    I was educating the kids on our FA Cup win over Chelsea, given it’s just been Cup week, and a couple of trivia questions popped up!

    if you are dull, like me, and like football trivia, see if you can answer these off the top of yer head without using Googling/wikipedia to answer!

    All questions relate to Chelsea v Bradford City and our FA Cup clash in 2014-15.

    1) how many home games (all comps) had Chelsea lost that season prior to facing us?
    2) Who was City’s ‘keeper that game?
    3) which future Dutch international, still playing in the EPL (for a new club) was named on Chelsea’s bench that day?
    4) Name the French utility player City named on their bench that day?
    5) which Chelsea player opened the scoring in the 21st minute?
    6) who scored the goal that first put City in front?
    7) who was City’s skipper?
    8) who was the Ivorian striker City named in their squad, who is now an academy coach at Burton Albion?
    9) Mark Yeates played a big role in City’s comeback that day. But who did he join after leaving City?
    10) Name the three Brazilians midfielders (including one sub) Chelsea played that game.

    If anyone bothers, post your score out of 10 but not the answers, and see who is the City mastermind. I’ll post the answers up later on!

    1) how many home games (all comps) had Chelsea lost that season prior to facing us? - None i think? Im sure it was Joses first that season.
    2) Who was City’s ‘keeper that game? - Ben Williams?
    3) which future Dutch international, still playing in the EPL (for a new club) was named on Chelsea’s bench that day? Ake was there for a while, will guess him.
    4) Name the French utility player City named on their bench that day? - Routis? Only him and Vince are the frenchmen i can think of but i dont think Vincelot was a City player by then.
    5) which Chelsea player opened the scoring in the 21st minute? - Cahill
    6) who scored the goal that first put City in front? - Halliday
    7) who was City’s skipper? - No idea actually, Andrew Davies maybe?
    8) who was the Ivorian striker City named in their squad, who is now an academy coach at Burton Albion? - Super Francois Zoko!
    9) Mark Yeates played a big role in City’s comeback that day. But who did he join after leaving City? - Eastleigh? I think he went there at some point.
    10) Name the three Brazilians midfielders (including one sub) Chelsea played that game. - Ramires, Oscar & Diego Costa? Costa was Brazillian but played for Spain didnt he? Or the other way around.

    I've just been on Wiki to check my answers and got 5 correct plus 2 of the 3 Brazilians. 56.6%? No Mastermind here. Then I went to YouTube to watch the highlights again. And again. Phenomenal. Still brings a tear to the eye (and my dad's a Chelsea fan). Can't believe I forgot the French utility player.
    Thanks for that @borderlescott@borderlescott . Good fun.

    Loving all the people who don’t read the full post and write all their answers down. I bet it’s fun watching The Chase/Millionaire at your house.

    I've been going through our record, going back to 1903, and I've spotted an interesting bit of trivia regarding our successful managers.

    Since our formation, we've been promoted 9 times (8 managers). Of those 9 promotions and 8 managers, only one of those managers had previously managed another club to promotion prior to joining City (and that was just a single promotion).

    I believe that we were, in fact, the only team to beat them at Stamford Bridge all season.
