2. Who is the only person to have won the league cup in both England and Scotland ?

Since being asked this question yesterday i have been unsure about the league cup one and have just found out that there are 2 players !!!!! ;D

Hi Milhouse, happy new year and good to see someone else coming up with a quiz.

I can answer 1) I think:

Peter Schmeichel scored for Aston Villa v Everton :-[ (tart points ?)in 2001/02.
And Brad Friedel scored for Blackburn v Charlton in 2003/04.

[milhouse]

Happy New Year to you too :)

Both correct for 2 pts.

For Question 2, I'll say Fergie, although it sounds too obvious :
Alex Ferguson, Scottish League Cup winner with Aberdeen '85-86
and (English) League Cup Winner with Manchester United 2005-6.

But that's as a manager, of course, and I'm at a loss to think of a player - unless it's John Hartson, recently at Celtic and whilst a very young player at Arsenal.

[milhouse]

No and No.
It is as a player, not as a manager.

Of course, silly me !
One of the players was undoubtedly Kenny Dalglish, who won the Scottish League Cup with Celtic in 1975, and the English equivalent four times with Liverpool (1981,82,83,84). ;D

Is the other Roy Keane Man U and Celtic

Sadly, I think not, Herr von Puebik. ;)
Keano won the Scottish League Cup with Celtic last year, agreed, but he never won the English League Cup with Man U, though he has 4 FA Cup wins to his name. To add insult to injury, he played in the 1992 Final for Nottm Forest but was on the losing side........who won ? Man Yoo. ::)

To show what a sad b*st*rd I am, I have come up with three players who do fit the answer !
1. Neil Lennon (Leicester City 1997 & 2000, and Celtic 2006)
2. Chris Woods (Nottm Forest 1978 and Rangers 1987)
and the daddy of them all...........
3. Graham Souness (Liverpool 1981,2,3 & 4 and Celtic 1987,8 & 9)
;D ;D ;D

And there still may be more to come, as I had five more candidates from which so far I have only eliminated two !

Okay, so I've managed to eliminate Jimmy Delaney, Derek Johnstone, Mark Viduka, Dion Dublin, Liam Miller, Brian McLair and Gary McAllister.

But I've come up with a FIFTH qualifier - Charlie Nicholas.
And he's a worthy one, as not only did he score the winner in 1983 for Celtic in their 2-1 win over Rangers, but he also got BOTH goals for Arsenal in their 2-1 defeat of Liverpool in the 1987 League Cup Final. ;D

So, finally the answer to your question 2) is: Dalglish, Lennon, Woods, Souness and Nicholas.

[milhouse]

Well done Tommo, i questioned it when i was asked the question as i am sure that there would be more than one. I knew you would come up with the answer(s) !

You're welcome, Milhouse.
So's not to appear too greedy I'll accept 0.5 pts for each one named in part 2. So 2pts for part 1 plus 2.5 for question 2 equals
4.5 points for tommo in all. :-*

You are more than welcome to them. As this is my quiz, i will round it up to 5pts for you :)

Why thank you, Mark. Such generosity !

Isn't everyone being nice to each other for this start to the New Year ? I wonder how long though before things are back to normal and we're kicking lumps out of each other again ! ;D ;D ;D
