Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Arsenal's Thierry Henry wore which number?

Answer: 14

A true masterstroke by Arsene Wenger in the signing of Thierry Henry from Juventus. Juventus used Thierry as a winger, as a result he failed to shine. The move to a different country and a new position was the start of a glittering career. World Cup, European Championship and numerous domestic honours have followed.

2. Manchester United's goalkeeper Edwin Van Der Sar wore which number?

Answer: 19

Juventus broke the world record for goalkeepers when they signed Edwin. They did so again when they paid well for his replacement GianLuigi Buffon.

3. Milan Baros joined Aston Villa at the start of this season. He was given the number 9 shirt by David O'Leary.

Answer: False

Baros was given the number 19 shirt. Aston Villa paid Liverpool for his services.

4. Goalkeeper Sander Westerveld returned to England and spent this season at Portsmouth. What was his number?

Answer: 1

Sander was one of an excellent group of goalkeepers to come out of Holland. A big, powerful goalkeeper, Sander was unlucky to find himself behind Edwin Van Der Sar in the pecking order for his national team. Had he been of most other nationalities, he would have amassed far more international caps that he did.

Answer: 26

John has developed into a real leader at Stamford Bridge to the extent that he later captained both club and country.

6. Spanish international Luis Garcia wore a shirt number vacated by a famous English striker. What was it?

Answer: 10

7. Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer wore which number?

8. Fulham striker Tomasz Radsinski wore which number?

Answer: 13

Radsinski was the only Canadian who played in the Premier league in the season.

9. Legendary Mexican hitman Jared Borgetti wore which number during his season long stay at Bolton Wanderers?

10. Arsenal's Justin Hoyte spent this season on loan at Sunderland. What was his squad number at the Stadium of Light?

Answer: 32

Justin was one of many young rising stars to emerge from Arsenal's academy. With the sale of Ashley Cole to Chelsea at the end of 2005-06, Justin was aiming to push Gael Clichy for the left back slot at Arsenal.
