    Two of the others are currently in the EPL.

    That's one of the EPL pair - the other could be referred to as Watford B

    Crystal Palace, Millwall and Coventry (or Wimbledon) ? Possibly the first three because they were all in division 4 for the inaugoral season in 1958/59.

    Palace and Coventry yes,but not Millwall. Tricky one that - we played them often enough in League Division 1 when it was actually Division 2, but have never met them in the EPL.

    One more to go - the one I actually thought would be the hardest.

    No - although just like against Blackpool we once had a 7-2 home win against this team.

    That's the last one. I guess that as you got the last one, it's over to you...

    Not sure who did the most work on that me or Fez - so a nice easy one which was the first FA Cup final to be televized live by the BBC in colour ? I need the year and the teams.

    I probably should leave this for someone else - but 1968, Everton v WBA - with Jeff Astle netting the winner. Watched it in the TV room in the YMCA in Watford.

    Cheers...

    At which World Cup Finals series were both the first and last goals scored by defenders - the first (and, I think, only) time this happened? Excluding penalty shootouts.
    And who were the defenders?

    I think this was certainly the case in 2006 though there may have been others. The opening game in 2006 was between Germany and Costa Rica and the opening goal was by Philipp Lahm. In the final the last goal apart from the penalty shoot out was by Mario Materazzi for Italy.

    Mansfield's Field Mill - or whatever they call it these days?

    First used for football in 1861 - and the last time I was there, just over a century later, it didn't look as though it had changed much...
