Quiz Question

Post by tybfc » Thu Nov 26, 2020 6:06 pm

I rarely ask quiz questions so please do not Google this and test your historical footballing knowledge.

I have just been looking at an old programme of England v Northern Ireland in a British Championship match at Wembley on Tuesday 16th May 1978.

Without cheating can anybody name me

A) The only Burnley player named in the 42 players of both squads that night

B) The only player (and his club) who was not playing for an English club team.

Impossible.

Kevin Keegan and Hamburg would be my guess at question B and only player I could think of for A is Billy Hamilton but im guessing this was before his Burnley and N.I, days so im stuck on that one

It was Brian Johnston of Cliftonville and he wore the number 21 shirt.

I said it was impossible.

Don't think Billy signed for QPR until later in '78 he would still have been at Linfield in May.

Yes. Ended up looking it up.
Couldn't remember if he was still abroad. Germany?
Was at that match and again at the same fixture a couple of years later.

We tried to sign Woodcock on loan in 1976 but we missed out by a couple of hours because he’s signed for Doncaster. We got Malcolm Smith instead.

Never knew we'd tried to sign him.
Class act on his day.

I was actually at that match. Stood at the back at the tunnel end. But I was absolutely hammered so don’t remember much.

Saw Woodcock a couple of times at Cologne. As with Keegan the improvement after he moved to Germany was astronomical.

They were looking to sell him and had Malcolm Smith not scored all those goals on loan then we’d have signed Woodcock for the same price.
