Sports Trivia

99.99999% sure it was indeed Rob Howley, legendary Welsh scrum-half (and captain for a while IIRC) that he was. Probably the only top flight rugby player every to retire due to a wrist injury! (Ok, so he was probably going to retire anyway, but...).

[lanky316]

Howley it was. Agree with the idea he'd have retired anyway, the injury just helped give him the nudge and wouldn't really have been a better time to call it quits.

Lets do a different sport.

Muhammed Ali had an undefeated 31-0 record when he lost his first match to another undefeated (26-0) boxer. Who is was this boxer?

I'm guessing Ken Norton, but I think I'm wrong.

[Rich]

You are wrong unfortunately, Norton was his second defeat.

[GhostMachine]

Joe Frazier?

[Liam]

Yeah, that's right.

Since nobody has got an answer in six days, I hope people don't mind me jumping in here. If they do, feel free to ignore this question.

What was unusual about Hector Castro, the Uruguayan striker who scored Uruguay's fourth in the 1930 Football/Soccer World Cup Final?

[EddieG]

He only had 1 arm.

[jack95]

Correct.

[EddieG]

Everybody always remembers the first time a milestone happened, and those who know baseball, know that Cy Young threw the first perfect game in the modern era MLB.

So I ask you, who threw the second perfect game in the modern era MLB, who did he play for, and who was it against?

[GhostMachine]

Addie Joss. He played for Cleveland, but they weren't called the Indians back then. He beat the Chicago White Sox.

[EddieG]

yeah, they were known as the cleveland naps at the time, the floor's yours.

There have been 44 Super Bowls and surprisingly there has yet to be a shutout. But there IS one Super Bowl where the losing team only scored 3 pts. Name the two teams in that particular Super Bowl.

[TheHurk]

Dallas Cowboys and the Miami Dolphins, Super Bowl VI. Cowboys won 24-3.
