Pointless

[Marseilletractor]

Pointless answers were Micky Horswill, Richie Pitt, Vic Halom and Trevor Cherry.
Contestants didn't win. They didn't attempt to answer the cup-final question, I'm not sure they could have named the sides involved never mind the players.

Oh feck - how manh times did i mention Cherry - nobody got Vic Halom ?? Wow !

 

[Rick O Shea]

Neither side used their sub.

I was sure Yorath came on for Leeds.

 

[Invictus]

My 3 picks were Horswill Pitt and Watson. As meatloaf said 2 out of 3 ain’t bad.

 

[seahamstar]

I was sure Yorath came on for Leeds.

According to wikipedia , he came on for Eddie Gray.
David Young was an unused sub for Sunderland

How is Pitt a pointless answer. I still reckon his tackle on Clark in the first minute won us the cup.

Great wasn't it.

It'd be a straight red in these days of modern pansy footballers.

Contestants pretty crap and thought they were so clever. Went for no.1 albums and singles (I think) and got them all wrong

Got the three pointless answers, Pitt, Halom and Horswill.

Is that the three you would have chosen?

We all got them all, obviously.

Yes it was, I know there will be doubters but unbelievably it’s true, why would I lie there’s nothing to gain by it.

 

[Richie K]

I would have went Horswill, Malone, Pitt.

how much did I win

Those were my three, was surprised Malone wasn't pointless.

I wasn't accusing you of lying. Just asking if that's the three you picked. I went Pitt, Horswill and Guthrie.

 

[Exapno Mapcase]

Denis Tueart - what a good player he was , Dave Watson also

Yorath , would have been my pick - did he play ?

Yorath came on for Eddie Gray.

I found it strange how in that category there was only 1 pointless answer. So the 100 people got every single artist who had a number 1 album or single in 1973, unbelievable.

 

[longers]

I'm starting to think they don't bother asking 100 people any more and just make it up.

 

[Butcher's Coat]

Only Halom was a pointless answer out of our side

Pitt and Horswill too marra.
Keep up at the back.

 

[woodlebert]

I`d have gone for Guthrie, Malone, Halom

Same

 

[freckletooth]

I`d have gone for Guthrie, Malone, Halom

So out of 100 people asked about players from a cup final 47 years ago somebody said Dick Malone and Ron Gutherie

Yes, why not?

 

[Smiler]

I said Guthrie, Halom and Pitt. Bit of an easy one to get a 0 for any Sunderland supporter

 

[riffraff]

Surprised there weren't more pointless answers. What are the chances that of the 100 people they apparently ask, that one (or more) of them is a Sunderland/ Leeds fan who just so happens to know both teams? I reckon if you ask 100 genuinely random people less then five of them would even know who played in that final. Even if you asked 100 people at the match I bet they'd struggle to name the entire Leeds side and a fair few (especially younger ones) would struggle to name our team.

You’re getting there.

Only Halom was a pointless answer out of our side

Naaaah.
Weird thing was Halom being on MOTD intro footage the following season couldve increased his recognition factor more than the final itself. IE “who’s that just just shot n just about to swear on my telly on Saturday night?”

 

[freckletooth]

Yes, why not?

I know you'll google this but can you name Fulhams right and left back from 1975 final
