Football Trivia Question of the Day

[THFC6061]

Weirdly enough this came up in a pub quiz a few nights ago. I didn't know the answer at the time (but obviously do now). It was Yvon Le Roux, playing for France in the 1984 final against Spain (France won 2-0).

Yes, Yvon Le Roux in the 85th minute for France in their 2-0 win against Spain in the Euro 1984 Final.

36 players have been sent of in European Football Championship Finals tournaments, the first being England's Alan Mullery in the 1968 Semi-Final.

Three players were sent-off during Euro 2012: Sokratis Papastathopoulos (Greece), Wojciech Szczęsny (Poland) & Keith Andrews (Ireland).

To be pedantic the current Union flag was post 1801 (when the diagonal red stripes were added for Ireland) so that would be George III (of Hanover)

Stella McCartney

Yes, it was designed by Stella McCartney and manufactured by Adidas.
