WORLD CUP QUIZ!!!

[PurpleCanary 6,383]

It''s that time again. The World Cup. With England starting on the long road to suicidal despair. To keep fans from worrying about the threat posed by Moldova''s exciting no. 23 shirt a Norwich City-related World Cup quiz:


1. Which former Norwich City defender (who was a long way from Mulbarton) played for England in the 1962 World Cup in Chile?

2. Which Norwich-born defender played in all five of England''s matches in the 2002 World Cup?

3. Which former Norwich City starlet, later named Oceania Player of the Century, appeared in the 1982 World Cup in Spain?

4. Which Norwich City player was wrongly adjudged to have handled the ball in an all-British World Cup qualifying game, with the resultant penalty helping send the opponents to Argentina 1978?

5. Which Norwich City player was picked for Italia 90 on the public basis that since he''d managed to get Glenn Hysen sent off in a League match he might do it again when his national team met Sweden?

Wynton Rufer played for Norwich? He played for my local team when I was a younger man in Japan - strange coincidence.

I reckon it''s Willie Donachie who I think may have been a coach here as well as a player.

[Bill 1,788]

Asa, yes

 

Rioch was not in the opposition team

Perhaps not a coach then but I''m sure there was some later connection when Rioch was manager..

He never played for us even though he had signed a contract as he couldn''t get a work permit.

[Bill 1,788]

yep, Donachie it was

 

he only played a few games with us and never was a coach

 

did join up at poorman road with Joe Royle, though - until he got the heave ho (and it must have been quite a heave with Royles weight)

I did use the word "starlet" deliberately. He played for the Reserves but we/he failed to get a work permit.
