Since I can't seem to find the original, how about sharing a few Football Quiz questions?

I'll start us off with one I was asked recently.

Name the player that has scored in a World Cup, a Champions League Final, won the Premier League, the League Cup and the FA Cup with two different sides, and never been transferred for a fee (Bonus kudos if you can name the matches and clubs involved).

[K-Hod]

Nicolas Anelka?

[Tango]

Nicolas Anelka?

Nope. Cost a fair bit in transfer fees I seem to recall!

[K-Hod]

Hmm, back to the drawing board then! Ha, missed the bit about transfer fees! D'oh!

[Mike E]

I want to say Kanu. Didn't he win the FA cup with Arsenal and Portsmouth?

[bullyboyz]

Took some brain racking but think i know it...One of those blindingly obvious answers as well once you stumble across the name!

don't want to get the answer so soon after the question has been posed though. Have you plenty more quiz Q's to come Tango...

Without any research I'm tempted to say Manu Petit based on the facts he scored in the 1998 World Cup final and played for Arsenal, Barcelona and Chelsea.

'Fraid not.

Nope. All three of the guessed players so far are in the right area...

[Mike E]

It does say World Cup, not necessarily the final. That's why I went Kanu, for Nigeria.

Interestingly also won the UEFA Cup and Olympic Gold!

Ah....He's missing a League Cup win!

Does scored in a CL final mean he didn't win it?

Maybe Sol Campbell? Didn't he score for Arsenal vs Barcelona in that final?

[Tango]

Maybe Sol Campbell? Didn't he score for Arsenal vs Barcelona in that final?

We have a winner!

It is indeed Sol Campbell, having scored for England in a 1-1 draw with Sweden at the 2002 World Cup, in the 2006 Champions League Final for Arsenal, won the Premier League and the League Cup with Arsenal and the FA Cup with Arsenal and Portsmouth, and never cost a penny in transfer fees.

Will see if I can remember any other trivia questions, but everyone's free to volunteer!

[Mike E]

How about, the winner has to set the question?

Name the 6 Davids (First name) to hold a Premier League medal.

David Batty

David Silva

[sambo]

David Batty

David Silva

Can't believe I forgot Batty!

[Mike E]

Batty is incorrect. He refused to accept his medal as he felt his 5 games that season didn't warrant it. So there's one more David (who did play for Rovers, funnily enough).

[Blue Cabbage]

David bloody May

[Mike E]

Well done! Blue Cabbage, you have the honours...

Was thinking maybe Bentley got one when at arsenal! But it's david may as posted

I know this one, Robert Earnshaw!

[Mike E]

I'll let others have a go, but it's a classic question

[Blue Cabbage]

Yup a classic but only one I could think of without Google!!

Robert Earnshaw is correct.

Butty, you're up

[Butty]

Who is the only player to have scored in the Merseyside Manchester and Glasgow derbies?
