Football Trivia Thread

[Groucho]

Hi folks,

Thought we could do with some sort of thread to provide light yet interesting relief from the current apocalypse. I propose a football trivia thread, not necessarily confined to Everton but I'm sticking it in here to prevent off topic posts (sensible discretion will be used obviously so don't panic). Feel free to use whatever format you like, but I suggest making use of the spoiler function. If anyone wants to "live post" a quiz like Artetafan used to then feel free however that can be intensive for whoever sets the question.

Who said of Birmingham City "you lose some, you draw some"?

Spoiler: Answer

Jasper Carrott

What was unusual about Aston Villa 2-2 Leicester City in 1976?

....hopefully this is still accurate, but Everton have only played one club in top flight football that we’ve failed to beat.

We have beaten them since in cup competitions though I think.

We'd have won the league if we'd even beaten them once.
