The Manchester United Quiz Thread

[MUFC]

Alright guys, time to test out how much exactly we know about our club.

So lets start off with two that shouldnt be too difficult:

1)Who is our highest ever goal scorer? And how many goals has he tallied?

2)Which player once scored a double hattrick (6 goals) in one single game for us?

[Schmeichel#1]

Our highest ever goal scorer is Bobby Charlton, he played 752 games for United and scored 247 goals(Man Utd record)

Charlton made 604 League apps and scored 199 League goals(Man Utd record)

George Best scored six goals in an 8-2 win against Northampton in the fifth round of the FA Cup in 1970.

[MUFC]

It was Dwight Yorke in 2001

[1luv1utd]

Interesting Fact, who is Manchester United's top scorer in the premiership alone.

Hint: they are joint top scorers, so there will be two players.
2nd Hint: They were the top 2 scorers for Manchester United in the 2002-2003 title winning season.

[Jay]

Ruud Van Nistelrooy and Andy Cole.

[Jazz 16]

Ruud and Scholesy. Scholes scored a hat-ful that season. Giggs got a fair few as well. Presume Giggs is close to Ruud and Scholes.

[1luv1utd]

Yes your are right, Scholes and Ruud both have 95 goals, I was surprised by that to be honest. Scholes will surely beat Ruud now as only one goal next season will see him being United's top premiership goal scorer.

the 2nd hint gave it all away didn't it lol!

[Jazz 16]

It did a bit. I remember that season well. Scholes scored about 15 league goals that season which is pretty impressive for a CM. Yes he will most certainly get that record next season. I also expect Giggs and probably Ole to beat Ruud's record as well.
Giggs and Scholes are currently 11th and 12th in Uniteds All time Goalscoring charts with 140 and 137 gaols so Im hoping they can hit the top 10 next season.

[carlyluvsunited]

Our highest ever goal scorer is Bobby Charlton, he played 752 games for United and scored 247 goals(Man Utd record)

I know I'm new here - and I'm only a gal :p

But you're wrong !!!

George Best is right for sure......

But.........

Bobby Charlton played 759 games and scored 249 goals :D

[1luv1utd]

[QUOTE=Jazz 16]It did a bit. I remember that season well. Scholes scored about 15 league goals that season which is pretty impressive for a CM.[QUOTE]

I thought he scored 20 :confused:

[Jazz 16]

He got 14 in the league I believe.

[nedster956]

Name a United player who collected an FA Cup Winners Medal, but was not a United player???

The three that I know of are:

Frank Stapleton for Arsenal.(against Man U!!)

Mark Hughes for Chelsea.

And finally the Legend that was Billy Meredith who won an FA Cup with Man ****ty.

Just for extra's.... they all have won the FA Cup with Utd as well!!

[I.R.baboon]

what is the prize in order to post
All answers are correct

[adamcsl]

It's Dwight Yorke.....The super pairing of Cole and Yorke...

[Branco]

Andy Goram was the player who collected a cup winners medal and was not our player, because he was on loan.

[Anderson's God]

what was I going to post! Blank!

[Busby Boy]

I think Tevez will be a big mistake. Look at all the baggage and controversy that has surrounded him since day one ... do we really need that? West Ham united accusing us of 'tapping up' their player. What will follow in the way of legal nightmares and complications, press speculation etc? The media will be out to get us if we sign Tevez in the same way the media have been out to get West Ham since the arrival of Tevez and Maschearano at their club last year. West Hams downfall last season started after the arrival of tevez. People forget that. They say he saved them from relegation, but it wasn't him alone, it was a team effort and coincided with the arrival of lucas neil and mark noble in the west ham team. What about the 20 odd games before that when Tevez failed to score in a single one of them? But the main reason we should never sign Tevez is because of that thieving gypsy slimey toad of an agent/owner who goes by the name of Kia Jorrabchian. That man is a walking time bomb. Just look at what he did at the club corinthians. It caused Tevez to be hated by the fans for the circumstances surrounding his departure from corinthians. The circumstances surrounding his departure from West Ham are less than rosey either, but how long before Joorabchian is threatening to take Tevez from Manchester United unless his exhorbitant demands are met? Furthermore though I believe the way we are signing Tevez ... big club taps up a smaller club- using their muscle to steal away smaller clubs best players scenario, will cause us to be hated thoughout the football community.
Off-topic!...this guy didn't check where is was posting.

[Anderson's God]
