Yep, that's it. Back to you!

BTW, what did you think I was asking?

The last time 3 of the 4 were from outside the top division.

That's exactly what I thought. Sorry. OK, which was the last year when none of the four FA Cup semi-finalists were from the big four (i.e. Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool)?

THe last final was 91 but Spurs beat Arsenal in the semi, so it must be 1987...

Correct DMAC. I can see why you play FFQ so well. Over to you.

OK, which club had 7 players who had captained, or went on to captain, England playing for them in the same season?

hint: 1980s

Southampton.

Should be "year" rather than season, but yeah that's right: Ball, Shilton, Wright, Mills, Keegan, Channon & Watson all played for Southampton at some point in 1982

your ball

Which footballer only played for England 12 times, but captained England on 8 of those occasions?

hmm tricky.

perhaps somebody like gary pallister?

No. He played in the 1970s and had a moderately successful time as a manager in the early 1990s.

It's pretty hard trying to think of players with that little few caps.

Peter Reid?

No. This guy's glory years as a player and manager were with the same London club.
