question 1 is he failed a dope test, and question 4 is the losers ribbons.
no idea about the rest.
Right on both counts, Seb - well done!
So Seb takes a two point lead over the rest of the world... but for how long? :-)
Q2 - Charlton Athletic only ever played in the two immediate FA Cup finals, and in both, the ball burst.
The ref had reckoned the odds of the ball bursting as 1,000,000-1 on the radio before the 1946 final.
I'm dying to find out about question 4. I'm currently managing exeter city (rather badly as it happens) in FM2009.
Quite right, Phil. The ball burst in both the 1946 and 1947 finals, thereby leading to the use of a solid lead ball in 1948. Sorry, made that last bit up.
Seb, you've only got, ooh... 20-odd hours to wait now. It'll soon pass... :)
Q5...Fulfilling a fixture (against Scunthorpe)
Q3 would be Pele, I guess, seeing as Santos played at Fulham in a friendly that year.
Thank you Google... :)
Well done, CaptRJSpaulding - Exeter were the first team to be fined for not turning up, effectively.
And Matt, you're absolutely right too - Pele is the man we're looking for in Question 3... what an intelligent bunch you all are!
Look out for more quiz questions coming soon as part of SPAOTP's Advent Calendar, but for now, well done to everyone that's taken part!
