Q 1:-IDENTIFY X
• X had just signed for Bayern and was due to play for Wales
against Czechoslovakia in Prague in a Euro ’88 qualifier. “I had
dinner with Uli Hoeness who asked me what time the Wales match
was,” he said. “I told him it was around midday and he said: ‘That’s
OK then, you can play in the evening as well.'” Hoeness watched the
game and then flew him to the Bayern game on the other side of
the Czech border where Borussia Monchengladbach were the
opponents. “We actually flew over the ground and missed the first
half, but I got there at the start of the second half.” Bayern won.
• Id X, who played for both Wales and Bayern Munich on the same
day.

Q 2: -The origin story of which club’s
kit?
• In 1886, before the Club became professional, a small group of Nottingham
Forest players, Fred Beardsley, Bill Parr and Charlie Bates, joined Dial Square
FC, (the Club's first name) and brought their old red kit along with them.
• Working to a tight budget, the Club decided the most inexpensive way of
acquiring a strip was to kit out the team in the same color as the ex-Forest
players. This original kit comprised a dark red shirt with long sleeves, a
collar and three buttons down the front. The shirt was worn with white
knee length shorts and heavy woolen socks with blue and white hoops.
• It was the arrival of manager Herbert Chapman, the 'Great Innovator', in
1925 that launched the _______ kit as we know it today. Depending on
which source you believe, Chapman either noticed someone at the ground
wearing a ___ sleeveless sweater over a white shirt or played golf with
famous cartoonist of the day Tom Webster, who wore something similar.

Origin story of the Arsenal home kit.

Q 3: -What is the field recording of?
• In 1971, Pink Floyd released a song named Fearless. Near the
beginning and the end of this beautiful song, there is a field
recording of fans of a certain club, superimposed over the
music. Towards the closing seconds of the song, it is even
possible to hear the fans chanting ‘_________’, which is the
name of the team.
• Sadly, there is no verified explanation as to why exactly Pink
Floyd used this recording in the song. So the only possible way
to find out is to ask one of the three living members of the
original five, namely, Nick Mason, Roger Waters and David
Gilmour.

Recording of Liverpool fans singing
“You’ll never Walk Alone”

Q 4:- What was exactly shown in the
video investigations?
• In 1989, a certain Roberto Rojas(image in next slide) was in goal for
Chile's 1990 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Brazil at Rio de
Janeiro's Maracanã stadium. Chile, down 1–0, would be eliminated from
the upcoming World Cup if they lost.
• Around the 70-minute mark of the match, Rojas fell to the pitch writhing and
holding his forehead. A firework, thrown from the stands by a Brazilian fan,
was smoldering on the pitch about a yard away. It seemed that Rojas had been
hit by the firework, an incident that could've had the match nullified and
possibly even have had Brazil penalized by FIFA. Rojas, his head bloodied, was
carried off the field; his teammates then refused to return claiming that
conditions were unsafe. The match was unfinished.
• However, video investigations revealed something else later, which resulted in
the match being awarded as a win for Brazil and subsequently got Chile
banned from the 1994 World Cup and Rojas got a ban for life.

He self inflicted the head wound
with a razor blade hidden in his glove.

Q5: - Id X, a famous player himself.
• Ronaldo Luiz Nazario de Lima was part of the Brazil squad that won the
World Cup in 1994 at the age of 17. But he came to be known as X (which
means ‘Little Ronaldo’ in Portuguese) because Ronaldo Rodrigues de
Jesus, his older teammate, was also called Ronaldo and
was nicknamed Ronaldao (which tranlsates to ‘Big Ronaldo’).
• In the 1996 Olympics, where Brazil won the bronze medal, Ronaldo played
with the name X on his shirt since Ronaldo Guiaro, who was two years
senior to him, was one of his teammates.
• Three years later another Brazilian player with the name Ronaldo (full
name: Ronaldo de Assis Moreira) joined the Brazilian national team, but
by then, Ronaldo Nazario was the only other person with the same name
in the squad. Therefore, Ronaldo Moreira was called X ______ and even
today the whole world fondly calls him by this name.

X- RONALDINHO
• Ronaldo wore the name Ronaldinho during 1996
Olympics

Q6: - ID X
• Chelsea fans have been bringing X to the Bridge for decades now—
most likely in order to pay homage to their chant “X" (warning:
inappropriate language).
• However, according to a club statement from 2007, the Blues have
reminded fans that bringing it to the ground is in fact outlawed and
that any fan caught bringing the "dangerous" vegetable to the
ground could face a lifetime ban from the Blues' home ground. A
report from The Guardian says,” The throwing of anything at a
football match, including X, is a criminal offence for which you can
be arrested and end up with a criminal record.”
• The statement then goes on to direct fans to a hotline they could
call to report others seen carrying X.

CHANTS (NSFW)
• Celery, celery.
If she don’t cum,
I’ll tickle her bum,
With a lump of celery.”

Q 7:- Who are we talking about?

Q8:- The following story is considered
as Football’s answer to ________.
• Matthew Benham, owner of Smartodds, Brentford FC and part-owner of
Danish side FC Midtjylland, has pioneered the use of analytics in football.
Through innovation, intelligence and statistics, he has achieved success
with both clubs, as well as provoking intrigue and suspicion in equal
measure.
• When you go to a football match you often say ‘we should have won that’
and you base that opinion on how many chances your team created
compared to how many chances the other team has created. Football is
always about chance creation. “Expected goals, which is the name given to
this statistical measure, is a way of quantifying this. Not only looking at the
quantity of shots which take place but also the quality of them. “You
assess each shot and you give it a probability of ending up in a goal. And
that then correlates to an expected goals value.

Q9:- This is the story of which
club?
Q : - At the turn of the century, this club’s parlous finance was of bigger concern than its below
par performances and facilities. The situation worsened when their club president, William
Healey, approached the court to issue a winding up order for the money the club owed him. The
club’s debt amounted to £2,500 pounds and with no benefactor in sight, the court declared the
club bankrupt.
It was during this dire situation that the club found its saviours in Harry Stafford and his St.
Bernard, Major. Harry Stafford was the club’s skipper and a true well wisher. He used to send his
St. Bernard around the Bank Street ground on match days to collect donations to run the club.
During a 4- day fundraiser setup to raise money for the club, the dog became the main
attraction. Legend goes that at the end of the fourth day, the dog ran away and entered a local
pub in which John Henry Davies, the owner of a flourishing local brewery was present. Davies’
daughter fancied the dog and its ownership was tracked back to Stafford.
So one of the most important meetings in the history of the club took place under accidental
circumstances, and Stafford convinced Davies to invest in the club and clear off its debts.

MANCHESTER UNITED
• There is even a book by the name “The Lost Dog that saved Manchester
United” based on this remarkable incident.

Q10: -Identify this player.
• A 2013 Google Doodle( image in next slide) featured a frame-
by-frame sketch of Brazilian footballer X performing a 'bicycle
kick' on what would have been his 100th birthday.
Born in Rio de Janeiro in 1913, the player was seen as the
inventor of the bicycle kick after first using it in a 1932 match
between his club Bonsucesso and Carioca. The unusual move
caught on and was most notably used during his time playing for
São Paulo in a 8-0 victory over Juventus.
He played for Brazil's national team 19 times, scoring 21 goals
and continued to delight spectators with his acrobatic displays on
the pitch until his retirement from the game in 1950.

Q11: - Identify the player.
Put funda on the transfer
• X is someone whose name is bound to trigger extreme
emotions of hatred amongst a certain North London club, as
he famously left them for their fiercest rivals after 9 years,
leaving behind a heartbroken and angry fan base.
He went on to play for the likes of Portsmouth, Newcastle
United and Notts County with a career spanning almost 2
decades in English football.
His transfers however, were always a point of debate due to a
certain characteristics trend to his transfers. Something, that
astounded experts considering the quality of the players.

Sol Campbell
All were free transfers

Q 12:- Funda behind what?
A notable feature in his physical appearance is his broken teeth, which are a
result of the intense street fights X used to be involved in during his
childhood. He participated in these fights mostly for the money and also
because that was the culture in his neighborhood. However the following is
the backstory of a more prominent appearance feature.
In the lower settlements of Fuerte Apache, allegedly, one Adriana Neomi
Martinez once left hot water to boil and went out to do some other
household work. The water continued to boil and eventually reached scalding
temperatures. Unknown to her knowledge, the water was now dangerous and
capable of causing third degree burns. Her playful son accidentally knocked
over the boiling pot, and caused the little kid third degree burns. For months
on end it wasn't sure whether the child would survive.

Q1: - Which term/phrase?
• Before the Industrial Revolution – when men, women and even children
flocked to the factories to make a living – it was far more common for
workers to travel from job to job. Rather than joining a team,
tradesmen, craftsmen and labourers would move around on their own,
carrying their own tools and supplies, and find work where they could
get it. The easiest way to lug their tools around was in a ____, which
they would then leave with their employer for safe keeping.
• The origin of the phrase, therefore, starts to become clear. With no job
security, contracts or trade unions, workers could be discharged at a
moment’s notice. Once their services were no longer required, they
were literally given their ____, before being ordered to pack it up and
leave.

Q2: - Which name?
• Professor Stefan Szymanski of the Michigan University recently
revealed why this alternate name has come up and put the blame
partly on the British.
• The word ‘______’ is believed to have originated in Britain in the
18th century, some 200 years ago. It came from the official name of
the game “association football.” As other versions of the game
evolved, like Rugby football, the British adopted colloquialisms to
distinguish each game.
• Thus Rugby football became “______”, a term still used in the 21st
century and “association football” became “______”.
• The word ‘______’ slowly gained popularity among certain masses
as it helped them differentiate between different sports.

domestic clubs of financial mismanagement, following the rapid decline
in the 2000s of _____ ______ __, a Premier League club that invested
heavily to reach the semi-finals of the lucrative Champions
League European competition, but in the process built up large debts.
The club suffered a "financial meltdown" after failing to continue to
qualify for the competition, and subsequently dropped down two levels
of the football pyramid, into the third tier, Football League One, for the
first time in their history.
• The phrase is sometimes also used in relation to other clubs, for

Q1:- Which shocking event?
Q: - An article by The Guardian, titled “78 minutes in the life (and near death) of
_______ ______”, talks about one of the most shocking events on the football
pitch and how about a fan in attendance of that match turned out to be the savior
of a footballer’s life.
The article goes something like this, “Everyone knew something was wrong as the
player ‘fell like a tree trunk, he didn’t put out his arms to break his fall, or
anything, just dropped.’ A certain Spurs fan Dr. Andrew Deaner managed to get on
the pitch by convincing a steward, and helped the medical team with the CPR and
defibrillation, and accompanied them on the ambulance.” The article goes on to
tell how Dr. Deaner’s persuasion to take ______ to the London Chest Hospital in
Bethnal Green – almost eight miles away – rather than, as had been planned, the
North Middlesex, much nearer to White Hart Lane, may have helped to save the
footballer's life.
What is this event that this whole story is talking about?

Fabrice Muamba’s Cardiac arrest
in Spurs vs Bolton(FA CUP 2012)

Q2 :- Id X & Y
• As we have seen several times, there is something about being a
football lover which seems to lend itself to 'X' . A lot of fans over
the past few years have gained traction for their bizzare and baffling
choices of 'X' ; however the one involving a Liverpool fan(it was a
tribute to 'Y‘, a kind of underrated player) became quite famous.
• Although it was ridiculed by some fans as being a huge
misunderstanding by this particular fan, it actually had a very
touching backstory to it. The fan told about how this bizzare piece
was a tribute to his passed away friend whom he would tease by
calling the name of Y in the wrong way.
• Id X and Y from what instantly became famous over the internet.

X- Tatoos
Y – Adam Lallana (this is the story of the ‘adam lallama’

Q3:- What exhibit am I talking
about?
At a famous address namely, C. d'Aristides Maillol, s/n, 08028
Barcelona, Spain, there is a certain exhibit that signifies what
happens when something happens which the faithfuls think of as
an affront to their image and their soul.
This particular item is related to a certain very famous and
‘precious’ move which happened in July of the year 2000. Only
Denmark’s Michael Laudrup and Bernd Schuster in recent years
had dared to make this move. Laudrup said he felt the hatred "in
his bones" when he played the Clasico at Camp Nou, and was
never quite the same player but he was not “sure if it is the other
way round.”

The pig’s head which was thrown
at Luis Figo in 2002 at Camp Nou.

Q 4: - Identify the player
• Most of his vast professional career, which had spanned 25 years
and 1,257 professional club matches, was associated with São
Paulo, with which he won 20 major titles, including three Brazilian
Leagues and two Copa Libertadores. He also scored 131 goals
during his career, with most of them coming from free
kicks and penalties and one coming from open play. He is
recognized by the International Federation of Football History &
Statistics as the goalkeeper to have scored the most goals in the
history of football.
X also represented Brazil 16 times over the course of his career, being
part of the squads that won the 2002 FIFA World Cup and the 1997
FIFA Confederations Cup.

Q 5:- Identify X & Y
• X, a Y came to Scotland ahead of their Champions League
Group Stage tie against Celtic in October 2016. A pub in
Glasgow advertising the match found it to hard to spell X’s full
name, and so they just referred to them as “A Y Team” on the
chalkboard sign outside their pub. Someone tweeted about it
and it went viral.
• Never to miss an opportunity, X changed their English
account’s twitter handle to “A Y Team”, and even
manufactured merchandise with the same moniker.
• Identify X and Y.

. X-Borussia Monchengladbach
Y-German

Q 6:- ID the team(X=blank)

never beaten Scottish club ______ ______ in four attempts. In
fact, X have a 100% win record against Barcelona in official
games.
Before Barcelona’s crushing defeat against Bayern Munich in the
semifinal of the Champions League in 2013, the last time they
lost both legs of a European tie was way back in 1987 and their
nemesis on that occasion were X. The Scots are also the only
British club to have achieved this rare feat.
Interestingly Barcelona’s strikers on that night were Mark Hughes
and former Tottenham star, Gary Lineker.

which is being talked about.
• _____ _______, while playing against Deportivo La
Coruña in a UEFA Champions League quarter-final game
in 2002, was subject to a tackle from Argentina's Aldo
Duscher. This tackle broke the second metatarsal in his
left foot and seriously threatened England's chances in
the 2002 World Cup. Since he was the media darling at
the time, and the bone (and the tackle) received a wave
of publicity; subsequently, the name “_______ bone" was
born.

Q9: - What was the nickname
given?
• While faltering in the 90s, after the success in 80s, many
Liverpool fans criticized the attention grabbing behavior
and lavish lifestyles of some players. Perhaps the most
apt description of them was given by The Daily Mail who
described the players’ inroad into glossy magazines
(rather) than in the league table.
• These unruly players including Robbie Fowler and Jamie
Redknapp, were given a very specific nickname, coined
due to rumors of a relationship between Fowler and
Emma Burton?

• Spice boys, after the spice girls

Q 10:- What did Touré do?
• A farcical situation unfolded in the Champions League last-16 tie between
AS Roma and Arsenal in 2009. Kolo Touré(then Arsenal defender) called it
his most embarrassing moment on a football pitch.
• At the start of the second half, while William Gallas, Touré’s partner in
crime, was receiving treatment on the sidelines, Touré did something
owing to his personal superstition, and when he saw that the play had
started, he tried to remedy his actions, but compounded the situation and
promptly received a yellow card from the referee.
• "The good thing is that I have learnt a new rule," he said somewhat
sheepishly after the 1–0 win at Emirates Stadium. "William was adjusting
his boots [on the touchline] so maybe that's what saved him [from a
booking]. But it's good I'm the only one that got booked. If it's the both of
us, I'm thinking that could be a problem."

• Touré’s personal superstition is to always be the last
player to come out on the pitch. He waited for Gallas
to finish receiving his treatment at the sidelines so
that he could enter the pitch after him, but when he
saw that the play had resumed, he rushed onto the
field without the referee’s permission, and was
booked for his troubles.
