I Need A Difficult Sports Question

[granny grump]

I need one more question for my quiz tonight can anyone please suggest an obscure sports question and answer

[granny grump]

I've heard of ossie murraymints so perhaps I'm not such a big girl's blouse after all :-)

[murraymints]

lol granny !

But Peter Shilton had his boots ON!

The Kellogs one is by any stretch of the definition a "trick question", though. If your quizzers are used to those, then fine, but if not you may find it backfires on you.

If you want something that can be worked out with actually needing to be known, per se, you could ask what is the highest break which can be made in snooker without potting the black ball.

Ten minutes ago you said you hadn't heard of him!

[granny grump]

Not ossie jeffa I looked it up and found Nigel Pearson - I haven't heard of him

[jeffa]

Oh dear! Suggest you do a bit more research!

[granny grump]

It shows him in 2008 back to the drawing board bye for now

Read Jeffa's question again - Before Kevin Keegan's FIRST stint?

[Obiter]

Ruud Gullit comes to mind.

[Mamyalynne]

Am I reading a different thread?

Snooker - what's the maximum number of points that you could (theoretically) score at 1 shot, 1 individual shot /stroke of the cue?

Answer 16. The opponent has fouled with all reds on the table (15 of them), you have a free ball. You hit the free ball, that counts as an extra 'red,' and then into all the reds and they shatter across the table dropping everywhere, scoring 1 point per ball sunk - so 16 points

Re: one of campbellking's questions
"Which is the only sport where it is illegal to play left handed?
Answer: Polo"
Am I right in thinking that you can't use a left handed hockey stick? You can use a left handed grip on a right handed stick (I know because that's how I had to play), so question is, is that 'playing left handed'? Not to me it isn't.
Just thought I'd throw that out there.
