*Official* English Football Season 2008-2009

[GIMH]

LOL, too easy when i throw trivia out there. Might as well ask y'all who the top scorer for Tranmere has been the last three years.

 

[Matteh]

John Achterberg.

 

[GIMH]

Achterberg's only ever played in two divisions in this country tbh. Though he did play the Masters Grand Final and League One footy in the same season

 

[Matteh]

"I remember, in 1986-87, that Tranmere keeper Eric Nixon became the first player to play in all four divisions in the same season," remembers Nick Davies. "Has anyone matched this since?"

It has indeed been done since - by Tony Cottee, who played for Leicester (Premiership), Norwich (First Division), Millwall (Second Division) and Barnet as Player/Manager (Third Division) in 2000-01, before giving it all up to become a fast-talking pundit.

 

[GIMH]

Yeah, Cottee was the one I had in mind as the other player. It's what made me guess him for your question itbt.

 

[Matteh]

Which player played in the Manchester Derby, the Scouse Derby and the Milan Derby?

 

[fredfertang]

Who scored the greatest goal ever scored - that just happened to be against Tranmere Rovers?

 

[Matteh]

Which crappy team's floodflights broke making sure that Mansfield stayed up for another few days in 2001-02 Corrin?

 

[GIMH]

Kanchelskis

Not sure on this one, who's your team?

They didn't break, why would the floodlights breaking affect a match on a Saturday afternoon in April. Some local nut climbed up them and wouldn't come down. We all got in free for the rematch.

 

[fredfertang]

The late great Robin Friday of course - I thought everyone knew that

 

[Matteh]

Kanchelskis

Nope

 

[GIMH]

****. Kanchelskis is the answer to a different question, this one is Ince.

The Kanchelskis one is mersey/manc/old firm

 

[grecian]

Which player played in the Manchester Derby, the Scouse Derby and the Milan Derby?

Anelka?

 

[Matteh]

It's Ince.

 

[Uppercut]

Dammit, i knew that one too.

Kanchelskis is the Scouse, Manchester and Glasgow derbies IIRC. Anelka's a good one too- North London, Madrid, Manchester, Liverpool. Although he must have missed out on at least one of those considering how short-lived his time was at some of those teams.

 

[Uppercut]

What player has won the Fourth, Third, and Second tier leagues of English football, the FA cup, the Carling Cup and the Champions League- but never the Premiership?

 

[Matteh]

The fact they've won the cups but not the Prem suggests a Liverpool player. Steve Finnan was at Fulham iirc, not sure how long here was there though, will go for him anyway.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Anelka?

Never played for a Milan club AFAIK.

Yeah, good shout

 

[Craig]

It's Ince.

I would of said Silvestre.

Never played for a Milan club AFAIK.

You are correct once again.
