No, not David Beckham.

I'll give you a clue...

The player in question made his debut for England in 1988 under Bobby Robson and his international career finished under Sven-Göran Eriksson in 2002.

David Seaman?

Indeed.

Goalkeeper David Seamen won his first cap under Bobby Robson in 1988 then Graham Taylor, Terry Venables, Glenn Hoddle, Howard Wilkinson, Kevin Keegan and finally his 75th cap under Sven-Göran Eriksson in 2002.

Was it Argentina? I've been doing a fair bit of reading about football recently and sure I read that they played only Scotland at Wembley for years and other countries at other stadiums.

Sorry for hijacking your thread, but I'm not allowed to make topics yet and this seems the best place to ask. Does anyone know where I can find the full opta stats for this season's premier league and other top leagues, or team by team. The opta webshite is stupid. Alternatively someone fancy making a thread to ask to see if anyone knows.
Thanks, and sorry

also Kaizer chiefs?

My understanding is that the full set of Opta stats are only available by subscription - and they cost a pretty penny!

You might find selected highlightes quoted in newspapers and on the web though.<br /><br />-- Sat Jul 02, 2011 11:36 am --<br /><br />Friday's answer: Tout Puissant Mazembe of the Democratic Republic of the Congo were losing Finalists to Inter Milan in 2010.

corner flag of FA cup winners are a tri-angled cut to show they won once!?

It's true that FA Cup Winners have the honour of having triangular-shaped corner flags, a custom which started when Blackburn Rovers won the last of their three consecutive FA Cup Finals from 1883 to 1885.

But that wasn't the innovation at the 1892 FA Cup Final.

So will we have triangular flags at Eastlands next season?

Saturday's answer: West Bromwich Albion beat Aston Villa 3-0 in the first FA Cup Final where goal-nets were used.

They had been invented three years earlier by civil engineer John Brodie from Liverpool.
