Question of the day

[zagatoes30]

Paul Ince came from Man Utd to Liverpool but via Internazionale and Peter Beardsley was at Man Utd before he went to Newcastle although he only played once (I think). Michael Owen went the other way but also not direct.

However Phil Chisnall was transferred direct from Man Utd to Liverpool in 1964

There were a few who played for both teams pre war as well but not sure who and which direction they went.

But United have never bought direct off Liverpool.
Anyway who's question is it?

In Matts absence I though it was yours

Sorry lads, went 'walk about' over the weekend.

An easy one for Monday morning - who now plays at the Macron Stadium and what was it called before?

Sad times that so many football clubs give naming rights of their stadiums away to the highest bidders, as if top division football needs any more money thrown at it ...

That would be the home of Bolton Wanderers I believe, formerly the Reebok?

 

[MrCoop]

Spot on Stuart

And before that they played at Burnden Park for over a 100 years,

What was the name of the boxer that Edith Piaf had an affair with in the late 1940s?

Agreed. I've read that Read Madrid have agreed a deal to rename their stadium to the Abu Dhabi Bernabeu. It's nowhere near Abu Dhabi!

 

[StuartW]

What a shame that would be - I'm a Nottingham Forest Fan and we are all desperately hoping that the City Ground stays just that but I think it only be a matter of time, especially as we are losing millions each season

 

[daverichardson]

I know the boxer's name, it's coming to me...............
Marci????????????????? er thats all folks

 

[StuartW]

Close Dave, very close. Widely thought to be the greatest French boxer of all time

 

[daverichardson]

Yes I know. but
Don't you just hate it when the name will not materialise
Must be my age

 

[StuartW]

I had to look it up too but I'm allowed as I was setting the question!

 

[zagatoes30]

Wasn't he killed in a plane crash? I can't get his name either and that is my age

 

[daverichardson]

Yes Yes Zagatoes you are right
A plane crash did for him
He was French Algerian and he was called
Marcel...............
