They were in fact a rowdy bunch and did in fact ...........Wrexham......... furniture after a heavy drinking session.

It was guarded by ........Rangers............ dressed in .........Lincoln..... green.

You don't burnley furniture (but you might wreck some), and Gretna Green is a place, not a colour.

[historynut]

POST 309 is nearly there but not quite.
All correct with these amendments-
Apologies left shone out of opening sentance, sun shone brighton etc, as pineapplestu states you wrecksome (WREXHAM) furniture,
The Rangers were in deed dressed in Lincoln green. The Queen of the South greeted them with a friendly Alloa (alloha). They climbed into the Newcastle, and ate Dundee Cake. And thats it ! trust you found it amusing !

Fill in the missing gap:
1979: Sunderland
1980: ???
1981: Villa

(This one has been floating around a while so I figure it'll get answered very quick)

and another interesting one:

Who is the only player to be substituted in an international match at Wembley to be replaced by his brother?

[Jwal]

David O'Leary replaced by brother Pierce O'Leary http://foot.ie/images/icons/icon7.gif

Trevor Brooking in 1980 between ALAN Sunderland & RICARDO Villa

[Réiteoir]

Going back to the Chester City question - one interesting fact - if the club's offices were on the Welsh side of the stadium then they'd have to register and be governed by the FA of Wales - hence the club offices are sited on the English side of the stadium

[B1977]

Brooking
all scored winning fa cup final goals

Who was the first coloured Irishman to play at Wembley ?

[HarpoJoyce]

Who was the first coloured Irishman to play at Wembley ?

Your question is dodgy and one that may not be controlled appropiately by this forum. That will be your fault.

I am going to say Phil Lynnott.

Since even, where he recorded music was in Wembley. He played music to reduce the type of questions you ask.

On a Junior Football thread a more appropiate answer is
Chris Hughton
http://www.topspurs.com/thfc-history-cupfinalteams.htm
"FA Cup Final Replay 1980-81: Empire Stadium, Wembley (Att:- 96,000)
Tottenham Hotspur 3-2 Manchester City
Team: 1.Milia Aleksic, 2.Chris Hughton, 3.Paul Miller, 4.Graham Roberts, 5.Ricky Villa, 6.Steve Perryman, 7.Ossie Ardiles, 8.Steve Archibald, 9.Tony Galvin, 10.Glenn Hoddle, 11.Garth Crooks. Sub (not used): Gary Brooke
Scorers: Ricky Villa (2), Garth Crooks
Manager: Keith Burkinshaw

If this is deemed correct ( Please note Wembley is an entire area of London), my question is a Picture Round
What Tournament does this poster advertise? What stadium was the final held?

CLUE:
there are people here who smell, they should stay away from me.

[DmanDmythDledge]

Well the year at the bottom of the poster gives it away! 1938 World Cup, going to guess the Parc des Princes.

[lim abroad]

its not parc des princes,i played in a tournament there about 10 years ago but can't remember the name.some rugby team played there back then

[HarpoJoyce]

Dman is right with the tournament. Parc des Princes fair guess but incorrect.

[Jock MIB]
