1, Wiz wouldn''t know, wasn''t on a stream

2, Wiz wouldn''t know, wasn''t on a stream

3, Wiz may know

4, Wiz wouldn''t know, wasn''t in the Lower Barclay and wasn''t one of those throwing his season ticket at Gunn - he only read about it and then had a biased opinion about. Sorry to ruin the answer though: First Carrow Road game for Waveney following his Messiah.

5, Wiz wouldn''t know, wasn''t on a stream

What do I win?

[quote user="City1st"]3. Ex Canary Craig Bellamy scored for Cardiff against City, Feb 2014 - name the three firsts connected with that goal,[/quote]

It was Solskjaer''s first victory as Cardiff''s manager and I think it was Bellamy''s first Premier League goal for Cardiff. No idea what the third first is though, but I will guess at it being the first time Cardiff had come from behind to win a game?

Wasn''t it Matt Jackson who scored the first goal this century?

Bellamy first player to score for seven(?) different teams in the PL?

Colchester game was also Grant Holt''s debut.

Hmmmnnnn...when I was growing up, I was always led to believe this was Big Dunc....or was he just the obvious suspect?

We had plenty of others prone to a card or two at the time - Keelan, Billy Steele or Kevin Bond to name 3 and hedge my bets!

yepDuncan Forbes in Aug 1976 V Arsenal (first season usung red/yellow cards)miraculously he had avoided a yellow at Andfield a few days beforeas the Times stated elsewhere -"''''Forbes got his customary booking, the

referee ought to take his name in the changing room rather than on the

pitch, thus saving time.''''"

[quote user="Mr Angry"]Out of interest, why did Kevin Keelan get booked so often?[/quote]I may be wrong but I am not sure he did. He famously got sent off once, in an era (long before red and yellow cards) when sendings off were rare, for left-hooking an annoying Northampton forward. But bookings for keepers were generally for time-wasting and I don''t recall Keelan being particularly guilty of that.

And it was Sandy Kennon rather than Keelan who worked as a rather imposing bouncer at the Norwich Bowl in the summer so perhaps he was the hard man...
