Selectabet Quiz of the Week

I’m so bored! The football season is finished and it seems like ages till it gets going again. Euro 2008 is over as is Wimbledon. There’s just nothing to getting our teeth into as far as betting goes.

So I thought I’d amuse myself and maybe a few of you out there with a wee quiz. Some questions are more difficult than others but why not test your ‘SQ’ and take part. There’s no prizes – it’s just for fun. Just enter any answers that you know in the comments below.

1. French coach Raymond Domenech managed to avoid the boot despite France’s abysmal showing at Euro 2008 but how many trophies has he won in his managerial career?

2. Who was the last player outside the ‘big four’ to win the Premiership Golden Boot?

3. Aside from all the various Athletics disciplines, which sport has provided the most BBC Sports Personality of Year Award winners?

4. Since it’s inception 20 years ago, how many teams have competed in the Scottish Premier League, not including this season’s debutants Hamilton Academicals?

5. Tottenham Hotspur’s club motto is ‘Audere est Facere‘. What does it mean?

6. What do Tony Adams, Maurice Malpas, Gary Kelly, Matt Le Tissier, Paolo Maldini and Ryan Giggs have in common?

7. 3 Norwegians have won Premiership winners medals in England. Name them.

8. If you were watching the Glovers taking on the Minstermen, which two teams would you be watching?

9. Which player finished top goal scorer at World Cup 98 in France with 6 goals?

10. Who am I? I had a 5-year spell in English football, picking up an FA Cup winner’s medal in my time there. Prior to playing in England I had a successful spell in Holland and finished my career with two clubs in France. I am remembered for being involved in a famous penalty but in my homeland my name has infamously entered the national vocabulary due to a howler I made at the World Cup in 1986. I now live in Melbourne, Australia and am recovering from a life-threatening condition.

Good Luck
