  • 8 is wrong. The Spare Ribs did it in 1977, two years before Liverpool.
    In 1977 Hibs became the first British club to wear sponsored shirts, featuring the Bukta logo. The television companies refused to broadcast sponsored shirts at the time so Hibs were obliged to introduce an alternative kit to be worn when the cameras were present. The first of these was in purple and white although a green and white version was introduced before the end of the season.
  • Only one no one got (although BFR did say early 60s) was

    6) In what year was the first live televised match in England, which was played between Blackpool and Bolton at Bloomfield Park?

    It was 1960

    And 8 is indeed wrong. Thanks for pointing that out McLovin.

    That will teach me not to just cut and paste quizzes emailed to me.
  • 2) Who was the first senior black England player? Jack Leslie - A call-up to the national team was cancelled when officials realized he was a "a man of colour." so he was the first although he did not actually play – the question doesn’t mention playing so can I assume this is a trick question?
