1. Freight Rover?
4. Paul Hayes for Scunthorpe against Luton?
wigan (paul rogers in the last min against millwall)
correct about the gormless but not WBA or Fulham
2. Bolton?
5. 4-1 against Barnet
6. Wagstaff, Tuna?
Also recall this being called the Frieght rover cup and the sherpa van cup (not 100% about the latter though).
Bournemouth were the first winners. someone told me this this a few months ago and for some reason stuck in my head.
As for Premier clubs to have won it, can only think of Stoke. A stoke supporting work colleague was bragging about this at work, think it was the same season we went up as champs but not totally sure.
It scares me that I know more than I should about a competition I care so little about. :-(
Name the other six. In order Freight Rover, Sherpa Van, Leyland Daf, Autoglass, Auto Windscreens, LDV Vans
2. Name the five current premier league clubs who have won the trophy (under any of its names)

Impressive or sad how much you all know : - )
McLeod I think was one.
