M42Owl Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 They’ll be dancing in the streets of Forest Green if Rovers pick up three points tomorrow. So what do you know about FGR? Before the FRG questions; the quote used above, “they’ll be dancing in the streets of…” originally referred to where? Which commentator/ presenter is credited with the original blunder? When was Forest Green football club formed (“Rovers” was added bit later)? Which Gunner is a significant shareholder in FGR? For a short period in the 1980/90s the club changed its name. What is the town that it was named after? Quorn is a major sponsor of FGR. Alongside Rank Hovis McDougall, which well known U.K. company initially developed quorn? In what year did FGR win the FA Vase? How many times has FGR won the FA Trophy? Which former FGR manager was poached from the then non-league club by a mediocre Yorkshire club? Who has managed FGR in the EFL and was once linked with the head coach’s role at Wednesday? Name the Wednesday legend. 95-02 Plymouth 02-04 Wednesday (11 games) 03 Swindon (loan) 03-04 Macclesfield (loan) 04 Bristol Rovers 04-05 Kidderminster 05 Forest Green Rovers (25 games) 05-08 Salisbury City 12. Who is the chairman of FGR and which “green” energy company did he found? 13. Which diminutive defender effectively ended his career at Forest Green having previously also racked up over 100 premier league appearance for Forest? 14. Which Wednesday trainee made just a single appearance for Wednesday and a single appearance on loan to Forest Green before a nomadic career in the lower leagues, including a season at Forest Green (44 apps), and is now coaching at Exeter? Famous people from Nailsworth: none, not even former soap stars. Well actually there’s sort of one. 15. Raised in Nailsworth, but born in Seattle, this three times Olympic gold medalist rower shares (almost) a name with the footballer left trailing by Maradona after the Hand of God. So what about some famous vegans? 16. Monica’s boss in the big house on Pennsylvania Ave. 17. Manchester Arena artist at the time of the 2017 bombing. 18. 80s/90s Olympic gold medalist in sprint and long jump. 19. To be frank, this author has a monster reputation. 20.
