Which former England captain has scored the most goals against Liverpool?

I'm tempted to say Gary Lineker. In fact, I did.

Raith Rovers are in Kirkcaldy.

Oops, my Google-Fu isn't up to scratch today. Fife is of course the county Kirkcaldy is in.

Urgh. If it's trick questions, I'm out of here.

 

[Slugger]

It's Emlyn Hughes ! (26 own goals)

Favorite Emlyn Hughes fact: He had a son called Emlyn and a daughter called Emma Lynn !

He did. He lived in Dore, was a regular in the Hare and Hounds pub, and tighter than a duck's arse. His son was a decent enough chap, but old man Emlyn didn't like paying full price for anything.


And yes, Gazza was the first 2 million player. Another Hare and Hounds patron.....

 

[Basing Blade]

how or why did Emlyn end upliving in Sheffield?

The Hughes clan were often in for quiz nights. In fact, I think the son might have been question master for a while.

Gazza was in the Devonshire Arms as well once upon a time (formerly my local of choice), with Waddle and Palmer. Ugly buggers the lotta them.

 

[Kenilworth]

how or why did Emlyn end upliving in Sheffield?

He managed Rovrum for a while. Liked Sheffield and stayed.

He also used to go to the Rising Sun and allegedly used to have an eye for very unattractive ladies (on the basis that he wouldn't have touched it with yours) but that is just heresay and unsubstantiated - unless you lot know otherwise.

Do you really want to turn this into the "Pubs Gazza has been in" thread?

 

[Nick Jansky]

how or why did Emlyn end upliving in Sheffield?

Stems from when he managed Rotherham, and ended up staying.

 

[JohnDenver]

Well I'm not busy for the next month. How are you fixed?
