Pfft I could remember 2 of the names on Q1 and couldn't remember the first name of Mooney. I got Q5. All hail Bure's NCFC trivia knowledge! Though to be fair I have tried to erase 08/09 from my mind.
Can find no record of Troy Archibald Henville ever coming to us. In the 08/09 season he was transferred from Spurs to Exeter permanently Congratulations on the rest, though I suspect memory may not have been totally responsible for Q1. If I am wrong, appologies.
For the 2008–09 season, City took Archibald-Henville on what was initially a season long loan, but he returned to Tottenham without making a league appearance. Some answers from memory, but Mr Google helped
His career in Wiki makes no mention of a loan to us. I suspect that is where Mr Cousins-Lake got his information from.
