Sporting Trivia Challenge Trophy

[Mick Mac]

Prompted by the political question by Steve T, here is my sporting version:

A sporting question is asked, and the person getting the answer must then ask the next question:

The only rule is "no peeking on wikipedia"

Here is my starter for ten:

Who was the first British footballer to score in 2 different european cup/champions league finals:

[lozzyloz]

Steve Gerard

[Narnia]

Tommy Gemmel - Celtic

Assuming I'm correct here is my question.......

Who scored Irelands only try against the All Blacks the only time they didn't lose to them?

[Mick Mac]

Well done Declan - for those who do not know, Tommy Gemmell scored for Celtic in 2 European Cup Finals, in 1967 v Inter Milan (won 2-1) and against Feyenoord 1970 (lost 2-1).

I'm afraid I have not got a clue on your question...I'll guess Michael Gibson

[Narnia]

Not the right answer Mick. I'll give a clue. His first name was Tom and his nickname was Fish!

[Mick Mac]

Is that the chap who managed Munster to their victory over All blacks? Was that Tom Kiernan? Read a book about that once, but my memory is v poor.

[bignumber5]

trick question - ireland have never beaten the all blacks.

[bignumber5]

AH but just re-read your question-post - so who scored when they drew?

I think they drew at some point in the 70's, but I'm afraid it was before my time. Any older rugby fans know this one?

[Narnia]

Tom Kiernan played in the match but it wasn't him!

[Dulwich_ Park_ Fairy]

Terry Moore?

[Narnia]

I did give a clue that his first name was Tom.............so not Terry Moore

[Dulwich_ Park_ Fairy]

Sorry didn't see the clue...Grace.

[Narnia]

Correct....Tom Grace of St.Mary's College. It was a 10-10 draw in 1973. Your turn!

[Dulwich_ Park_ Fairy]

What Football team's strip did Juventus copy for theirs? (Extra point if you know why)

[Narnia]

Notts County...........I'm don't know why

[Mick Mac]

If it is Notts County - is it because they are the oldest club in football?

[Dulwich_ Park_ Fairy]

Well done, will raise the bar next time. Like a lot of Italian teams, they were started by an English ex-pat. He ordered there first set of shirts in England and asked for them to be a copy of Nottingham Forest's.......

I presume you mean Notts County?

[SteveT]

Which team threw out their manager whilst they were at the top of the division, for not being successful enough?

[Dulwich_ Park_ Fairy]

I presume you mean Notts County?

No, the shirt manufacturers made a mistake. By rights Juventus should be playing in red

[Mick Mac]

I think it Declans question, as he correctly answered the old one.

But nevertheless Steve T - it might be a Real Madrid manager who won the league but that was not good enough - maybe Capello?

From what I've read they used to play in pink and black stripes. They ordered a new strip fron Nottingham in 1903 as they weren't produced in Italy at that time, and received Notts County's black and white stripes, which they kept.

An easy one I think.................whose name is associated with the most used technique by athletes in the high jump?

[david_carnell]

Dick Fosbury and his eponymous flop.
