- First British all-seater stadium?

- Most successful Scottish club in European Competitions?

- Most played International fixture of all time?

- Most played English top flight fixture of all time?

- Lowest attendance in Premier League history?

That'll do for now...
Aberdeen :keepie:

Indeed, both are correct. Villa-Everton has been played nearly 200 times.

Aberdeen won two different European tournaments in one season.

I'll put some more up soon, once the final couple are done :)

Ian Storey-Moore would be one but cant think who the other one might be. We've had Shaun Wright-Philips since (though God only knows why!).
I dont think Mark Rhoades -Brown got a cap in the 80's.

You're right about Wimbledon, the lowest is just 3000.
Sorry Nick
This question has already been covered and I got the answer correct. it was indeed Clydbank who got in there first just ahead of Aberdeen

Haven't got a clue. Here's one each from Torquay, Exeter and Plymouth :


LRT (Lathaniel Rowe-Turner)

TAH (Troy Archibald-Henville)

FPM (Forbes Phillipson-Masters)


Apparently, all could/can play central defence. With names like theirs, it sounds like the whole back three. ;-)



Here's some more :

Freeman Hardy and Willis
Starkey Knight and Ford
Hill Palmer and Edwards
Price Waterhouse Coopers
Watts Blake and Bearne
Hugh Mills and Gaye
Tom D*ck and Harry

Seeing as this is all about trivia, it is interesting to look at all our managers by nationality ... confiming that Leroy was da man
