produces 
    dinosaur droppings about every five years. Houswives favourite too
    he has enjoyed an obscene amount of success in his solo career and 
    is a mate of Simon Bates. Worst of all he's a Tottenham supporter.
    
    2. Tall lanky dark Irishman. Sadly no longer with us. Played in
    Ireland's finest "rock" band. Supported Manchester Utd. Still, I 
    forgive him. 
    
    Bonus points awarded to the person who names the album by guest
    celeb no 2's band which featured guest celeb no1 1 on percussion.
    Released in 1976 (giving it away!)

    Jailbreak was released in '76, I think.  But I don't remember Philo
    getting a credit on it.
    
    Mike M

    It was the "Johnny the Fox" album, Mike. Don't get many acts who 
    release 2 albums a year anymore do you? I've had it for years but
    only last week noticed the credit for Mr Collins. He probably shook
    a maraca or something.

    Here's a serious question/ info required.
    
    My son was given an old football jersey by a cousin, and I'd like to 
    know what the team is. Here are the details:-
    
    1) It has blue and black stripes.
    2) It has Rumminegge's name and the number 11 on the back.
    3) The sponsor's name is "MISURA"
    
    Can anybody help?
    
    Cheers,
    Archie (SQF)
    

    re last
    That's the Internazionale Milan shirt... Karl-Heinz Rumminegge played
    with them a few years back, but I didn't think they put the player's
    name on the back like they often do in American sports...

    
    Tom,
    
    I'm not sure if this is a real Inter shirt. It is possible that it is
    a fan shirt and in fan shirts they often put the players name on the
    back. I think the club shirt does not have the player's name on it.

    Re - Celtic question....
    
    McNeill and Simpson....
    
    missed only one league game each....
    
    John Clark and Tommy Gemmell played all season, 34 LGE,10 L/CUP,
     6 SCO/CUP and 9 EURO/CUP games.
     

    
    Thanks to Tom and Gunter for the replies to my query on the shirt.

    Which player started off an illustrious career with South Liverpool
    before joining Newport county where he became a prolific scorer. He
    then went on to join Oxford where the goals continued to come. From
    there he joined his beloved Liverpool scoring over 60 goals in two 
    seasons and winning the FA cup and league championship. He then went on
    to join Spanish outfit, Real Sociedad again scoring lots of goals. At
    the moment, he is banging in the goals for Tranmere Rovers.
    
    Cunno.

    Here he goes again...

    re .-2

    Martin,
             I would hazard a guess, but would the same aforementioned
    striker be Roy (Race) of the Rovers. -)

    Can't think of ANYONE who fits that description......

    
    
    Ok try these 2
    
    Name all the players with 4 letters in their surname that played for
    England since 1966?  I have 14 but there may be more.
    
    Name the 7 black players that have played for Manchester United.
    
    Gary.

    Utd players... just a guess...

    Adam, you're correct of course but I'd forgotten about Paul Parker.
    
    There is one more.  (at least).
    
    Gary.

    
    Big Ron didn't take Batson up there did he ?
    
    I'm struggling now !....
    
    
    
    Adam.

This is hard... OK Gary, I'll start with a few obvious ones...

Alan Ball
Colin Bell
Neil Webb

but how about some of these:

Gordon West
David Webb
Tony Book
Colin Todd
Ian More (or was it Moor?) though I'm not sure about this one...

but not of course:

Joe Cool?

    Garth Crooks was the 8th black player to play for Man United.
    
    
    Re 4 letter surnames,
    
    The 12 in .55 are correct as is Ricky Hill in .56.  I also have Steve
    Hunt and Gordon West but I did not have Gary Shaw.
    
    Gary.

    
    	I don't think Gordon West (of Everton?) ever actually got a full
    	cap. He was in the squad on countless occasions, and I think went
    	to Mexico as the third keeper (?) but did he ever play? I'm not
    	so sure.....
    
    	Andy.

    
    Gordon West refused to go to Mexico with the English team but i 
    can,t remember why ??????????
    
    
    
    
    Any info ???????????

Trying to think of 4 letter words for England players is pretty easy after
Wednesday's Turkeytrot. Didn't Peter Ward get a cap when he was at Brighton
(just before the basket case spent megabucks to take him to Forest).

    Q. Who was the first person in the history of Scottish football to be
       booked for running off of the park after scoring a goal.

    
    	Steve Kirk??   Aberdeen v Motherwell Scottish cup tie last year?
    
    
    John A.
    

    
    I can remember Derek Parlane being booked for this during a Scottish
    Cup Semi-Final match against Ayr United in 1973,but i'm not sure if
    he was the first.

    When was the last time Leeds Utd. were top of the League Div. 1 and
    who were the top 5 teams on that day. Also, how many points had they
    and how many games played.
    
    

    
    re: last
    
    Some of the answers ...
    
    Last day of the 1973-74 season.
    Don't know the top 5 but Liverpool were 2nd.
    Don't know the points but games played was 42.

    Leeds went top in October 1973 and stayed there.
    
    jb.

    Answer.....
    
    
    Leeds were last top of Div.1 at the end of the 1974 season.
    the top five teams were Leeds,Liverpool,Derby Co.,Ipswich,Burnley.
    they ammased a total of 62 points from 42 games under the old 2 point 
    system.

    
    I thought Leeds were top for the entire 73-74 season (the only
    team to manage this so far). They did start with 7 or 8 straight
    wins and were unbeaten until the 30th game.

    Who was the first player to win a full England cap whilst playing for a
    Scottish club?

    That's too easy for a Gooner Mike. Whoops there's a clue.

    OK, Peter, if the last one is too easy for you try these Arsenal
    related questions:
    
    1) Who was the first Arsenal player to captain England?
    
    2) Who was the last Arsenal player to be the Football League's top

    		Hass... 

    OK Mike. These are a lot tougher. I'll need to go home and consult a
    book or two for these so my answers are guesses.
    
    BTW was I right about the previous question - Joe Baker was the first 
    English international while playing for a Scottish club (Hibs)? Joe is
    one of my all-time favourite Gunners.

    	Cliff "Boy" Bastin
    
    4) What is Arsenal's lowest position ever in the Football League at the
       end of a season?
    
    	about 10th in Division 2
    
    5) In relation to the 1970/71 double season what do Leeds, Southampton
       and Crystal Palace have in common?
    
    	They were the only teams to get a point at Highbury

    I'm impressed, Peter.  4 and 5 are correct as is Joe Baker.  To save
    you delving into any reference books I'll give you some clues on 1-3.
    
    1) Who was the first Arsenal player to captain England?

    good shot.
    what fish do you want Jon?
    

Here's a good one to end the week on...

Which footballer appeared at No 1 Court of the Old Bailey in 1981 ?

Clue. He played for Arsenal.

    Peter Storey ? - wasn't he caught distributing 'naughty' videos ?
    
    Paul

    Nope. 

    
    Alan Sunderland perhaps.

    
    yeah I'll go along with that .. wasn't it that famous 
    "offensive home perm" charge ?
    
    CHris

    Yeah, Alan Sunderland, I think.  It was a manslaughter charge for
    knocking someone down and killing them.
    
    Mike M 

    Wasn't the Old Bailey though was it ?

    The player concerned was not charged with any offence.

  
    	..then it was either jury service or giving evidence...hmmmmm
    
    	tricky!
    
    	Andy.

    Give up then lads, or do you want the weekend to think about it 8-)

    Perhaps, Willie Young had fallen on hard times and was doing a spot of
    busking on the steps outside.
    
    Mike M 

You are going to kill me for this, but it makes good trivia, right? Anyway:

As a spectator Pat Jennings attended the opening day of the trial of Peter
Sutcliffe, the Yorkshire Ripper.

    course, silly me, i should have known....
    Ian.
    :-(
    

    Dave, that is without question, the most boring question about Arsenal
    in this topic! And it's got some pretty stiff competition! ;-]

    Oh come on Steve !! What else do we all have to think about on a
    Friday afternoon ?

    
    Here's a quick one for all you gurus.....
    
    Name the only current first division manager to score in an FA Cup
    final.
    
    Paul

    
    Porterfield - Chelsea

    re -1 Cloughie ?

    
    re .113
    
    Correct - obviously too easy

Didn't George Graham get credited with the equaliser versus Liverpool in '71,
even though Eddie Kelly got the final touch? Or was it vice versa?

Bob

    A few more questions.....
    
    1 - Against which club did Accrington Stanley play their last Football
    League match ?
    
    2 - Which was the last of the present third division teams to reach an
    FA Cup final ?
    
    3 - Which two Oldham players have scored in a Manchester 'derby'
    match ?
    
    4 - Against which two clubs has John Aldridge played his last two FA
    cup games ?
    
    5 - Name the last Nigerian born player to play for England in a full
    international ?
    
    6 - Two teams from which City were knocked out of the first round of
    the FA Cup ? (clue it wasn't London)
    
    7 - Prior to Mo Johnston - who was the last player to join Everton from
    Glasgow Rangers ?
    
    8 - What are the National soccer colours of El Salvador ?
    
    These questions are open to all noters - except KERNEL::HAWLEYI who's

    Re the player playing in all four divisions - was it in one YEAR or one
    SEASON ?

Re. -1

I think it was one YEAR. A little more probable than in one season as he would 
then have needed three transfers and not two.

                                 James.

    This is a guess... what about Gary Penrice? I seem to remember him
    moving around Bristol City (?), Watford and Villa fairly quickly? I
    can't think what the 4th could be though - maybe a loan spell, or did
    City get promoted? (don't think so...)
    
    Or I could be completely wrong...

    		Jeff
    
    
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    In all instances, it is NOT a goal, it is NOT a corner kick.  It is
    simply, a restart!!!  I said that the ball was outside the GOAL AREA,
    Not outside the PENALTY AREA!!  On a free kick within the penalty area,
    the ball must travel the GREATER of one circumference, or the distance
    to OUTSIDE the penalty line.
    
    If the ball had been outside the penalty area, then all four cases
    would have been a goal.  If it had been an INDIRECT kick outside the
    penalty area then case C would be a corner kick (all others being
    goals).
    
    In the next note, I'll ask another question.  (Unless I'm boo'd out of
    the conference.)
    
    			Jeff-the-Ref
    
    

    What is the closest a defender can get to the ball when the offensive
    team has a direct kick?  What if it's an indirect kick?
    
    
    

    
    We are talking free kick here ??
    
    
    1) Ten yards is the distance a player (defender) must be from 
       the ball before the free kick is taken whether its indirect 
       or direct. 
    
    2) He can get as close as he likes once the ball has been moved
       by the offensive player, whether direct or indirect.
    
    3) "Quick" free kicks can be taken and in these cases defending 
       players may be right on top of the ball. Not all refs like
       quick free kicks though, especially near the penalty area.
    
    The above is more than likely wrong but free kicks for the offensive
    team can occur in the penalty area. The distance rule I do not know
    about in this case.

    Sorry.  It depends, but the ball in ALL cases must move AT LEAST 27
    inches (one circumference), not "has been moved.." We studied a case
    where an indirect was "touched" by one player and then kicked in by the 
    second player. (It was a retake).

    Correct.  We studied this while discussing penalties within the goal
    area.
    
    Any indirect kick awarded within the goal area of the defending team,
    will be moved to just over the goal area line.  The defenders can set
    up a wall on the goal line between the goal posts.   (Obviously, for a
    direct kick, the 10 yd rule ALWAYS applies. Because, in the case of a
    direct kick within the goal area, a penalty kick would be awarded)
    
    Anyone else have any other "tricky" Laws of the Games questions?

    I'm off for a five weeks vaction, and since no one has guessed the
    correct aswer i will reveal it to you.
    
    In 1975 Uruguay played Chile in a friendly in Santiago. The referee was
    a certain Sergio Vasquez. A fight broke out on the field and Mr.
    Vasquez issued no less than 19 red cards.
    
    The story doesn't tell if the game continued.....
    
    Mats
    
    

    >  .... I don't know if the game continued...
    
    It depends on how many folks who got red cards were "players".  There's
    a minimum numbers of players needed in order for a match to continue.
    (I think it's 7 or 8 for each team -- I have a "crib sheet" at home
    to remind me since each of the leagues I ref has different rules.  You
    might also be interested in the fact that the number of players needed 
    to Start a match is often larger than the number needed to continue 
    the match)
    
    You can give a coach or substitute a red card but that would not effect
    the number of players ALLOWED on the field.  (Of course, you wouldn't
    have any sub's left to go into the game should a player need to come
    out).  Also, if the fight broke out BEFORE the game officially began,
    then that too would not effect the number of players ALLOWED to play.
    
    Also, it would depend on the number of cards given to each team.  
    Let's say that each team had two coaches, and 15 members on their
    roster (4 subs).  That's 34 people all together.  Suppose all 4 coaches
    got cards; then 15 roster people must have gotten carded.  Suppose all 
    the subs got carded, that leaves 22 "Players" and 7 remaining cards.  If 
    there were an even distribution, one team would have 8 players left on the 
    field and the other would have 7. (Possibly meeting the (I think) 7 minimum
    requirement).
    
    HOWEVER!!!  I doubt that the above happened.  I would be willing to bet
    that the match was abandoned due to lack of having the minimum number
    of players.
    
    Boy I'm glad I didn't have to ref that match.

    This is not so much a quiz,more of a note to get you thinking.(Parti
    cularly all the Scots).
    
     Can you name all the centre forwards that Rangers have
     sold since 1986,(I've counted 8,but there could be more).
    
    Happy hunting,

    I don't really give a toss (but I heard Richard Gough only charges a
    fiver for one !), but I'll have a go anyway
    
    John Spencer
    Kevin Drinkell
    Mark Falco
    Paul Rideout
    Andy Kennedy (or was that too long ago ?)
    Robert Fleck
    Mo Johnston (la petite merde)
    Colin West
        
    That's as many as I can get !
    
    
    

    
    What about Andy Gray....Free transfer to Sky Sports.
    And Derek Johnstone......Free to Super Scoreboard 92
    Bobby Williamson......now with Killie
    Neil Woods.....to Bolton?.....another well known Souness signing...

    Mmmm, another note prompted this. It is, I think, a Trivial Pursuit 
    question:
    
    What football team do the crew in "Das Boot" support?  
    
    barry.  

    
    Offenbach Kickers ?

    re .219
    
    I'm sure that's what they would have liked to do, be it an
    impossible task but, no, I can't quite envisage a German U-Boat 
    crew supporting a Rusky team.

Manchester United??

    Tut! Clue time. As far as I know they are the only team in the
    Bundersliga who are'nt named after a German city/town. Now that's

    I'd hazard a guess at late 76, early 77 for Clough taking over at
    Forest. He lasted something in the region of 40 days at Leeds after
    leaving Derby did'nt he. And then it was Brighton for a while before
    Forest???

    Yes, the Boer War. Spion Kop, if I remember rightly, was a hill where 
    a large number of British soldiers were massacred and returning 
    servicemen remembered their dead by naming the standing embankments 
    of a good few clubs after said hill. The first club to unofficially 
    use it are still around but don't play at the site anymore.

Name 4 "sets" of players that played in a championship winning side, played
in the same international team, and went on to manage the same club.
The club they managed is not necessarily the club they won the championship
with.

Take for example Strachan and McAllister.
They won a championship medal with Leeds, they both played in the same 
International side, and lets say thet they both went on to manage Chelsea.
Get the drift of the question.

    First set easy....
     
                   Dalglish & Souness
     Don't know the rest 8-)

    Football?
    
     Which single player scored the most goals during the `Souness' years
    at Ibrox?

Eddie Gray and Billy Bremner

    Did Nobby Stiles & Bobby Charlton both manage Preston ??? after playing
    for Man Utd & England.

    Kendall & Harvey ?

    Most goals v Rangers in "Souness" years:

The black players who played with United are correct the others are...

Arthur Graham
Jim Holton ( who? )
Peter Barnes
Jimmy Greenhoff
Brian Greenhoff
Jonny Giles
Andy Ritche
Gordan McQueen
Joe Jordan
Gordan Strachan
Denis Irwin
Eric Cantonna
 
                          James.

    
    Sorry,misunderstood the question.
    Don't think Stein was either.

�� Jim Holton ( who? )

Where did you get this answer from.
 
Mickey Thomas also played for United and Leeds.
Holton Played for United in "The Docs" time and then went on to Coventry.
I don't think he played for Leeds.

�@

Stiles and Charlton, United, England, and Preston.
Gray and Brenmer, Leeds, Scotland, and Leeds.
Souness and Dalglish, Liverpool, Scotland, and Liverpool.
 
I also have one more set.

Graham and McLintock is incorrect. McLintock won his last cap in 71' and 
Graham won his first in 72'.

    Do Alex McDonald and Sandy Jardine count since both co-managed Hearts?

They never played in the same international team. McDonald won only 1 cap
in 1976 against Sweden and Jardine did not play in that game.

    I previously entered this question in the MUFC note, but everyone has
    ignored it, probably 'cos they thought I was just crowing over United's 
    championship success. However, this is a serious point.
    
    Please can someone name the top scorer ( and no. of league goals scored ) 
    for each of the first division champions over the last 10 years.
    
    My assumption is that teams which win the league have a number of
    players who are scoring goals - not just one player who has an
    outstanding season. For example, how well did Spurs do in the league the 
    year Clive Allen scored 50+ goals.

    Re -1, I heard this before and one of the answers is Tommy Tynan. 
    Apparently he didn't play for the Liverpool first team according to
    the all time expert on Liverpool strikers, Cunno.

    Tommy Tynan was a popular Tranmere player. Don't believe he was ever
    on Liverpool's books. (Does that mean I agree with TGC?)

    "Ian McDonald is from Inverness is he not ?"
    
    
    
    YES I am as a matter of fact. However have not played for the 'GERS.
    
    
    
    Ian Macdonald

    
    Sal,(and all others).
    
    I think the Mcdonald in question was named Kevin who was indeed a Scot
    and was brought on loan from Liverpool.
    
    Did Steven Watson play a couple of games last season? if so,then he is
    another. 

    
    Well here's the correct list(as far as I know)

  Nigel Howard may be English,but he's not played for the first team.
  Levi Smith IS Scottish and still plays for Rangers(reserves)

    Matt, a word in your ear.
    
    Just in case it's featured in the "What Happened Next?" round next
    week, learn the following by heart:
    
    "In the ?th minute of extra time, Hurst turned on the edge of the
    penalty area and crashed a fierce right foot shot against the underside
    of the bar. The ball riocheted down, hit the ground and came out,
    leaving some doubt as to whether the ball crossed the line. The
    Swiss referee conferred with his Russian linesman for a few agonizing
    seconds and then ran towards the centre circle, indicating a goal. 
    
    England went on to beat W. Germany 4-2 to take the Jules Rimet trophy 
    and Geoff Hurst bcame the first man to score a hat-trick in a World Cup
    Final".
    
    
    There you are, that's 6(?) easy points without even trying ;-)

    So what was the Undertones' first ?

    help a poor Irishman win a tenner....
    
    today's Daily Record asks the following question....
    
    which two current players whose surname ends in "o" have been capped
    for England?...
    
    Salako of Crystal Palace is one. Who's the other?...
    
    Ray....

Tony Dorigo

Robbo?? 

Stuo 

    Aldo - oops wrong country ..

    calling Cunno....today's Moaning Face Scottish Rag, (Daily Record), had 
    something interesting about Liverpool. Apparently they won the FA Cup in 
    86 without an `English' player playing for them....name the team, 
    (obviously this rules out all Moaning Face Scottish Rag readers)....
    
    here's a start....
    
    Brucie `Play Your Cards Right' Grobelaar
    
    Ray....

Rush....ummm......Hansen, Molby (?), er....Souness (?), McMahon, that 
Scandinavian blokey who looked like the dark one out of Bucks Fizz.

    Craig Johnston?

Nicol? 

    
    	What dark one in Bucks Fizz ? Do you mean Cheryl Baker ? Or is
    that Brotherhood of Man ?
    
    Malc.
    

    > Or is that Brotherhood of Man ?
    
    Wasn't that Bruce Forsyth's daughter?
    
    Stuart

    
    > Wasn't that Bruce Forsyth's daughter?
    
    	Are you sure she played for Liverpool in that team ? I could have
    sworn she was English actually. Now if she was Tam Forsyth's daughter...
    
    Malc.
    

    
    OK,here's my attempt;
    
    Grobelaar,Nicol,Lawrenson.Hansen,Staunton(or Beglin),
    
    Houghton, Molby, Johnston, Whelan
    
    Dalglish, Aldridge

    
    Name 5 players,who have played with Moan Utd in the last 15 years,
    whose surnames can be associated with spiders.
    
    

    
    1. Ince-y wincy spider.
    2. Bruce - as in "Robert the", he was fond of spiders.
    3. Is Schmeical danish for spider??? :-)

Alfa Romeo?

Hysen!  Hysen!  That's the bloke I was thinking of!  It was pronounced summat 
like "Hussain", by Motty.  

    
    For heavens sake Matt, get back in the Rugby conference and give us the
    results from last weekend.

Don't Know, but I believe Andy Gorman has played cricket and football for 
Scotland

    9.421 was correct.

    
    A team,I think it was Portsmouth,won the FA cup and never scored a
    goal.......how come?

    was it no ManU and Jimmy Never scored the goal ???
    

    
    Well done.
    
    Can you name two managers who have managed two different Premiership
    Championship winning teams.
    
    Davie.
    
    

    If by Premiership you include the old 1st division, then that would be
    Cloughie and Dalglish (spit !)

    
    Kenny D. (Liverpool & Rovers)
    
    Alex F.  (Man U & Aberdeen ;-))
    
    Nev.

Daglish and Hubert Chapman ('uddersfield and Arsenal).

Chapman was also manager of Leeds for a short while I think.

    re -1
    
    Herbert Chapman was manager of the now defunct Leeds City. He was
    manager when they were expelled from the Football League for an illegal
    payments scandal. Chapman was subsequently banned for life but this was
    revoked on appeal. 
    
    A precendent that certain other Arsenal managers seem sure to follow.
    
    Stuart

Re -1

And from Leeds City came the even greater club: Leeds United.

If the FA had the b*alls now that they had then, we wouldn't have either
Swindon or Spurs gracing the football fields of England anymore.

                          James.

    
    There are three men who have managed two different Championship
    winning sides,Cloughie,Dalglish and Chapman.
    I only asked for two as I didn`t think many people would know of
    Chapman.

    Who did clough do it with....Notty Forest and ???

    derby county

    Can anyone name any players that have played for both Liverpool and
    Man Utd.
    
    p.s. I don`t have an answer to this.We thought about it and couldn`t 
         come up with any.
    

    
    Peter Beardsley 
    

    I've heard it said that he's too good looking to play for Man U...

re -.1

And what makes it even more remarkable, is that it was in the same game ;-)

    here's a good one from the QPR mailing list....
    
    if it was Sunderland in 1979 and Villa in 81 who was it in 95?...

I was asked this question last night, but didn't know the answer.  Maybe 
someone can help me out.

Who was the German goalkeeper in the 1966 World Cup final?
