I know it was a friendly and we were in a new away kit in the late 1960s but I don't know who the opposition were that day.

Correct. Italian U-21s.

I have inwardly booed them many times.

by Guest Thu Apr 03, 2014 1:39 pm

With the current clown in charge there's every chance of it happening again.

by Guest Thu Apr 03, 2014 2:03 pm

Played nearly a hundred times for his country, with a better than 1 in 5 scoring ratio and played for them for over a quarter of a century, last playing for them three years ago. Scored on his Villa debut, and played in at least 7 different countries in his career.

I suspect TBE saw him play in a testimonial for Villa once...

Savo?

by Guest Thu Apr 03, 2014 2:17 pm

Nope.

Happened once against Burnley, we ran out first for a change and were wearing tracksuit tops for some reason. We lost 0-3 so were booed off at the end too

Correct. Italian U-21s.

The year was, 1969?

by Guest Fri Apr 04, 2014 6:59 am

It was 1969.
Who remembers the Transfer Turnstile at Villa Park?

by Guest Fri Apr 04, 2014 9:10 pm

Well, no more guesses?

Flip me that is hard. Could easily be Yorke but it's not.

Edit, I'd say Carew only i reckon he made his Norway debut late 90s so hardly quarter of a century..

by whiteensign Fri Apr 04, 2014 9:19 pm

Sunderland did it in 1979, Villa did it in 1981, who did it in 1980?

by Guest Fri Apr 04, 2014 9:47 pm

Trevor Brooking weren't it?

Sorry, Ian, I missed this question. Starting to think now....

by Guest Sat Apr 05, 2014 8:05 pm

We should tweet the quiz questions.

by Guest Wed Apr 09, 2014 7:58 pm

This 'quarter of a century' is stumping me.

by Guest Wed Apr 09, 2014 8:50 pm

Yep, me an'all.

Played in seven different countries? Not English then.

I was thinking Nii Lamptey but he's played in about eleven countries and only had a five year career at international level.

by Guest Wed Apr 09, 2014 9:51 pm

He crossed my mind 'n all. It's one tough question.

by Guest Wed Apr 09, 2014 10:05 pm

I have decided to make it easier by eliminating those I suspect it's not:

~~Giles de Bilde~~
~~Marlon Harewood~~
~~Simon Dawkins~~

by Guest Wed Apr 09, 2014 10:10 pm

~~Emile Heskey~~
~~Nigel Callaghan~~ (might have DJed in seven different countries)
~~Ronny Johnsen~~
