    City Quiz Questions

    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 ?

    Didn't Zaha get capped for England?

    Re: City Quiz Questions

    Caulker & Drinkwater correct - that leaves another four. Lappin and O'Halloran correct for sending offs but Bater's uniqueness was more football related.

    Re: City Quiz Questions

    Campbell and Zaha both correct - two more of those to get.

    We were playing another Welsh club (Wrexham) in Bater's first game?

    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.

    No. Question 3 is players sent off playing AGAINST City. Two of them including the first are pretty well-known names however.

    I thought he got sent off on his debut. Eddie May signed him. And I think his first game was the 5-0 defeat to Maidstone.

    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.

    Re: City Quiz Questions

    I'm in complete guessing territory now with these questions, so I'll have a go with something like both teams wore the other side's normal kit for question 1 and, although I'm sure it's wrong, I'll go for Bater's red card being the only time a player had been sent off against each of the four Welsh clubs.

    Also, it's just come to me that Dunne from Millwall has been sent off against us twice I think.
