Watford trivia quiz

We have various word game threads so how about a club trivia quiz.

I will start off with three questions but feel free to add more later.

1) Who was manager of Barcelona when Watford played them?

2) What was Graham Taylor's biggest defeat at the Vic?

3) Which former Watford player went on to captain England?

 

I like that you started this on the day Wikipedia is having a black out! I feel like a naughty school girl caught cheating in an exam!!

 

Naughty schoolgirls have a very important place in society!

 

this is too difficult for my brain, i might have to have a look over Betty's shoulder

 

1. Terry Venables
2. 5-0 when he played for Lincoln City
3. David James

 

NZ, I presume as 3 is a trick question they captained England in a different sport.

 

Could be that. Could be that they were only a youth team player. Could be a number of things. I don't want to give away too much

 

Arthur Grimsdell

 

Or could this be in women`s football ?

 

I don't think that Arthur played for Watford, though he was born and died in Watford. He would certainly have got more caps if it hadn't been for the First World War, but then I wouldn't have been around to ask these questions if it hadn't been for the First World War.

Arthur played for Spurs. I wonder who he would have supported in the tie coming up?

 

Sorry AK but you may be right about David James. He was given the captain's armband after the official captain was substituted. Aparently this does not put him in the list of captains but it is good enough for this quiz (and a lesson for future question setters as well as me!).

I was actually thinking of Mike Gatting who was on Watford's books as a youngster. I also spent ages checking that Fred Titmus had never captained England. He had also been on our books. To be honest I didn't think about David James.

This leaves one question

 

does 2 refer to when he played for Grimsby Town and we beat them 7-1 at the Vic ? 1967 or 68 I believe

 

Yes. I don't think GT suffered a bigger defeat at the Vic.

Well done to you Cologne and AK.

So now someone else set some questions

 

Name 4 former players who have played international football for countries they weren't born in.

 

One has to be Hameur Bouazza

 

and Obviously John Barnes

 

I'd forgotten about HB but there are 5 I was thinking of and Digger is one.

 

Luther Blissett, Kenny Jackett, Lee Hodson and Marlon King (born in Dulwich and played for Jamaica)

 

Well done cologne - another one is Tamas Priskin as he was born in the Czech Republic but I decided not to include him in the 5.
