The Very Hard FF247 Quiz #1
Okay Ladies, Gents and the Inbetweenies, it is our pleasure to offer you the first of an occasional series of quizzes to entertain you during the International breaks or when I’m bored and have nothing better to do. Usual format is for 10 questions ranging from the child’s play for folks like Elle and Init, to the bloody ridiculous to keep the likes of Ivan and Cookie awake at night!
Now here’s the thing, we need you to post your answers in the same order as the questions; we know it’s bleedin’ obvious but we’ve seen you handle Harry & Lloyd’s……..
Any questions that you have no idea about you can either leave blank or use italics for a wild guess. As we slowly get the correct answers I might start giving out some clues for the tricky ones, or maybe not.
Also, please, please DO NOT post answers that you have Googled, because that just ruins the fun for everybody else. Kindly don’t spoil it for the others, ok? There is a question that I am sure that is impossible to know or guess, so we’ll know. There is the odd bonus point available too. Don’t ask for clarifications, the questions are what they are so just go for it.
So for our first, of hopefully many quizzes, your topic is ENGLISH managers as in Nationality. Questions cover the birth of the FA up to the present day. Football really did exist prior to Sky TV and Jim White!
Eyes down, game on!
Q1. Who was the last English manager to win a European trophy, guess the year to give yourself a bonus point?
Q2. Easy one, who was the last English manager to win the top-flight league in England?
Q3. Who is the English manager that is generally accepted as ‘the father’ of the modern game? Which was the first club he managed for a bonus point?
Q4. Who is the most successful English manager in top-flight football in England?
Q5. Who is the longest current serving English manager in League football?
Q6. Who is the longest serving English manager ever in League football?
Q7. Who was the 1st English manager to win back-to-back FA Cups? Correctly name the team for a bonus point.
Q8. Who was the 1st English manager to win the FA Cup with different clubs?
Q9. Who is the English manager with the most FA Cup wins? Which club for a bonus point?
Q10. England has the most FA Cup winning managers with 51, but how many titles?

“A quick message from Init- DO NOT GOOGLE YOUR ANSWERS. PLEASE.
Easy as it may seem, it ruins our fun”
thx for your help.
SZ, as a Yank with maybe 6-7 years of playing FPL I’ll venture that I wouldn’t even be able to posit an answer to any of the 10. Even with Google it would be a struggle. Have fun with the contest.
Yeah, the questions go back prior to your interest in EPL. I’ll try and do a more contemporary one next time, I’ll makeit easier one too.
At first glance 0/10. Does not look easy.
#2 is easy, it’s gone down in Prem folklore
“There is a question that I am sure that is impossible to know or guess“
So the maximum acceptable score is effectively 9/10, right? I’m only 9 off that atm.
Ah. I guess with the 4 bonus points it could be 13/14.
I might give other bonus points, I make this up as I go along
How did you get on with Capitano Colorado by the way 😉
Q2 The ‘nasty’ manager that sold Ooh-aah to Fergie. hint/hint
“Sergeant” 😉
I know the answer to question 2 as we had this question at work a couple of days ago.Had totally forgotten about him !!
Then post it mate, get the ball rolling
Great stuff Zorro, something for the IB :thumbup:
Do we put the answers on here or…?
Yup, just guess away amigo. Have a couple of guesses, we need some action around here.
