If you are like me and you enjoy being an know-it and a swot

OR

you fancy yourself to be the walking version of the Manchester United Opus

Then stick all your questions here and hope that everyone spectaculary fails to get the answer...

Rules---->>

Answer the question I have asked and ONLY after it has been answered correctly does someone else stick a question here. Therefore rather than having hundreds of questions you are all fighting each other to answer one question at a time. The first person with the right answer can then stick a question here...therefore getting a reward for being the first to get it right and post it first.

I start with a question-

1) who was the first player to score a hat-trick for the club?


and errr go...

Are we including Newton Heath?

Are we including pre-football league Newton Heath? Edit: If so, well, I'd be more than impressed if anyone knew. Not even sure you could look that one up.

Great idea...


Are you allowed to have mulitiple guesses??

If so, I would pick either Billy Meredith or John Picken.

Yes you can and it is before Billy's playing days at United-Pre 1900 if that gives a clue.

As far as I know, the first and second hat tricks were scored on the same day. Not sure if that's right, or if it is, who completed their's first.

William Stewart?

William Stewart?

It was Robert Donaldson who was also the first player to score a goal for NH in the football league which was against Blackburn Rovers (NH lost 4-3) on 3 September 1892 and he later transfered to Luton. It was on the 10th October 1892 in a 10-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers.It was one of three hat-tricks he scored.

Although William Stewart is also credited with a hat-trick in the same game so good guess there RoM. I think as I cannot find the timings of the goals that you might as well stick a question because you are half-right I think.

Who played for Manchester United one week, Manchester City the next, and not a penny changed hands in transfer fees? It wasn't Dennis Law.

Which manchester City player scored more times at Old Trafford than he ever did at Maine Road? Again, it wasn't Dennis Law.

I've got to think of a question? Alright, give me a bit to devise something fiendish.
