MCIVTA Supporters Quiz - January 2005

Be victorious in the MCIVTA Supporters Quiz and win a fabulous A2 sized (594mm x 420mm) picture of Paul Dickov celebrating the stunning injury time equalizer during the 1999 Division 2 Play-off final. The picture is generously donated to the competition by legendsfc.com.

The picture is printed on high grade art paper. The image area has been coated with a UV finish which gives it a deep, photographic quality sheen. Please note that the quality of the print is far higher than can be shown on the web-page.

The print is individually numbered by hand and delivered in a tube to your stated address by legendsfc.com.

Competition rules:

  1. The competition runs for one week starting January 18th 2005.
  2. A jury consisting of Svenn A. Hanssen, Paul Howarth and Heidi Pickup will process the incoming answers and judge their correctness. Family members of the persons involved in the jury are not allowed to participate in the competition.
  3. Questions will be published in the MCIVTA newsletter and at the Supporters Homepage during the week for as long as the competition runs. The correct answer to a question will be posted in the next issue of MCIVTA and on the web-page as soon as the next issue is out.
  4. To participate you will have to submit the answer to one or more questions together with your name, e-mail address, and your "private identifier", by using a web-form on the quiz page (the identifier is to
    prevent someone else from answering questions on your behalf, and must be kept the same throughout the whole competition).
  5. Participants are only allowed to submit one answer per question. If multiple answers are delivered by one person, the jury is free to discard all of the answers as invalid.
  6. Answers to questions presented in one issue will only be accepted until the next issue is out (with the correct answer to the questions). If for some reason an answer is recieved after the next issue is out it will be discarded by the jury.
  7. Answers that the jury finds invalid, incorrect, or not precise enough will be rated as wrong. The decision of the jury will be final and no correspondence shall be entered into.
  8. The participant with the most correct answers wins the competition. If more than one participant has all the answers right (or there is a tie for the winning position) a draw will be made by the jury to decide who the winner is.
  9. The winner will be announced in the next MCIVTA after the competition has closed.

*) A wonderful and precise answer to this question was given by the winner John Leigh: "The direct consequence was that there was a minor pitch invasion, during which Denis Law was substituted. As he never played a senior game again, it became the last kick of his professional career. The goal, in a 1-0 win for City, did not directly cause the relegation of Manchester United. The match was later abandoned after 83 minutes, following a more serious pitch invasion, with the FA deciding that the score line should stand as the result of the match."
