Southport Red Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Hello everyone, I am starting a Trivia website www.trivipaedia.com. The idea is to have a kind of Wikipedia for trivia.

Please either post hear or, alternatively, you can contribute directly on the site, so to www.trivipaedia.com and click on 'submit some trivia'. Looking forward to seeing what the community can come up with. Thanks all. SR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catcott_red1 Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Eidour Gudjohnsen came on as a substitute in an international match for Iceland replacing his dad only time its ever happened. Michael Owen has never scored more than 20 league goals in a season, despite people referring to him as 20 goal a season striker. Ian Wright was plucked from non league for a transfer fee of: a set of gym weights Perhaps one of my favourite is when Seth Johson signed for Leeds Utd, Johnson and his agent wanted 13k a week, before they said anything Risdale's offer was 30k a week. Johnson and his agent just looked amazed and said what? Risdale responded with. Ok then 37k a week? They're perhaps the most random I remember.

cider-manc Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Dennis wise is the only player to have won the FA cup in 3 different decades. (Wimbledon x1, Chelsea x2) Tony Adams is the only player to Captain a title winning team in 3 different decades. The 1950 world cup is the only one not to have had a final. Instead the winner was decided by a second group (consisting of the 4 winners of the first round groups) the winner of which won the world cup. Tottenham Hotspur is the only club in the football league whose full name ends with the letter r. (I'm assuming this is still correct- it was a few years back but I can't be bothered to check! It catches a lot of people out as they think it ends with s.) 3 Scotsman have played in Serie A. Dennis Law, Graeme Souness and (of Course) Joe Jordan. There are also only 3 ROI players to have done so but unfortunately I can't remember one of them... Robbie Keane and Liam Brady are 2 of the 3.....

Real Red Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 I think I am right in saying that Bristol Rovers are the only ever league side not to qualify for the 1st Round of the League Cup. One year they had one preliminary round match and they lost it, I think to Boston? Anyone got a better memory than me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downendcity Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Dennis Law once scored 6 goals in a cup match and finished on the losing side. Had to google to check the details, but Law scored all 6 goals for Man City in an FA Cup tie v Luton in 1961, but with Man C leading 6-2 after 69 minutes the match was abandoned because of a waterlogged pitch. They started from scratch at a later date when Luton ran out 3-1 winners ( with Law scoring Man C's goal.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
