Summer Trivia

Post by Beano » Mon Jul 20, 2015 10:12 pm

A and B are footballers who played together for the same club, X, after 2000.

Both then left. A went to Y and won the league. B went to Z and also won the league. Y and Z are rival clubs.

A and B then reunited at W before A returned to X. A and B have both won the Champions League.

Name A, B, W, X, Y and Z.

I got asked this the other day. I couldn't come up with an answer.

I know who it is now, but I won't spoil it for others.

Keep answers to private message please - I love this stuff!

A few summers ago someone did a whole thread dedicated to this sort of trivia - it was great fun!

Unfortunately my knowledge of top flight football stopped in 1989, so I'm at a disadvantage here.

Trying to work out whether the rivalry clue gives much away.

Since both Y and Z won the league then it goes without saying it could be simply a 'competitive' rivalry eg. Arsenal and Man United.

Assuming 'the league' is referring to the Premiership, then only 4 teams have won it since 2000. Of those 4, arguably only Man City could be considered to have just one proper rival.

W - Bayern Munich
X - PSV Eindhoven
Y - Barcelona

Since the advent of the UEFA Champions League era in 1992, name the only non-Spanish player who has held a league title, Champions League, European Championship and World Cup simultaneously.

I think I have the answer.

Zidane was my first answer too but I think Valencia won La Liga in 2002, the year Real won the Champions League.

I thought I had it, but then a colleague threw another name into the hat and seems to have it spot on.

I can think of 3 at Real Madrid, McManaman, Beckham, Owen
"At a meeting held at the Grammar School on Friday last - Mr Phillip Wood M.A., in the chair - it was resolved to form an Association Football Club for Darlington and neighbourhood. The opinions of those present were so unanimous as to the desirability of this step, that a committee was formed to complete the organisation of the club, and Mr Craven, 17, Garden Street, was appointed secretary pro tem." - The Northern Echo, Monday 23rd July 1883
