VILLA ON MASTERMIND!

[Richard E]

The Scottish pop music questions were piss easy.

Yeah, did better on them ! (hangs head in shame)

Same here.

[SashasGrandad]

One wrong and no passes.

As opposed to the current team, 11 wrong and no passing

[eamonn]

His 1992/93 knowledge was rusty (Alan Evans and John Byrne) but it can't be easy under the spotlight, answering things with little time for thought.

[Chris Jameson]

10 & 13 on the Scottish pop questions.

[curiousorange]

I was gobsmacked he didn't get the Doug Ellis question. He seemed much better on the older stuff.

[Exeter 77]

I was surprised at the ones he didn't get but, anorak that I am, I got all 13.

[London Villan]

What a comeback. It's an omen.

and me

[Ron Manager]

If they wanted to be pedantic they should have failed him on the Trevor Ford answer. It should have been Trefor Ford his Welsh birth name. But being the gentle fellow he was he didn't mind the English using Trevor. Er perhaps gentle isn't the right word as most fifties goalies would tell you!

I very nearly got the Blues one wrong I couldn't remember when Doug was at Wolves and went for my first choice.

But top marks for Villa about half on the general knowledge.

Got them all. Engage Smug Mode.

[Ron Manager]

Got them all. Engage Smug Mode.

including the general knowledge?

It is not easy. Cant think why he said John Bryne though. Perhaps he meant Johnny Bryne who played for West Ham in our colours about a decade earlier.

[Percy McCarthy]

13/13.

Piss easy.

[cdbearsfan]

Got them all. Engage Smug Mode.

including the general knowledge?

Nope. I got eight on the first general knowledge round and have now interrupted viewing as my girlfriend wants to watch 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown. Will resume if she falls asleep.

[MorrisNielson]

Got all the Villa questions right.
Thought they were pretty obvious questions to go for (the European Cup, 3 of the best players in the last 25 years, 2 of the most talked about post war forwards).
Anyone who has followed the club for some time should have enough basic knowledge to at least have stab at all of those questions. The only tricky question was the 46 Derby game (guessed 6th round, couldn’t remember whether it was 5th or 6th).
Shame the Doug question wasn’t about the bicycle kick!
