Sporting Trivia Challenge Trophy

[matthew123]

British Lions would have been short hand for British Isles Lions. I think most people in the UK of Scottish, English or Welsh descent will still refer to them as the British Lions even if Lions are synonymous with England.

To answer the question of what they should otherwise have been called, I'd say, HSBC Lions... or whoever is willing to sponsor ;-)

[Narnia]

The only lion I've seen in England was in a zoo!

[matthew123]

What about Terry Butcher... didn't Bobby Robson say he should have got the V.C.!!

But you know 3 Lions on a shirt... England cricket team as well (although only in name)

[????]

Can we have another bleedin' question?

[Narnia]

I'll assume I got the last question right.

Who has scored only 3 career goals for his only club and also managed 3 own goals which were all scored against the same opponents?

[Mick Mac]

Frank Sinclair?

[Narnia]

No Mick. He is a current premiership player.

[red devil]

I'll go for Richard Dunne, Jamie Carragher and long shot Gary Neville

That's correct Red! Bonus for naming the team he conceded them to? I know it's not my turn.

[red devil]

I remember he scored an own goal this season at Spurs and at Anfield against either Stoke or Hull?..

[Narnia]

All three were against Spurs.

[red devil]

I heard this 'fact' whilst watching a Sky game...

Which football club is home to the highest pitch above sea level?

To avoid people googling the answer I'll give a clue and say it is in the Midlands...

[Narnia]

Is it the Hawthornes?

[red devil]

Correct!

[Narnia]

Which black England winger scored a hat trick of tries against Ireland in a match where supposedly Swing Low Sweet Chariot was heard at Twickenham for the first time. I have to say I was there and don't remember it but that's not surprising given the result! Naturally I'm hoping for something different today.

[????]

Rory Underwood?

[Mick Mac]

chris oti. (im with knowledgable rugby pals today).

[Narnia]

Correct Mick!

[Mick Mac]

What european footballer, born in 1926 suffered a serious leg injury which ended his playing career which led him to become a referee. He would later become famous.

[red devil]

Is it the Pope!

[Mick Mac]

Pope - Nope.
