Right, my mind has gone blank and I can't think of this player's name; played for us, signed from either Leicester or Chelsea I think. Brazilian whose name was like a first name but spelt incorrectly. I'd google it but I don't know what to google. Any ideas on who I'm trying to remember or am I just imagining him?

Kenedy?

This maybe a dumb question, but at least the topic is then correct. I have interesting piece of Hungarian (and English) football history, and I decided to offer it to some museum to their exhibition.

I found this https://www.nationalfootballmuseum.com/exhibitions/ferenc-puskas-worlds-greatest-goalscorer/ but I don't know if that is still open. Is that like the biggest football related museum in England? Hungary did not seem to have any football museum, only sports in general.

Hopefully the photo is good enough, but it is a matchday programme from December 1954 with Hungarian players autographs. Wolves vs Kispest Honved.

Aye, still open and is, indeed, the National Football Museum - if you're looking to offer it to a museum, it'd be the logical choice (in the UK at least, dunno about a Hungarian equivalent!)

Yeah that museum is still open and I don't think there's any other bigger ones in England. Think the museum used to be in Preston but is now in Manchester city centre and it was relatively busy when I went.

 

Drop them an email to see if they're interested :thup:

Football clubs are limited to players from their city/surrounding area. Who has the best team in the league? Who's the best team in the world?

 

Maybe some brazilian team? Don't know where in Brazil the best Brazilian players are from.

Why is that when a club gets into the Europa/ Europa Conference League, people say "Playing Thursday - Sunday" will have a big effect in terms of fatigue and travel time etc, yet don't say the same thing about playing Wednesday - Saturday?

Usually teams who aren't as used to playing in Yewrup. Also Sunday non-TV 2pm games are always the worst atmosphere wise.

Would a sale and loanback trip FFP regs?

 

So if Newcastle sold Callum Wilson to a Saudi club for £50m, and brought him back in on loan - is that just a positive net £50m movement (depending on who pays wages) etc?

Memory fog again. Did I just imagine it or did Steve Watson do like a somersault throw in at one time?

 

Boro away as a kid, and the Peter Beardsley testimonial I definitely know about.

 But he definitely did do it? Just didn't want to think I was going mad.

 

Cheers!

Who would you say was the outright 3rd best player in the Messi and Ronaldo era?

 

For me it's between Suarez and Iniesta. Personally prefer both of them over Ronaldo tbh, much more my type of players.

Got to see Barcelona a good few years ago, one of the few times Messi was injured.  Iniesta the best player I've seen in the flesh.  Not just skill and vision but the amount of shit horrible niggly tackles he took off the opposition and just got on with.  Phenomenal.
