Cheers Brian. OK. at which stadium were goal nets first used for a match ? And for a bonus who was the first to 'put the ball in the net', and against who.
Nottingham in a game against Everton 1891. A Everton player called Geary scored the first goal.
No, I wasn't there that day.

All yours Frenchie it was at Nottingham Forest's Town ground, and the player was Everton's Geary. The game wasn't actually Forest v Everton, but a representative North v South match. Interestingly enough the ref. for the day, Sam Widdowson, is credited with having invented shin pads. Over to you.
I'm not sure that this counts but the President of France has the title of co-prince of Andorra - so their monarch (at least in title only) would have been elected, but by the French not the Andorrans.
Is it Belgium? Their king is 'King of the Belgians' rather than 'King of Belgium'.
Thanks, ofh.That's it Andy. Your turn.
Why could we be interested in who is Head of Group Expenses with Axa UK?
A simple Google search'll do it.
As it did - our former player Dominic Ludden. Appears to have done well for himself...
Quite right, BB. Yeah, took a business degree then entered graduate training programme and has clearly been multiply promoted. Good for him.
All yours.

seriously tho:
The Centennial Light is the world's longest-lasting light bulb, burning since 1901. It is at 4550 East Avenue, Livermore, California, and maintained by the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department.[1] Due to its longevity, the bulb has been noted by The Guinness Book of World Records,[2] Ripley's Believe It or Not!, and General Electric.[3] It is often cited as evidence for the existence of planned obsolescence in later-produced light bulbs.[4]
