Steve Gerrard?

[david_carnell]

1 out of 2 for you ????

[Ted Max]

Can you give us the four that we have right, D_C?

[????]

Chelsea, Coventry, cardiff and one of mine!

[david_carnell]

Chelsea, Coventry, Cardiff and Charlton are correct so far.

The fifth one is the toughest to get.

The final was played in front of just 6000 people too.

[Ted Max]

Correct, Quids.

I've looked this up. The fifth one is impossible.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Chatham Town FC?

[Narnia]

Chelsea, Cardiff, Coventry, Charlton & Clapham Rovers!

[david_carnell]

Well done Declan.

Indeed it was Clapham Rovers who beat Oxford University 1-0 in 1880 at Kennington Oval, in front of a crowd of 6,000. The wonderfully named Clopton Lloyd-Jones scored the winner.

[Dulwich_ Park_ Fairy]

named Clopton Lloyd-Jones

I can't imagine someone called Clopton Lloyd-Jones roasting aspiring models in hotel bedrooms. They were cut from a different cloth in those days.

[Jimbob]

who was bobby moore,s last international against and the score?

[Narnia]

On a similar vein.........name the four teams in the English Leagues (Prem to League 2) whose names begin and end with the same letter.

Indeed they were DPF as this mini-biog shows:

Educated at Trent College, Lloyd-Jones played for Southill Park for two seasons before joining Clapham Rovers.

He played for them for five years, with that 1880 win over Oxford University being the highlight.

?Clopton?s parents were Welsh ? his father, Charles, was known as the squire of Hanwood ? and that is why he was selected to play for Wales against England in 1885. However, he never gained his cap because he was unavailable for the match,? said Madley.

?At the time of his international selection, he was playing for Castle Blues, in Shrewsbury, who were affiliated to the FA of Wales. He hung up his boots in 1886 when the Blues voluntarily disbanded after being found guilty of violent and dangerous conduct.

?He then represented Shrewsbury on the Shropshire Amateur FA and became deputy captain of the Pengwerne Boat Club in Shrewsbury. He was also a keen cricketer, who played for Herefordshire, Shropshire and Radnorshire county XIs as well as Shrewsbury, Montgomery, Pontesbury and Abbey Foregate at club level.?

He moved from London to Shrewsbury in 1884 and set up business in the town as a bookmaker. He died from cancer of the bladder at the age of 59 and was buried in the Longden Road Cemetery in Shrewsbury.
