    Cheers Stan. My question is: Who did Karl Marx replace in the last couple of minutes without making any impact ?

    I'm guessing there might have been a footballer called Karl Marx.

    Could be a Monty Python sketch.

    Stroller is on the right lines here. Beckenbauer was in the vicinity at the time of the event - as was Martin Luther.

    It's Wittgenstein. Had too look it up, but I'd nearly got there anyway.......

    Nietzsche receives a yellow card after claiming that Confucius has no free will. Confucius replies, "Name go in book".
    In the second half, with nothing being accomplished on the field other than contemplation,
    Karl Marx is noticed warming up vigorously on the German sidelines. Marx soon races onto the field to substitute Ludwig Wittgenstein, his energy appearing as an obvious game-changer. Upon the referee's restart, Marx simply pulls up and starts meandering in deep thought like the rest.
    With just over a minute of the match remaining Archimedes cries out "
    Eureka!", takes the first kick of the ball and rushes towards the German goal. After several passes through a perplexed German defence, Socrates scores the only goal of the match in a diving header off a cross from Archimedes.
    As the sketch closes, the Germans dispute the call, as the match commentator says: "Hegel is arguing that the
    reality is merely an a priori adjunct of non-naturalistic ethics, Kant via the categorical imperative is holding that ontologically it exists only in the imagination, and Marx is claiming it was offside." The replay proves that, according to the offside rule, Socrates was indeed offside, but the sketch, nevertheless, states that the Greeks have won

    I remember this from a test against the Windies, it's either Walsh or Ambrose, had to be a bowler...

    Yes, it had to be a bowler, although Steve Waugh and Shivnarine Chanderpaul are joint 7th in the list. Which are you going for Sooper?

    Walsh was the better batsman so more likely...

    Yes, Walsh tops the list with Muralitharan second and Bob Willis third.

    Does this refer to women's football ? In which case Blyth Spartans women won the Munitionettes Cup in 1918 - this being played between womens teams drawn from munitions factories. Can't think of a link to Chester though.

    No, it was men's football. A clue is it was linked to another cup competition...

    Yes, played for by the two teams that went furthest in the FA Cup from the 1st Round. I vaguely remember it being won by Blyth after their great cup run that year. It was brought to my attention by an item on Talksport which eventually helped trace the trophy missing for over 30 years. Coincidentally the two previous winners met in a National League North match days after the trophy was found...
