Bolton Wanderers Forum The-Wanderer.co.uk

With the boredom of having no 'proper' footy to watch, I though it would be a good idea to start a footy trivia thread to aleviate the monotony of the summer. I'll start with a couple of oldies -

1. Which player, to have played in the final game at Burnden, was the last to have played in a competetive match for us?

2. There are 13 teams in the top 4 divisions in England with TON in their name. Can you name them without google!

Hoping others post trivia questions here too!!!!

Dunno about one, because I'm far too young and that.

As for two... answers in white below

Bolton, Everton, Northampton, Brighton, I need a think.

Bet you're not as bored as me (as kinty, in white)
Bolton Wanderers, Everton, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Southampton, Northampton Town, Brighton & Hove Albion,

That ninth one is a pesky little bugger.

Here's one for the oldies. (But there's no point doing it if you're just going to google)
