Was he the youngest ever Italian player at his first World Cup and the oldest ever Italian player at his last world cup?

Great logic, but no.

 

[BNJ1878]

Sent this to a friend and got this answer, fantastic question if this is the right answer.

Spoiler: Answer Maybe??

he played in 4 world cups but never played a qualifier game

Correct, even more amazing is that he wasn't selected for 94.

82 late call up
86 Italy qualified as holders
90 Qualified as hosts
98 late (and surprise) call up.

....in 1963 the same striker scored against the same goalkeeper in consecutive matches at Wembley. Denis Law scored against Gordon Banks in the Manchester United v Leicester FA Cup Final, and then for the Rest of the World v England.

I remember that game, it was some team the RoW had.

Hi folks,

Thought we could do with some sort of thread to provide light yet interesting relief from the current apocalypse. I propose a football trivia thread, not necessarily confined to Everton but I'm sticking it in here to prevent off topic posts (sensible discretion will be used obviously so don't panic). Feel free to use whatever format you like, but I suggest making use of the spoiler function. If anyone wants to "live post" a quiz like Artetafan used to then feel free however that can be intensive for whoever sets the question.

Dennis Law also scored five goals in an FA cup game that was wiped off the slates because the game was abandoned, think it was City versus Luton Town ( ?) with City leading 6-1, he also scored in the game when it was replayed.
