Also,this club last finished in the top 6 of any division 47 seasons ago.

I think I've heard this one in the pub recently....It's a joke question yeah

Dazzler · Post by **Dazzler** » Tue May 01, 2018 7:19 pm

Oh no It is a genuine question...just remembered

Dazzler · Post by **Dazzler** » Tue May 01, 2018 7:26 pm

Actually' I would say it is not strictly correct.

Not being re-elected is,to me, just the same as being relegated,especially when they finished bottom.

I heard the Gainsborough Trinity thing the other day, absolutely mind-boggling statistic (if true)!

Name the last 10 players to be sent off for England.
I could only remember 6 without actually guessing names.

Edit: Oops. Bit slow there.

paulus the woodgnome · Post by **paulus the woodgnome** » Fri May 04, 2018 6:21 pm

Any chance of a clue? Tournament, qualifiers or friendlies?

Dazzler · Post by **Dazzler** » Fri May 04, 2018 6:24 pm

These last 2 along with Batty & Sterling are the ones I couldn't recall.

On 10 October 2009, he became the first ever England goalkeeper to be sent off, during the penultimate match of qualification against Ukraine

paulus the woodgnome · Post by **paulus the woodgnome** » Fri May 04, 2018 6:45 pm

One to get. How far back in time is it, roughly? Bryan Robson must have got himself sent off at some stage surely.

Edit: not BR then
