Question 46
At the 12.15 race at Ascot on Friday November 24th 2017 which former England international football made the news?
Michael Owen. The race-horse owner and breeder made his debut as a jockey riding Calder Prince to second place in the Prince's Countryside Fund race. Afterwards he likened the experience to playing for England in the World Cup quarter-final against Brazil - I guess because England finished second in that one as well!

Question 45

Question 38:
I was looking through an old programme the other day and saw this ad for season tickets for the following season. I couldn't believe the prices! The prices are for seasons tickets for a full season of a top division club at the time - but for which season (I'll give you a year or two either side)?
It's what Leeds United fans paid for seasons tickets at Elland Road in the 1981/82 season - I think 2 seasons either side deserve a well done!

Question 37:
Another 'retro' question, this time you have got to imagine reading this question in the Liverpool v Wolves programme of December 1980  - 'It's not long ago since this picture was taken, and it features a game between Liverpool and Wolves.

Bobby Robson. The other three are Clem Stephenson, Joe Mercer and Joe Smith.

Question 35:
A 'retro' question this one so you have got to think about as if 1979 was now! The question with its picture was taken from a August 1979 Liverpool programme - 'Chances are that you'll recognise the player on the left. But if you can't place the face, we'll tell you he appeared in an FA Cup final in consecutive season, though each time playing for a different club.' Who?

Question 32:
On October 7th 2013 Polytechnic beat Civil Service 2-1 in a Southern Amateur League match. Why did the match make the national headlines?

Because it was the first football match ever to be played at Buckingham Palace. The Duke of Cambridge - Prince William - who as President of the Football Association arranged the match in his back garden as part of the FA's 150th anniversary celebrations. At the half time break Palace footmen brought the players their oranges and water on silver salvers to add to the unique occasion - now you never see that at the Den on a Saturday afternoon!

Rumour has it that Her Maj supported the Civil Service - fair enough, after all its her Civil Service - and showed her disappointment at their defeat in the traditional way -

Question 31:

Jamie Vardy in his book - Jamie Vardy: From Nowhere, My Story.

Question 29:
The League 1 match between Bradford City and Bristol Rovers on September 17th 2016 was held up for several minutes when ref Andy Haines took the players off the pitch because of health and safety fears. What was causing the problem?

Question 23:

Nottingham Forest. They were League champions for the only time in 1977/78 and so they were in the European Cup for the first time in 1978/79, which they won. As defending cup winners they were back in the European Cup in 1979/80 which they again won. So that was one League title and two European Cups to their name. Brian Clough was a genius - in his prime Cloughie would have been more than a match for any of the current crop of 'great' managers!

Question 22:
The picture alongside is part of a poster publicising which film?

The 1996 film When Saturday Comes - Sheffield United being the club the film revolves around.

Question 7:
In the Sunday Times Rich List published in April 2016 what amount did they have down for the combined wealth of David and Victoria Beckham (and I'll give you a bob or two either side!)?
£280 million - how on earth can they survive on that! I reckon if you say anywhere between £270 and £290 million that's close enough for a right answer!
