For @mrbojangles and everyone else.

 

Who was the first non-British City player to win City's Player of the Year?

Eeh, one from my day,

 

Bert Trautmann in 1956, the first goalkeeper to do so.

Is there a film made or being made about BT? I recall reading about it somewhere, maybe on here.

Incorrect.. from what I can see the MCFC player of the year started in the 60s. Maybe Trautmann won a different award?

Either Uwe Rosler or Kinky. Can't remember off top of my head which was first

Nope... clue: We are basing nationality on the national team they played for.

Bolton would have been a force back then? Or was that pre-War?

They were a force in the 50s. Won the FA Cup in 58; take a guess who they beat.

Not sure... but if it was United I think we had a good reason for being under strength?

It was United and everyone except Bolton fans was willing them to win. The Bolton team cost £110; 11 x £10 for signing on as pros. All came through the youth teams and reserves. Our last major trophy.

One was made a couple of years ago. Called 'The Keeper'.

[RickG16]

This is a poor effort by @mrbojangles in particular.

 

Another clue... this player became a manager.

So With Republic of Ireland not counting as British, I'll guess at Mick McCarthy? Ow he didn't win it then Niall Quinn.

[wilai]

Neither mate.

That was a pure fluke on my part as I was just thinking of old Nordic players.

 

I will let somebody else set the next question.

WHU smashed Newcastle for 8 a few years back. What was unusual about the goal-scorers?

Remember Newcastle used three different keepers but nothing about the scorers.....Definitely one for Kadilo this one!
