    I think there was a Danish player who played against Ireland at Lansdowne one afternoon in late 1985 who got taken off and was flown to West Germany where he played for Bayern that evening.

    No club won three straight in the 1980s. Although you just say the 80s which given the FA cup started in 1872 then it’s 1880-1889 you mean but even after all that I don’t know who it’d be outside of it being a northern club as they were dominant in the league and cup in the early years.

    Edit: I’m not going to check the spoiler tag but am I in the right part of the parish ?

    It's Brazil I think, due to French Guyana being treated as part of France (unlike the UK with overseas areas).

    Or Guyana, but it's one of them.


    French Guyana is actually part of the EU. Their currency is even the Euro. So if you're an EU passport holder you can move there no problem. Don't know what you'd do with yourself as I'd say jobs are probably limited but it could be fun for a year or two.

    Correct, same street, ridiculously close if you look on google maps.

    I drove past them a few years ago heading out to carnouiste to watch the open.
    I was stunned by how close they are.
    If they'd any sense they would just build one decent stadium between them
