I believe it was Fabio Liverani of Perugia as recently as last year. I don't want to split hairs on this important issue, but Liverani is actually mixed-race rather than Black.

Although academic in approach, the following link from the Sir Norman Chester Centre for Football Research provides an excellent summary of the impact of Black players in British football. Well worth a read.

I posted this elsewhere yesterday, and given the nature of this thread thought it might be worthwhile to repeat it here.

Goin back to a question a while back about a the team with the lowest points in a Premier league it was in the Greek league, and it was -65pts. Cant remember the name of the team but anyway it was -3 for each case of financial irregularities.

There was a match called The Fateful Final, what was this match and why? Anybody worth there salt should get this.

Brazil v Uruguay, Rio 1950. Brazil massive favourites to win world cup lost final group match (which was basically the World Cup Final) i think 2-0. The Brazilian public took it really badly with quite a number of suicides....

Thats the one, but it was 2-1 and thats really what spurs Brasil on in football its was seen as a national tragedy, some countries go to mourn wars and famine, they mourn that final.

dont forget to post ur question.

Ok heres a question, who is the only player to win the player of the year in england and scoltland?

**Plastic Paddy** · 30/10/2003, 2:25 PM

That would be wee Gordie Strachan - he won the Scottish version in 1980 whilst with Aberdeen and the English version in 1992 as a Leeds United player.

My question - which is the only club in the English leagues to score six in a League game and still lose?

Was it Man City? Didn't they score 6 and the game got abandoned and they lost the replay?

**Coltron** · 30/10/2003, 2:40 PM

Indeed you are sir.

Time for a harder one then. What is the ever lowest attendance at an English League game and which clubs were playing?

13 between Shrewsbury and Lincoln?

Remember hearing of a game like that in the 70s - was supposed to be behind closed doors or something.

In recent years, Wimbledon's 800-odd against Rotherham is head and shoulders below anyone else!

**Coltron** · 30/10/2003, 5:22 PM

When was the last time Spain won the Euro championships?

Close but no cigar, Stu. 13 is indeed the correct number, but for a match between Stockport County and Leicester City in Division Two on 7 May 1921. The match was played at Old Trafford because the Stockport ground was under suspension at the time.

"Born in the UK, played club football in three different European leagues, scored in an FA cup final but never represented his country. Who is he?"

Don't know the answer myself but a mate is bugging me for the answer

EDIT: I actually do have the answer now
