Trivia thread, the revival

[Power Man]

Madjer.

It had been implied all along by others but finally someone said it

 

[Power Man]

Ok now

This former Leeds player has a brother who played for Man United

Hint : both of them played their last game for those clubs in the same fixture, coincidentally

Just asking for the Leeds player’s name

 

[gary69]

The first Leeds/ManU brothers that came to mind were the Charlton brothers, but I have no idea whether that last game is true for them. Then the three Wallace brothers, but Rod played for Leeds much longer than Danny for United, so it can't be them.

Now pick one of them

 

[gary69]

I think that Wallaces are too forgotten for this kind of info being widely available, and even if it is, you would not have asked the question, since you wouldn't expect anybody knowing it. On the other hand, for Charltons it would probably be mentioned in their biographies if it happened. And since you asked for the Leeds one, I'll guess Jack.

 

[Power Man]

since you wouldn't expect anybody knowing it. .

Hey it's not supposed to be easy

But the answer is Charlton Bros

 

[gary69]

There might be more than one correct answer to this question, but I know there is at least one. Which player has scored a goal against reigning World Cup winning nation in the World Cup final tournament, and scored a goal against reigning Champions League winning club as well?

 

[Moncherry]

Mandzukic?

Against France and Real Madrid.

 

[gary69]

Against reigning champions, not would-be champions. So a goal against France in 2018 doesn't qualify.

 

[gary69]

I'll give the first hint. This is partly a tricky question, as you might notice if you look at a specification missing in the second part of the question compared to first part.

 

[Evilo]

Messi did it. Scored against France and against Bayern.

 

[gary69]

Did he score against reigning WC champions in a WC finals tournament? That would have to have been in 2002 finals if it were against France. I don't think he did.

 

[gary69]

And I literally mean CL, so you don't have to think about oldtimers in the European Cup.

 

[JaymzB]

Van Persie?

 

[gary69]

No, not Van Persie, if I checked his info from Wikipedia right. If you think he did it, please mention the matches he did it.

 

[S E P H]

I am going to say Thomas Muller, it's gotta be some sort of German.

E: Or Klose.

 

[Power Man]

Patrick Kluivert

Scored in 1998 vs Brazil
Scored vs Milan in 94/95

 

[gary69]

Well done.

Kluivert is correct, I thougt I had checked his stats, so don't know how I missed him doing this.

The guy I had in mind was Tore Andre Flo, who scored against Brazil in 1998 as well and then scored against Milan in 2003/04, when they were again CL winners. The tricky part of Flo was that he scored against Milan in Serie A, not in European competition.

So same nation/club was involved with both players doing this.

Haha I did think about Tore Andre Flo as well

For checking the stats, you can go to Transfermarket and filter the career goals scored per competition

Yeah, I did that. And I remember checking Kluivert's stats (amongst other players who had scored against WC holders), but still somehow missed him scoring against Milan. It's a goal I should have remembered also without checking.

ah ok

Van Persie scored against Spain in the 2014 WC (the flying header goal), and he scored against Chelsea in the 2012/13 EPL with United (both games I believe). I think that counts if Flo does.

OK, it seems I somehow missed a lot of things yesterday then.

Seeing no questions posed, I ask one:

According to speed stats, who was the fastest player in the 2014-15 Premier League

I know the answer to this but want to give other people a chance. It is not an obvious name.
