1st off I know zero about football but my brother-in-law asked this question to my football mad wife, see if you can come up with the answer

Sunderland did it in 79, Villa did it in 81 who did it in 84 ?

Erm, not a clue, but which is the only English league team with a name that doesn't have at least one letter (b, d, o, p etc) which can be coloured in?

Great trick question!

Alan Sunderland scored the winning goal for Arsenal in the FA Cup Final in 1979.

Ricky Villa scored the winning goal for Spurs in the 1981 FA Cup Final replay.

So the answer is ANDY GRAY, who scored the second and winning goal for Everton in the 1984 FA Cup Final against Watford. (Sharp scored the first goal, and Everton won 2-0.)

Give that man a large hat - I picked that up from a novel in which one of the characters was forever coming up with ridiculous trivia questions much like that.

I love answering trivia questions, but I'm really not much good at setting them.

I thought that those two questions were real crackers.

As I said it was my Brother-In-Law that posed the trick question which I thought was rather good but then I know nothing about football and would not have been able to answer it myself

Of course you fellas know a football is supposed to be oval shaped and thrown, right?
