China c 1400s ?

I fear I have posed a question which could have a few answers.
China did indeed have an early version of football, so Harry I defer to yourself.

The fact Id always relied on was the English in the 17th century playing football in America with Danish invaders heads.

Gruesome, which is perhaps why it stuck in my head.

Over to you Harry

I was thinking this as well! Looks like I'd have been wrong! Didn't this "Football" never use your feet? IMO it was a lareg crowd or something and you had to try and transport the head to the "goal" and it was usually played in the streets...Quite dangerous due to sheer volume of people and violence I think

What connects New York, Monserrat, Nigeria, Boston and Murcia ?

muggings.

Not muggings. You can add Ireland as a clue.

Guinness ?

I know that they have a funky style of guinness in nigeria (my assistant is from Abuja).

Something to do with St Pady day parades- I guess Nigeria has one as they the largest consumers of Guiness outside Ireland; Boston and NY's parades well publicised; dunno about Montserrat though.

Oh nor Murcia- but I have been there- is St Pat patron saint of Murcia too and so i guess they might also celebrate,.

Members of the Irish football team born there?

Patrick patron saint of all.

Guess that's me then?

Back to footy: What was the last team comprised solely of English players to appear in the FA cup final?

Clearly not a popular question- it was the Palace side of 1990. Over to anyone with a question
