    Cheers Brian. OK. at which stadium were goal nets first used for a match ? And for a bonus who was the first to 'put the ball in the net', and against who.

    Nottingham in a game against Everton 1891. A Everton player called Geary scored the first goal.

    No, I wasn't there that day. :emoticon-0105-wink:

    <laugh> All yours Frenchie it was at Nottingham Forest's Town ground, and the player was Everton's Geary. The game wasn't actually Forest v Everton, but a representative North v South match. Interestingly enough the ref. for the day, Sam Widdowson, is credited with having invented shin pads. Over to you.

    I'm not sure that this counts but the President of France has the title of co-prince of Andorra - so their monarch (at least in title only) would have been elected, but by the French not the Andorrans.

    Is it Belgium? Their king is 'King of the Belgians' rather than 'King of Belgium'.

    As it did - our former player Dominic Ludden. Appears to have done well for himself...
