You're right Ted.........or should I call you Father?

Seeing as no NEW question has been asked...

During the 1980s, West Ham scored 8 goals past Newcastle in one League game at Upton Park - who was the Newcastle goalkeeper that night who is also in the records as having played for England but NOT as a goalkeeper?

[Narnia]

I don't think he was THE Newcastle goalkeeper that night but one of three. Peter Beardsley?

[????]

Yup I was there Peter Beardsley was just one of 3...and got a chorus of England, England's number one!, Alvin Martin got a hatrick with a goal against 3 different goalkeepers (which is unique I think).

[matthew123]

correct!

[Narnia]

I played my club rugby in Ireland and Wales, representing my country 29 times, scoring 3 tries. My final games were played in South Africa. Who am I?

Simon Easterby?

Plenty of clues available Mick. How many do you want? Here's a big one/two..........he was Welsh and his club in Ireland was Bective Rangers!

Well done. Must have given one clue too many!

Which international rugby team is the only one to have undertaken an unbeaten tour of New Zealand?

[matthew123]

Depends on what you define as a tour?

So not sure if this qualifies, when France won a Test series 2-0 against the All Blacks, which I think was in the early nineties.

[Dulwich_ Park_ Fairy]

Has to be a tour rather than a test series.

[matthew123]

It would have to be either British Lions or the Springboks. I am going to plump for the Springboks.

[Dulwich_ Park_ Fairy]

nope

[matthew123]

Didn't a combined England & Wales team tour New Zealand at the beginning of the last century - perhaps it is they that have that distinction of an unbeaten tour?

[Mick Mac]

Barbarians?

[????]

Wales? i think I read something in the paper about this at the weekend

[Dulwich_ Park_ Fairy]

nope, nope, and nope.

[Mick Mac]

Is this a "trick" question - is the answer a rugby league team as opposed to union?

[jaybee82]

I'm pretty sure no one has - NZ are currently top of the IRB World Rankings with 92.68 rating points...

...erm...off the top of my head.
