As part of secret Santa dealie in work I got a 2016 calendar that has a football trivia question for every day. We stole a look at 1st January because we won't be here that day and it's a tough one.

Which striker represented England at youth level, played in all four professional divisions and in non-league, played in an FA Cup final, scored 42 Premier League goals, was still playing last season and once appeared in a Ridley Scott film?

I missed that. I barely look like Ardal O' Hanlon. 65% similarity at most. Anyway, 5th January question.

In 1996, which player, who would later play for Chelsea and Barcelona, made his full international debut coming on as a substitute for his father?

Which footballer, whilst playing for an English club, became the first ever player to be sent off in a European Cup/Champions League Final?

Unlikely to be the first as it was quite recent but worth a go - Drogba?

 

[Markeh]

was Lehmann sent off for Arsenal v Barcelona

 

[Gerry_A_Trick]

Yeah, think it was Lehmann

 

[Aidan O' Neill]

Lehman.

 

[Aidan O' Neill]

Kind of surprising it took what about 50 years for a red card.

 

[Gerry_A_Trick]

I remember watching that game in the pub who had 20 quid on him to be sent off at like 80/1 or something. That's about the last I remember of that night.

 

[gene hughes]

Was it Jens Lehman?

 

[ILD]

Can someone answer Gene in Lehman's terms please?

 

[Aidan O' Neill]

Crap question today.

What was unusual about the opposing managers when Oldham took on Yeovil at Boundary Park in League One last season?

Pesam will be all over this.

 

[Gerry_A_Trick]

No idea, so a wild guess, something about neither of the teams having a manager at the time, or they both managed the opposite team earlier in the season

 

[Rosco]

One manager previously managed the other manager ?
