What does SMH stand for, by the way? This is the second week running I've put forward answers but I've no idea why...
Mick There's only a few foootball questions I know : FA cup winners who are the only team to win it twice in the century (it's Sunderland). 1973 & 1937 And who scored 5 goals against Cyprus Malcolm MacDonald puff
hmm I don't follow the Sunderland Q & A twice in the century? you'd say there'd been loads of 'em. 37, 73... don't get it. An old boy used to ask, "Who is the only team to win the FA Cup in Yorkshire?" and you'd say, "Hang on, Sheff Wed have won it and Leeds and Sheff U and Barnsley....." "Ahhhh", he would say, "But...." And SuperMac. Good striker. Good actor, too, in Clockwork Orange. I went to the cup final in '74. billed as Keegan v MacDonald..... Keegan annhialated Newcastle...
RE: hmm I don't follow the Sunderland Q & A Yes, I was pissed and got it wrong. It was only team to win it twice in last century that had reverse numbers or summat, can't think of the words but it was 37 and 73. Like if it we had won in in 1921 again but we didn't. and for your bonus point ... the only player to score 4 in a FA cup final?

that's it. the last one.... Gustav Klimt...... I got that wrong. I thought he was the.... Gustav Klimt...... I got that wrong. I thought he was the Kommandant in Hogans Heroes.... I'll put the answers up again.....
