RE: WHO AM I? - aries22 - 05-09-2015
My trouble is I'm out of the country with no access to all my Albion history books, and Google isn't that good, and using Google feels like cheating anyway.
All of which means to say I haven't got a f clue on these questions!
That Bobby Hope only got two Scotland caps shows what good players Scotland used to have back then, courtesy of Celtic and Rangers.

Not really Aries.
I seem to remember that Scotland's policy in those days was that if you played south of the border you weren't even considered. Probably Dennis Law may have been the only exception.

I don't think Laurie Cunningham scored for England, although I also thought that he had 5/6 caps not 3 so I'm not confident about this answer.

My apologies betterthanbaird, he did earn 6 caps for England. The question should have read how many caps while still a West Brom player. He must have earned another three when he was with Madrid.
Correct he didn't score in any of his three (six) games!

Correct although someone's getting a little cocky with all these smartass smilies.

It was but, the win also created another record in league football at that time.
It was a first but, a first time what?
