Question for the stattos

[Gwylan]

The two managers in the League Cup final are both English. When was the last time a major English cup final was contested by two English-managed teams?

Pretty sure Souness was the Liverpool manager for that one, Quizmaster(!).

Random questions get random answers. As you will find out on Friday.

Just checked Bolton v Liverpool in 95. Bolton manager was Bruce Rioch so it's not that.

Pretty sure Souness was the Liverpool manager for that one, Quizmaster(!).

It was Souness-just after his heart by-pass operation.

Think we've found the answer.

1990 League Cup Oldham v Notts Forest
Joe Royle and Brian Clough.

That's right. Didn't he have to have some bloke stand behind him with his hands near Souness's shoulders so he could stop him jumping up when he got too excited.

Wasn't the 91 FA Cup Final Venables and Clough? You know, Gazza and all that.

Brian Little and Howard Wilkinson.

Yep. Jason Speaks. I thought George Graham was in charge in '96 but he didn't take over until September.

Still, it was a long time ago.

He Speaks, he scores! Well done Jason.
