Sporting Trivia Challenge Trophy

[red devil]

I set the orignal question and remember Buxton is supposed to have the 'highest' football ground...

[ruffers]

I think it's the Albion in the tems of the question isn't it?

What was the first Premiership game shown live on Sky Sports?

[Mick Mac]

Not the answer to the question Ruffers, but I do remember the first ever live league game - Tottenham v Nottingham Forest - must have been about 1983ish. Just for general interest.

But I have no idea of the first live sky game - but will go with, Arsenal v MU as a wild guess.

[red devil]

Hang on, I've just re-read the question, it's something to do with Wembley, right?

[ruffers]

Neither Arsenal or Man U featured, but both teams do play in red.

Bed time now anyway for me so if you get it right, or wrong, then just crack on eh?

[Mick Mac]

OK - Liverpool v Someone else in red - does that get us half way there?

[ruffers]

It does

[Mick Mac]

Ruffers - why does it take you 24+ minutes to get to bed.

Anyway, another guess - Charlton?

[ruffers]

Keep counting...

Not Charlton, but right in that the team is very much outside the Premier league, Premiership whatever we're supposed to call it these days. The top division.

[Mick Mac]

Bristol City?

[ruffers]

Nope.

Team X vs Liverpool

In red, not in top flight any more

Nottm Forest v Liverpool

Teddy Sheringham scored the only goal, 1-0, I was there :'(

Springfield Park was the answer. The "grassy knoll" at one end.

Thread ran out of steam so :

Who did Ruby Walsh ride to win his first Grand National and what was the family connection?

[red devil]

Is the family connection his Dad?

[Mick Mac]

Yes, the horse I'm after was trained by his Dad, (i think)

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

The Pie?

[Mick Mac]

It was Papillion - trained by Ted Walsh and ridden by Ruby Walsh.

Who's next to ask a sporting question? Anyone have a try?

[jaybee82]

At the 2008 Turkish Grand Prix, Rubens Barrichello became (and still is) the most experienced driver in F1 History. But who is currently the second?

[david_carnell]

Fisichella? He's been around donkey's years.

Or Picquet Snr? Or Jean Alessi?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Stirling Moss

[Mick Mac]

John Watson?
