Question Anybody got any football trivia?

I need maybe half a dozen trivia questions with answers, things like who’s the only player to have scored a hatrick in all four English divisions and at international level (Earnshaw). Abuse welcome

First player to win the Premier League with 2 clubs. 90% of people will say Ashley Cole, and they'll be wrong. 9% will say David May, and they'll be wrong too.

Though it is another player who moved from Blackburn to United: Henning Berg.

Little known fact

Football games last for 90 minutes, unless Manchester United need a goal at which point additional minutes are added as required

This is an old one but a good one - which post-war England captain played ALL his football in the old 3rd & 4th divisions?

Which team has the tradition that the captain chooses the type of shirt for the game (long or short sleeves) and the rest of the team must wear the same for the match... ?

The Gooners

The only time a father & son have played in the same team was when David Herd, who'd go on to score 100+ for both Arsenal and Utd, played alongside his dad Alec for Stockport v Hartlepool in the 50s

Also, you've got to do the one about Chris Nicholl of Villa scoring all four goals in their 2-2 draw with Leicester in 1976

FA cup question.

1979 - Sunderland
1980 - ?
1981 - Villa

You need to work out what the connection between the 2 answers is and then work out the one in the middle.
