Competition rules

Prize:

Be victorious in the MCIVTA Supporters Quiz and win a signed copy of the Shaun Goater biography "Feed the GOAT".

A true City legend, the modest and efficient Goater made the most out of his career after moving to a struggling City side in 1998. A the time City was doomed to play in the third tier of English football for the first time, but Goater soon became a crowd favourite. His scoring abilities saw him net 102 times in 209 games for the blues, including 28 goals during the 2001-02 promotion season.

Questions   Correct answer
     
1
 Which former City player got his name on T-shirts claiming that "his grandad bombed Old Trafford"?   Plain and simply: Uwe Rõsler
     
2
 Which English club's have Shaun Goater played for?  

A small warm up nut for you all as the question clearly is which clubs he played for and here only official games counts. Goater did not play any games for Manchester United although he was in their books as a youngster. A few have commented on this and that is accepted. But you need to get all the others correct as well, including his sole game on loan at Coventry ...

The correct answer is: Rotherham, Notts County, Bristol City, Manchester City, Reading, Coventry City, Southend United

Who was the 5th Captain to lift a trophy for City at Wembley Stadium?

  

A little more tricky this one. The first ever trophy won by City was the FA-cup lifted by Billy Meredith in 1904, then three more FA-cup wins in 1934 (Sam Cowan), 1956 (Roy Paul), and 1969 (Tony Book), before two League-cup wins in 1970 (Book again) and then in 1976, when Mike Doyle did the honours.

Now Doyley would have been the correct answer had it not been for the question stating "at Wembley". The first cup win in 1904 was actually played at the Crystal Palace, leaving Andy Morrison as the fifth City captain to raise a trophy in triumph at Wembley when City won the 2nd Division play-off final against Gillingham in 1999.....
     
4
 Which (if any) players did Steve Coppel sign during his few days in charge as City manager?   Eddie McGoldrick was the only permanent signing by Coppell, while Simon Rodger was brought in on loan.

 Which City player scored a hat trick in a youth game for England against Holland, but never played for his country again despite experiencing great success at club level?   Neil Young

 Which former City favourite was first rejected by Arsenal where he recieved a letter stating: "hope you find a club whose standards are not as high as the Arsenal"?   Who could have believed it? It was in fact our old maestro Colin Bell
