Which three teams did Denis Law play for at Wembley in 1963?

 

ManYoo, Jockshire and Torino?

 

Man Yoo and Jockshire are both correct.

But not Torino.

 

It will have been some select team, whether it world, european, league, I'm not sure, but one of them, because it wouldn't have been any other club

 

I remember reading something about Jim Baxter playing in a Rest of the World VS England (I think). I can't remember the exact year but I'm fairly sure its 63.

So thanks to monaco I'm going to say - Rest of the World.

 

Yes, Manchester United in the FA Cup Final against Leicester City, The Rest of the World XI against England and Scotland against England in the Home International Championship.

Strangely enough, the opposing goalkeeper in all of those three matches was Gordon Banks.

So in other words, you are blatantly copying me?! I had forgotten Baxter played in it too, so there were 2 Scots in a rest of the world team?! Also, considering the question mentions 1963, I reckon you might be right with the year mate!

 

**** off , why is MD getting the points? I said world select first! Thats you and me finished MD, ya fenian bastard!

 

I only remember because after the game Ferenc Puskas allegedly asked Baxter where he had been hiding

He hopped from London to Sheffield in honour of his bouncy Surname?

 

Was it the first time a Catholic signed for Rangers?

 

1st keeper to cost 10 grand

 

That was in 1874 so just the 93 years out, I'm afraid.

 

The answer's on his wikipedia page.

 

I trust the fine, upstanding gentlemen of the Not 606 Forum to resist the urge to cheat.
