The answer is Trevor Brooking - winning goal scorer of the 1980 FA cup.
Yes it is. It's a cute question.
Also it was a statistical oddity that Preston and Burnley had never met before in the FA Cup. In the 1950s, Leeds were drawn at home to Cardiff in the 3rd round three seasons in a row and all 3 of them finished 1-2.

It's a good question for sure, never heard that before.

My final effort for the day - which Scottish international goalkeeper once scored 4 in an international?
(His career was in the 1980s and 90s)
Andy Goram.... An international cricketer for Scotland iirc.

Bowled by Tim May.
Wow, I did not know he played against that 1989 Aussie side.
I know next to nothing about cricket but that was the First ashes tour that I can remember seeing on TV and I recall that team wiping the floor with England.
Merv Hughes, Boon, Waugh bros and Alan Border et al.

I'm pretty sure Beckenbauer did that double.
Yup.
Didier Deschamps
I knew that. I knew a soccer question!

Massive result for Villa away at Brugge this morning. Would have regarded a point as a great result but to go back home with a 2 goal lead is huge. Tyrone Mings how did you keep that header out!

I can’t believe what I just watched. Liverpool completely and utterly dominated by PSG but Allison a masterclass in goal and Elliott a goal against the run of play and Liverpool steal it.

UCL Quarter-Final draw is interesting
PSG v Villa
Arsenal v Real Madrid
Bayern v Inter
Barcelona v DortmundPSG should have too much for Villa but former PSG coach Emery is sure to have some plan to contain them and hit them on the break.
Real Madrid also scraped through on pens but as usual they will be favourites as they generally get through.
Hard to pick between Bayern and Inter - actually fancy Inter for this one.
Barcelona should trounce Dortmund, Pedro, Raphinha and Lamine Yamal are purring at the moment.
And on the weekend games, how the hell did Bournemouth not beat Spurs? They really should have had 4 or 5 and then Spurs scored with a freak cross/shot and Kepa blundering into Son for a penalty

2 nil up and should have been possibly 4 or 5 and then the freak goal and kepa mental collapse, it was definitely points lost

PSG were impressive at Anfield. Especially in extra-time. As much as it pains me to say it, they deserved to go through.

Good thing for us is that we're away in Paris in the 1st leg. If we can come away behind by 1 at worst, then we can really target the home leg.
Ironically, our best player currently is PSG loanee Marco Asensio.

North West London is full of Northerners this afternoon. It's the League Cup Final. Liverpool trying to win their first trophy under Arnie Slot. Newcastle United trying to win their first major domestic trophy since 1955.
Tickets were going for £900 each on Friday.
0-0 after 35 minutes.
