You have to wonder how low Manchester City have set the bar when they describe that as an "innovative" Q&A format. Still, interesting enough, he seems like a character.
Some trivia thanks to OptaJoe on Twitter; which Irish player has scored the most goals (54) in the EPL with not a single one of them headed?
I'd guess Duffer.
And Keane the lowest proportion of headed goals among EPL high scorers!Originally Posted by DannyInvincible
I've been compiling some stats on Trapattoni's reign for a blog, and have been asking some trivia questions on twitter. Have fun
Who made the most assists for Trapattoni's side?
Five players marked their debuts under Trapattoni with a goal, name them and the opposition?
Robbie Keane is the top goalscorer under Trapattoni, but what players were the top scoring midfielder and defender? Note - there's two midfielders and two defenders with the same number of strikes, one of each is acceptable as an answer
Trapattoni gave 37 players their first cap. Who were the youngest and oldest players to make their debut?
Of the 37 debuts awarded, only 2 were in competitive games (ie qualifiers) Name the players & games?
Throughout Trapattoni's reign, only one team beat his side in an away friendly, name the opposition? To clarify, the 2-0 loss to Brazil in London was designated as a "home" game for Ireland by FIFA
Only one player made his debut in an away game under Trapattoni. Name the player and the opposition? Again, the friendlies in London are designated as "home" games for Ireland on fifa.com
Two debutants scored in the same game twice in Trapattoni's reign. When was the last time two debutants scored in the same game before Trapattoni's reign?
