Re: Crap FA cup quiz

Is the other manager in question 2 Kenny Hibbitt?

That clown Graham Williams as one of the answers to number 3? I take it that the other one is the title winner in 46/47, Bill McCandless?

Leeds and I'll try Man City for number 5.

Right with all bar Hibbitt but we're talking mid later 90s.

Re: Crap FA cup quiz

it's Osman then is it? Must admit I had trouble remembering who the manager was at that time, let alone twenty odd years later!

It is.

I can't see any more takers for the others, so here goes.

Remaining side we've beaten 3 times - Enfield.

Biggest win - 8-0 Vs Enfield, 1931.

Biggest defeat - 6-1 at Villa, 1929.

We lost 24 replays, won 23.

Someone got the 8-0 against Enfield didn’t they? I’d never have got them for that beat three times question though because I was just not thinking in non league terms and yet all of those games, bar one I think, were played during my time supporting the club.


Thanks Eric, great quiz.

Apologies to The Bloop. I missed that.

Who'd have thought Solskjaer was such an FA cup success lol!

I was going to ask for a list of non-league and lower division sides that have beaten us but that's too painful!
