Good shout though babe, unlucky

Any chance of an update Dan? Did you make this up?!

Me thinks he did...are there even 14 countried that play footy..

Is there even 14 countries lol

Ignoring the above posts with random names thrown in everywhere- (Well, maybe taking a little inspiration )

Manucho (Angola) (Hull City)
Alek Hleb (Belarus) (Arsenal)
Shaun Goater (Bermuda) (Manchester City)
Jason Roberts (Grenada) (Blackburn Rovers)
Georgi Hristov (Macedonia) (Barnsley)
Daniel Cousin (Gabon) (Hull City)
Robert Koren (Slovenia) (West Bromwich Albion)
Marian Pahars (Latvia) (Southampton)
Ryan Nelson (New Zealand) (Blackburn Rovers)
Andranik Teimourian (Iran) (Bolton Wanderers)
CHristopher Samba (Blackburn Rovers)
Manu Adebayor (Togo) (Arsenal)
Titi Camara (Guinea) (Liverpool)
Mart Poom (Estonia) (Sunderland) That was vs Derby County in the 90th minute, cracking goal xD)
Emmerson Boyce (Barbados) (Wigan Athletic)
Junichi Inamoto (Japan) (Arsenal)

Possibly Paula Wanchope, not sure if Mauricio Solis also scored for Derby in the PL or not.......if so (Costa Rica) (Derby County)

I make that 16 or 17 people

Drogba is a no, Kalou has scored for Chelsea.
Litmanen is ruled out as Hyppia has scored for Liverpool.
Park's a no because Seol scored for WOlves and Reading.
Zheng Zie's goal for Charlton rules out Sun Jihai.....Caicedo of Man City rules out Luis Valencia and Diego Gavilan rules out Santa Cruz.
Tevez is a no and Claudio Pizzaro means Nobby Solano is a no. Kinzladze and Ketsbaia means no Georgians.
Rodagella means no to Asprilla and for Peschisolido see David Edgar of Newcastle.

Think that covers them all!

Is the orange ask the gaffer useful then?

Is the what useful?

The Gaffer is the football questions column in the sun isnt it.....

Wikipedia is useful though, took me an hour to rule out half the names mentioned by you lot

Edit: Ahh i get ya after a quick google, add Ruel Fox who is apparently from some obscure country (I thought he was English :S) and Shaun Maloney who is apparently Malaysian to that list then.....

I know Samba is wrong as Tresor LuaLua is also Congo

Almost sure Poom's goal was in the Championship rather than the Premiership as well

Just checked that out warney, Lualua is from the Democratic Republic of Congo. Christopher Samba is The Republic of Congo!

Two different countries who border each other

Despite that video, which I had to put up for any watching Derby fans, it does appear that Poom's goal was scored in The CCC. I found the match report on BBC from the game and it appears under the Championship section!

lol

I think the mart poom one is mentioned there too isnt it? but shaun maloney gets rejected!

was a good question though

1) When was Mart Poom's goal?
2) Which goalie scored in the Football League this or last month?

(not official game questions, just me being curious)

I've played on Football Manager and managed DR Congo as the country doesn't have a manager and I have BOTH of them players in my team, so Samba is DR Congo as well, same country


Poom's goal was 2003, Lonergan scored a while ago too for Preston, but most valuable goalkeeper goal goes to the legendary Jimmy Glass who's goal for Carlisle in 1999 saved them from the Conference and doomed Scarborough forever it seems

Wikipedia says "On the 2 October 2004 Lonergan scored a goal from his own penalty area in the 39th minute against Leicester City to equalise. The game ended in a 1-1 draw." But some goalie did score in either the Championship, League One or League Two in 2009. Who?

Chris Weale for Yeovil against former club Hereford in a 2-2 draw.

MMT will remember Paul Smith getting a goal in the League Cup within a minute a few years ago

Best goalscoring keeper is Luis Chilavert, over 50 goals for club and country

Manucho (Angola)
Emmerson Boyce (Barbados)
Aleksandr Hleb (Belarus)
Shaun Goater (Bermuda)
Christopher Samba (Congo)
Paulo Wanchope (Costa Rica)
Mart Poom (Estonia)
Daniel Cousin (Gabon)
Jason Roberts (Grenada)
Andranik Teimourian (Iran)
Marian Pahars (Latvia)
Georgi Hristov (Macedonia)
Ryan Nelson (New Zealand)
Emmanuel Adebayor (Togo).


there the ones tht were on the quiz

sum gd questions on there colin m8

warney- wiki says otherwise, FM need a kick up the backside in that case Who the hell manages Congo on that anyway

I remember the Jimmy Glass one clearly, I had been at a Mansfield game and it was on the radio at the end of our game, as my Dad waited anxiously to see if he was losing his Cumbrian seasonly jaunt

Chilavert was a legend with his set pieces lol!

Danny- You should mail the site and explain that Mart Poom hasn't actually done it, his goal appears to have been scored in The CCC.....I thought they were both in the PL that season but BBC Sport says different!

And I think Colin was insinuating I had got my answers from the site (As opposed to saying the site was good) rather than using my wikipedia and google skills to go through about a hundred countries off FM, see if they have had players in The PL, which had scored and if more than 1 had scored.
Santa Cruz seemed a good shout as did Park and Jihai until I searched the country

So I guess it wasn't all my own knowledge I used but it was an impossible question without doing some research

A name I would love to throw in is George Weah. Liberian international that scored for Chelsea and Manchester City in the Premiership. That said, just remembered his relatives, such as Christopher Wreh, scorer for Arsenal maybe

Was going to say LuaLua, but Shabani Nonda is there too.

Collins John was born in Liberia as well

I researched both Congo nations after you pointed that out, Blackburn seem to have a thing for signing players who have no other people who have scored in the PL!
If you look at my list, the majority of those players are at Northern teams, I think just 4 players are from the South

Thing about Collins John is that he was born in Liberia, but played for Holland, so which country does he represent in this question?

I mean, Chris Samba was born in France, unusual one that a French man leaves for Africa than come from an African background. lol

Another thought, how many Poles have scored in the Premiership, Gregorz Rasiak is the only one I can think of off the top of my head

Rasiak never scored in the PL did he?

And yeah good point on Samba, odd one that

As for John, you are right there, depends on the rules surrounding the question I guess
