The second one is my favourite ever football question, good work Ace. The answer is Trevor Brooking I believe.

First question - first goal for his country on his home ground ?

Is it something really trivial or do some of us stand a chance of actually getting it right?!

Just being pedantic here, but surely the answer is "Brooking"... no more, no less. For the answer to be "Trevor Brooking" the question would need to be

1979 Alan Sunderland
1980 ?
1981 Ricky Villa

Which would give the game away!

!grin!

Does it have anything to do with him having 21 on his shorts and front of his shirt, and 12 on the back?

(That's the only thing I vaguely remember the sheepskin coat clad bore saying)

Fuck me Bob, you got it. The ONLY player to represent his country with mis-matched numbers on his shirt and shorts. Obviously the kit man does'nt give 2 fucks about what he sends the lads out in.
Good shout!

It's probably all Peter Crouch will ever be remembered for!!

I didn't think things could get any worse than Emille Heskey wearing an England shirt... but Crouch??? !thumbsdown!

Apparently Mick Channon is to be the new Sunderland manager. He said he has acheived all he can training horses, now he wants to try with donkeys.
