Back in about 1981, I lived in Chester and started pub quizzing - was astonished at how seriously some people took it...

Went with my pub team to Liverpool for a quiz tournament at The Pen and Wig in town. I got asked who the most capped Everton player was. I remember that I answered (after a pause for thought) Alan Ball but also remember that I was wrong. Afraid I don't recall the right answer. No doubt somebody will supply said answer - LCAB? RBG?

Isn't it a trick question now - in that Pat Jennings was briefly a registered Everton player in the eighties?

Nice one. That's assuming the two newtons are correct.

Do we need one more?

Its either Ratcliffe or Southall, can't remember which one. But, yes, Jennings has more caps if you wanted to throw in a sneaky curve-ball.
