Possibly a well known one.... but.... The only team in the English football leagues to have a name in which any of the letters cant be coloured in....

e.g

Manchester City - you could colour the a and the e's in.

Liverpool - the e' and the o's. etc etc.

The other week, Roberto Di Matteo became the latest person to win the FA cup both as a player and as a manager. Since 1945, three others have done it with the same club (manager and player). Who are they?

That was hard-
Kenny Dalgleish, Terry Venables and George Graham

An easy question which European team did City copy their Black and Red kit from?

Gianluca.

Do I get nothing for answering the6 yard box question too?
Never criticise a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes.
That way when you do criticise him you'll be a mile away.
And you'll have his shoes.

Sorry I edited my answer above with what seems to be the correct 3, ie Dalgleish, Venables and Graham.
I was wrong with Souness he won the FA youth cup but not the senior FA cup.
My simple question would be "what European team was our red and black kit based on?"

The FA winners where managers and players for the same club are:
Dalgleish, Venables and Graham.
(I was wrong with Souness he won the FA youth cup but not the senior FA cup.)
Assuming this is correct...pretty sure it is...
My simple question would be "what European team was City's red and black kit based on?"

Does Gianluca Vialli not count?

and Big Mal was copying Milan

Wasnt Vialli a sort of Player/manager that carried on managing when he stopped playing without a break at the club as opposed to the others that left and came back as managers of the club. However technically yes I suppose you're right!
Also correct on Milan of course!
Your turn I assume?

What was unusual about Danny Rowe's substitution while playing for Stockport in March of this year?

Other way round I think. Dalglish was player manager when he won it. Vialli was a player under Gullit, then replaced him as manager.

The person replacing him had the same name. ie Danny Rowe on for Danny Rowe
