westred1 Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Manchester City were the last team to win the top division in England with all British players in 1967-68. (I think that's right?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf Hucker Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Joe Baker was the first footballer to play for England despite never having previously played in any of the English leagues - born in Liverpool of Scottish parents, moved to Scotland and played for Hibs. Whilst there, he was selected to play for England v N. Ireland in 1959 and in doing so also became the first player to be picked for England whilst playing for a club outside of the English league system. Incidentally, one other player has been picked to play for England despite never having previously played in any of the English Leagues. His name ...

Cap flinger Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Dave Beasant? Alan Shearer?beasant is correct, not shearer though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downendcity 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..... Ian "Paddy" Rush Rush said when he was playing for Juventus that he couldn't settle in Italy because it was like living in a foreign country.

TRL Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Dave Beasant? Alan Shearer? Surely not Shearer, he only played for 3 prem clubs. Andy Cole as far as I know scored for 6 prem clubs, maybe 7. I'm not sure that record goes to Cole, but certainly more than shearer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillies Downs Leeds Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Misread the question - is it Darren Bent? I think it is Marcus Bent, think he has played for the most premier league clubs and being a striker you would have hoped scored for the most.

Aizoon Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Not by me they're not and what vital security role did Wolverhampton Wanderers play during WW II ? OK I'll answer that myself. During the Battle of Britain, suspected Nazi paratroopers were asked to say "Wolverhampton Wanderers", in the belief that their beastly Hunnish mouths wouldn't be able to cope with the two W's.

pongo88 Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 When Duncan Edwards signed for Man Utd the signing on "fee" was a new washing machine for his mother. Bristol City, although an English club, won the Welsh cup in 1934. Bristol City's first floodlights were designed and built by the chairman's own company.
