Right, I thought this would be a fun thread to determine the real smart people on sports.

Rules are once you have answered a question you set a new one. And so on...

I'll obviously start...

this is very difficult and a bit cheeky

Sunderland did it in 79, Villa did it in 81, who did it in 80?

a] Trevor Brooking
b] Tottenham Hotspur
c] West Ham United

Tristan

20-02-2009, 12:23 PM

er, Villa won the Premiership in 1981 I think...
But I'm not sure if Sunderland won it in 1979...
West Ham won the FA Cup in 1980 but I don't think Sunderland won it.
I'm just going to guess Trevor Brooking, lol.

Ricky Villa and Alan Sunderland scored the winning goals in the '79 and '81 cup finals and Trevor Brooking scored the winner in 1980.
