Who played in the 1974 cup final at Wembley and also the Rugby league cup final at Wembley the same year?

Was it the Band of the Coldstream Guards?

[AllRoverAsia]

The Band of the Grenadier Guards........................maybe it was....................... The Band of the Royal Marines

[AllRoverAsia]

Name the player who was picked to play for the Rovers and Manchester Utd in the same fixture.( I am sure I read somewhere that the same player did represent both clubs in separate fixtures on the same day as well.)

Do we have an answer to this one? I haven't got a clue

The Brass band was my "standard" answer. Good question though I would say and certainly lightens the mood.

I'd have a guess at Frank Stapleton in a masters match.

Masters football looks a good call - I'll go David May

Anyway another one:

David Beckham was sent-off twice in his England career. What was unusual about one of those?

Was he sent off after the game or at half time? Just a wild guess.

First England captain to be sent off ?

Nope

First England captain to be sent off ?

Well that is a correct answer to my question - just not the one I was looking for.

What do we do? Perth to set another Q and I'll give my answer to the above or let this one run a bit??

[perthblue02]

Nope

Let it run,

Is it to do with that particular game though?

[AllRoverAsia]

Let it run,

Is it to do with that particular game though?

Yes

[perthblue02]

Yes

2 yellows in 2 minutes?

[AllRoverAsia]

2 yellows in 2 minutes?

Didn't know that but not the answer

[perthblue02]

That's me stumped then,

[Madon]

Beckham was the first Englishman to be sent off twice for his country (I think).

Is that the answer you wanted?

[AllRoverAsia]

Is that the answer you wanted?

NO but again it is correct - just not what I'm after. Look back at Perth's question back to me - it gives a bit of a clue

[Madon]

Not got a clue now!

Only England player to be sent off in a World Cup finals match?

[Hanks]

Name the player who was picked to play for the Rovers and Manchester Utd in the same fixture.( I am sure I read somewhere that the same player did represent both clubs in separate fixtures on the same day as well.)

It was a B league fixture and the player in question was allowed to be on both clubs books at the time because he was an amateur. I think it may have been resolved by playing for one of the clubs in the morning as an amateur and then signing pro forms for the other side and turning out for there reserve side in the afternoon.
