Football Quiz

[teddy]

Now that the footie season is over and all we have to look forward to is a few irrelevant international friendlies taking place in Switzerland and Austria, how about a football quiz to tide us over

 

I'll start:

 

An international player scored ten goals in his native country before being signed by a top Premiership side, but only netted once after his arrival.

 

He was then sold on to another European side where he failed to score at all (although he did get one for his country during his spell at this club)before being purchased by a different Premiership side where he only managed to find the net once.

 

He was then off-loaded to his third English side, where he failed to score at all.

 

He is regarded as one of the greatest players of all time.

 

Any ideas?

Yes it really is annoying isn't it. I'm surprised that Sayjann or Mekong didn't work it out. There's a clue for you :thumbup:

So one of his English clubs was Man U.

Peter Schmeichel. :thumbup:

 

But according to Wikipedia he only scored 8 goals in Denmark.

For the record, Schmeichel started his career in Denmark as a striker which is why he managed to score some goals there.

 

Not too surprisingly he failed to keep up this record whilst playing as a goalkeeper for Manchester United, Sporting Lisbon, Aston Villa and Manchester City.

 

However he did score three more goals as follows:

 

(a) a header from a late corner for Manchester United against Rotor Volgrograd,

 

( a penalty for Denmark in a friendly game against Belgium (whilst he was with Sporting Lisbon), and
