    5 out of 10.

    Spoiler alert...

    I only got the Kenilworth Road because it says Luton on the far stand, and Victoria Park because I recognised Gordon Banks and assumed Stoke.

    But I'm ashamed to say I didn't figure out that the one with the players shamefully surrounding the ref was leeds <doh>

    If I say 9/10, is it obvious that I'm not telling the truth?

    It wasn't the Leeds players surrounding him, though - it was Man Utd's. Probably just after some Bremner cheating or a Hunter leg-breaking assault.

    The answer to the football question I ask a lot of people is Dundee. What is the question?

    Where are the two football grounds which are closest together?

    Judging by the fact all the Leeds players have gone back to the other half and the crowd appear to be celebrating I would say that Leeds have scored the Man Utd players, even the saintly Bobby Charlton are complaining about it.

    The answer to that is Dundee - but the question I had in mind is not ground-related. Actually Dundee is one part of the full answer: the others are Glasgow and London.

    Was just going to post that one. Which British cities have had 2 teams reach the semi final of the European Cup.

    Only 6 cities in Europe have that distinction. Milan, Glasgow,Moscow, Madrid, Belgrade, Bucharest, Vienna, London and of course Dundee.

    Good stuff. Unfortunate for Turin that Torino's dominant era came just before the European Cup got going.

    If Hull hadn't entered, which cities would have been the 2017 city of culture, hosted the 2014 commonwealth games and the 2012 Olympics?

    The Leeds one was easy cos if you look closely you can just see the brown envelope sticking out the ref's arse pocket.

    9/10 as well. Got Villa's/Rangers' lions mixed up.

    Must admit most of them were by deduction of teams and players rather then knowledge of the grounds.

    I know what you mean, it was Craig Johnson on the Anfield one that made my mind up.
