    One that I made up myself and am very proud of:

    What 1990s Premiership footballer had his name on the front and back of his shirt?
    I'm not telling you the answer. You'll just have to work it out for yourself.

    I'll be very impressed if anyone gets it.

    Yeah, he had the right idea. It's Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador.
    Yeah, I'd heard that before, just couldn't recall the mountain. I knew Aconagua was too far away from the equator.

    Ian Walker

    Edited to add: Walker's crisps sponsored Leicester at the time.

    I think Ian's father Mike was manager at the time too, if you ever wanted to add an extra layer of torture to the question.

    Answer:
    Luton Town and Notts County. Both signed the Founders Member Agreement in 1991, resigned from the Football League in February 1992 but were relegated at the end of the season and have never made it back to the top flight.

    A really good answer, because the question had me confused too, but it all makes sense now. :)

    Edit: and have only now seen the other answer, which makes sense too..........!

    GAA is my favourite topic. :)

    Mike Frank Russell is the answer you're looking for.

    Another one: who is the only player to win senior, U21 and minor inter-county All-Irelands in both hurling and football?

    Question probably shows its age as Exeter is correct along with J for St Johnstone.

    Wrexham played in English League 2 until 2008 according to Google, to make Exeter and Wrexham for X, so I'd assume the question predates that.

    Never heard of Oxford United?

    I remember seeing two players make their international debuts for Ireland while playing with that club :)

    That was part one of the question (and you're right BTW) but who was the third Oxford United player on the Irish team that day?

    (Not a debutant, bit of a veteran, but at the time Oxford were in the old First Division)

    No one like multiple choice questions?

    Just to add, I saw him do it. Not in person, but I saw all three matches on TV. Loive. So it's from the TV era. :)

    Ok had to google it.

    I did not know there was a third Oxford Utd player on that team that day.

    And sure while we are at it who was the other player from that era that went on to manage oxford Utd ?
