Too quick...i set the question on Saturday  lunchtime ????

[balo]

Okay I can do this. From a Norwegian angle as the viking I am. 

Who were the first Norwegian player to play in the top division in England. Name, club and year.  

 

[Bredbury Blue]

That was the spurs goalie in the 90s, eric thor....

[balo]

No you have to go further back in history .  Not Spurs. 

 

[balo]

He played as a central defender. The club is not in the top division now. He only scored 1 goal for the club.

Ben Arentoft played for Blackburn in the 60s and 70s, I think. Left back, though. Was it him?

Scrub that - Arentoft is Danish.

[Bredbury Blue]

Henning Berg

[balo]

No Henning Berg played for United and Blackburn in the 90's.  You need to go back at least another decade. 

[balo]

Another clue, the manager passed away some time ago.

Cloughie? Einer Aaas at Forest, sometime in the 80s? I thought he was a midfielder.

Yes Brian Clough and you almost spelled the name correct.

Jan Einar Aas was the guy, and he did so well for Bayern Munich that Clough wanted him to come over, he arrived late in the 80/81 season. 

Clough was so impressed by him that he gave him the captain role. 

 

Then tragedy struck in November 81, after only 21 appearances for Forest, he broke his leg and never recovered. He is still regarded as one of the best Norwegian players that went abroad.

We had Harold Bratbaart at Bolton. He must be one of the worst.

[balo]

Never heard of him. 

 

BTW, Aas played in the Norway - England game in 1981 , we won 2-1 and Aas had Keegan in his pocket.

Champers if you are still thinking of a question I'll jump in.

 

Six of the 2018-19 Premier League Clubs have a bird or birds on their crests. Name the clubs?

 

Edited April 16, 2019 by Bredbury Blue

[balo]

A bird ? My own club Spurs to name one, I am sure there are plenty others. 

[Bredbury Blue]

1. Spurs - Cockerell

2

3

4

5

6

 

[balo]

Without looking it up, I am pretty sure you can add Liverpool to that list. 

[champers]

Eagles and Seagulls - Palace and Brighton.

Bluebirds - Cardiff

Magpies - Newcastle.

Palace have a live Eagle swoop accross the pitch before every home match.

Edited April 16, 2019 by champers

[Bredbury Blue]

1 Brighton (Seagull),

2 Cardiff City (Bluebird),

3 Crystal Palace (Eagle),

4 Liverpool (Liver bird),

5 Spurs (Cockerel).

 

Magpie is not on Newcastle's badge/crest.

 

The 6th club is....???

Yep. Burnley (stork). 

 

Over to you to set a question.

 

[balo]

Lets try again

 

Name of keeper with dual citizenship, he played for several clubs in the top division over a short period of time.  He also won a trophy with one of the clubs before he retired. 

Edited April 16, 2019 by balo

[balo]

And we are in England, but he is not British . 

[champers]

Mark Schwartzer?

[balo]

Nope 

[balo]

He won the trophy with his first English club and then played for 2 other clubs after that for a short time. 

[Bredbury Blue]

Is he part norwegian?
