Football trivia

[FestiveJack]

Played for England twice, scoring once, despite scoring 32 in 36 in his best season for United. Was one of the first players to be inducted in some form of North American soccer Hall of Fame.

[badotori]

Is it Dennis Viollet? Only United player I can think of from that era who had a lot to do with football in America.

[FestiveJack]

You are correct.

[badotori]

Never thought having a United-mad dad would work in my favour .

Something along those lines.

[Matt]

That's got to be a manager that never had a successful career but I can't think who it might be. That or Lineker has just picked the most obscure player ever

[Lineker]

You're on the right tracks.

[Adam]

Karl Robinson?

[Lineker]

Correct!

[Cymbols]

Aww I was thinking Karl Robinson but I managed to confuse him with Carl Robinson and wondered why Toronto weren't on there...

[Matt]

Bah, I wasn't getting there, I'd completely forgotten about him

[Adam]

I finally went in this thread at the right time! Usually I've either just missed out on an answer or Rafa has posted some random Brazilian.

Typing that out manually was fun.

Dacourt?

[King Ellis]

I wonder if El Tel ever did drive him to Rome.

[Adam]

Dacourt?

Oui!
