The charts on this site solved some of the questions raised in a departmental discussion, but not all. Would it be possible to expand the charts to include the runners up of the various competitions, with number of occurrences in that position.
KryssTal Reply: Hi there Sorry about the delay. Here is an unfinished web page with that information...
Kryss,
Please could you tell me who played Sunderland in the FA Cup Final in 1973 ? Many Thanks.
KryssTal Reply: Leeds United. Sunderland won the game 1 - 0.
I have visited all the sites that I can think of to find the names of the all the players that were on the Blackpool team when they won the F.A. cup. I also wrote to the Blackpool Club but got no answer back, can you help me with my problem.
Thanking you in advance.
KryssTal Reply: Sorry can't help.
This is a question that has been e-mailed about 100 times but so far no-one has found out the answer.
Once you have done it, you cannot do it again. Villa did it at the first attempt, Manchester United in 1992, Chelsea in 1970, other clubs include Spurs,Wolves and Manchester City. Leeds haven't done it, neither have West Ham or Newcastle. Nobody can do it this season (1999 - 2000)
By the way your site is an excellent statto's dream
Dear Kryss,
I would be grateful if you could answer the following questions for me.
Which are the teams that play in the UEFA cup?
Which are the teams that play in the Championship league? (Is it also called UEFA championship league?)
Which teams play in the Cup Winners Cup?
Which teams play in the European Cup?
What are the different club championships in England?
KryssTal Reply: Hello there
Sorry about the delay in replying.
Each country has a UEFA Cup allowance of teams. For England the teams that win the FA Cup and League (Worthington) Cup qualify for the UEFA Cup. In addition the team that finishes in fourth place in the League. The team that finished third may also qualify if they fail to get into the Champions League. A team winning the UEFA Cup will defend it. Teams finishing third in the first group stages of the Champions league go into the UEFA Cup.
For the Champions League: in England it is the teams which finish first and second in the League. The third team gets a chance to qualify in a play-off. If they fail they go into the UEFA Cup. The European Cup is the old name for the Champions League.
The Cup Winners Cup no longer operates. It used to be the winners of the FA Cup, or the runners up if the winners also won the League.
There is only one club championship in England. The winners of the Premiership are considered champions of England. There are four professional divisions.
Hope this clears things up.
An excellent and informative page. I found your information useful in pointing out a thing or two to biased Man Utd supporters!!!!!
Long live the Houllier renaissance!!
KryssTal Reply: Thank you. I enjoyed watching Real Madrid tonight. That'll knock the swagger from United. And why didn't Paisley get a knighthood for winning the European Cup several times?
Marvellous job on all the football information. If I acknowledge your effort by naming your on our site may we use the information?
Thank you and again congratulations.
KryssTal Reply: Yes indeed. Thank you.
I'm in Canada, was from Manchester, there is a lot of Ex Lancashire folk write on pages and we discuss all sorts,. last week I asked what team won the FA cup and Never scored a goal.... No back up on that, my husband has always said the answer was Jimmy Nevers had scored and either for or against Preston North End.?? course no idea what year.but must have been a long while ago. Was also told the question should have been Nobody scored a goal... Help. Please can you shed any light on this one. It,s been an old questions of my husbands for years... and the page expert on Preston North End cant find it in his records..
Thanks a lot.....
Your ranking doesn't include Belgium with four winning Anderlecht: 1976(Cup Winner Cup), 1978(Cup Winner Cup), 1983 (UEFA cup), Malines : 1988 (cup Winner Cup).
KryssTal Reply: I have 3 for Belgium under the Cup Winners Cup and 1 for the UEFA Cup
You have my team (Burnley) listed as never winning the FA Cup - they won it in 1914!
KryssTal Reply: So sorry - I've made the correction. I wish they had won it in 1962!
I remember Burnley as being David O'Leary's debut for Arsenal when he was 16 in a 0 - 0 draw back in 1975 or 1976.
Hey thanks. Actually Burnley is my Dad's team - I was born in Salford and I guess I could claim Man U as my team but everyone over here in the States supports Man U because they win so much - I like to support the underdog.
KryssTal Reply: Man U split people here - they either love them or hate them. [I can't say I'm keen on them!]
What's your prediction for the two [2000] FA Cup semi's. I have to go with Chelsea 'cos I once lived near Earls Court and watched many a Chelsea game. When they were away I went to see Fulham. For the other semi, I have to go with Newcastle as we have a youth club named after them.
KryssTal Reply: Chelsea play Newcastle in one of the semis. I work with a Newcastle supporter so I'm going with them but I don't really mind.
The other semi is 1st division Bolton verses Aston Villa. Bolton played in the first Wembley final in 1923. This year's final will be the last at Wembley until it is rebuilt. Lots of people are going for Bolton for that. My boss supports Villa so, publicly, I have to go along with that!
I think you've done a great job with your site. I have it as one of my favorites. It will certainly get my history of the game back on track.
KryssTal Reply: Thank you - you're very kind.
Don't know how I could have Chelsea AND Newcastle. I guess I'll go with Bolton too as they are just down the road from Burnley - At least it is a Lancashire team. When I lived in London I guess I only went to Wembley maybe two times at the most. Can't even remember who England played - I guess it wasn't too memorable. Where are you from?
KryssTal Reply: Born and live in Highbury in London - Greek parents.
Highbury? - A real live gunner. Interesting heritage - my dad was in the RAF and I spent six years in Cyprus. On our first tour, we stayed outside the base and our landlords were Greek. They had six girls and one son. I became close friends with Panachios (spelling?) until they sent him to Greece to get a REAL education. I went back there years later and it was amazing how everything had changed. Panachios stayed in Greece, never did see him again - you ever visit relatives in Greece?
KryssTal Reply: Most of my relatives are in England or Cyprus - very few in Greece.
Yes, I'm a real live Gooner. If I'm at home and they score, I can hear the cheering. Is there much footie where you are? - it's not so popular in North America, I hear.
Actually, I have been coaching youth soccer for about 10 years. Soccer is huge with the kids over here - you can log on to
for my state organization and they have links to the USYSA. As you may know the USA Women won the World Cup twice now and the men continue to improve although recently they caught the english disease of not being able to beat a team in a shoot out (Columbia beat USA in a shoot out 2-1 - what a disgrace!)
I lived in Limassol - where do your relatives live?
KryssTal Reply: North of Limassol.
