Okay... what was extremely unusual about the 'assist' for Aguerro's goal that won the title against QPR?

Was it that it was the only assist Balotelli made?

Or that he was on the floor when he passed it?

Blimey, that was just a stab in the dark! Here's one with a few answers to get:

Name the Premier League's all-time* highest scorer from each of these countries:

Brazil
Colombia
Czech Republic
Germany
Sweden

Bonus: name the only two Poles to have scored (once each) in the Premier League.

*since 1992, that is

The German must be Klinnsman?

Coutinho?
Lundberg?

I'd have to have a serious think about the other two.

First time i've seen this thread lol, love a good Sports (mainly Football quiz), I usually compete in the Proper Football Quiz in Manchester and it's bloody tough

Right here goes, I would say:-

Brazil - Coutinho, can't think of who else it might be actually
Colombia - Juan Pablo Angel, pretty easy that one and scored more than you realise
C.Republic - I'd say given longevity Patrick Berger, could be Baros but don't think it is
Germany - Klinsmann surely, possibly Rosler at City in the early 90's
Sweden - Deffo gotta be Ljungberg

I'd put Diego Costa in front of Coutinho.

He comes from Brazil. :?

Home is :

a) Where the heart is,

c) Where the caps are?

OK, all the names have been named:

Coutinho (Costa has scored more but he plays for Spain and the Brazilian FA have renounced him!)
Angel
Berger
Klinsmann
Ljungberg

I guess DD can have it as he got three of the names plus one of the Poles, Warzycha.

The other Pole shares his name with a modern jazz musician...

Very magnanimous (or lazy?) of you - I figured that as you got three straight off he could have just taken your answers. He got the two that I thought might be most challenging, though!

As FOR5 has disappeared, I'll take up the mantle :

Who is the only cricketer to hit a six off the very first ball of a test match - and who against and what year?

Can only be Chris Gayle.

Don't know who the opposition were; I seem to remember a game when Shoaib Akhtar bowled one so fast that the batsman didn't see it and top-edged it over the keeper for six, but my memory is hazy and I think that was a one-dayer and maybe not the first ball anyway... but I'll guess Pakistan anyway as I don't have anything better!
