A few questions to ponder over on a summer's evening.
1. On February 17th 1934, City lost 3-2 to Crystal Palace in a Division 3 South game at Selhurst Park. What was uniquely
unusual about this match ?
2. Which former City player saved a crucial penalty against Liverpool in a league game at Anfield ?
3. Who was the first player to be sent off twice playing against the City ? Three other players have repeated the feat since
- a bonus point if you can name them also.
4. What is the next fixture in this sequence of City league fixtures:
Stockport A; Hull A; Norwich A; Bury H; Charlton H; Sheff Utd H; Swansea A; Tranmere H; Preston H;.......... ?
5. Name the 11 players who have played for City since 2003 and who have won a full England cap at some time in their
careers.
6. Phil Bater was the first of three players (up to now) who have been sent off on their first start for City. Who were the
other two and why was Bater's particularly unique ?

Wayne Routledge?
Heaton, Bothroyd, Fowler, Sinclair, Lambert all correct. Not Routledge though.
Simon Lappin was one of those sent off on his debut and the other one was a guy on loan from Middlesbrough who was red carded at Leyton Orient (O'Halloran?) - I'll guess rhat Baxter is unique because he was playing for his home town club.
Caulker. Drinkwater.
3. players sent off I'm guessing here Robin Friday, Phil Dwyer, Jason Perry.
Frazer Campbell
Didn't Zaha get capped for England?
Caulker & Drinkwater correct - that leaves another four. Lappin and O'Halloran correct for sending offs but Bater's uniqueness was more football related.
Campbell and Zaha both correct - two more of those to get.
Kieran Richardson.
Yes - that leaves just one (appropriately)
Is one of the sent-off players John Williams?
Allan Smith was sent off twice playing against us.
Michael Ricketts
No. Question 3 is players sent off playing AGAINST City. Two of them including the first are pretty well-known names however.
Correct ! That's no 5 done.
We were playing another Welsh club (Wrexham) in Bater's first game?
Stockport Away in question four had me thinking of our first ever Football League games in sequence, but the balance of the fixtures is all wrong with three away matches being followed by three home ones - think it might be something to do with first games of the season though.
Q1. Were all 5 goals in the match scored by City?
He's one of the four. Not the first though
Moving in the right direction but a bit more unusual than that.
No, nothing to do with the goalscorers
There was also a Welsh ref?
