Friday Football Quiz

From Red&Blue http://www.yorkcityfc.com/

York Minstermen committee member Phil Howden compiled this quiz for our AGM - and taunted me mercilessly throughout with drunken text messages from the Ukraine. There are 48 points up for grabs - can you do better without searching for the answers on the internet? In fairness most people here might struggle a bit with the York City section, but see how you do. The winners of the quiz scored 38 points. Someone else, who shall remain nameless, scored a very creditable 27 (despite mis-hearing question 2 and saying it was East Fife :oops: ), when you consider that he was Billy No-team-mates for the evening.
