rubecula Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Yes, Robbie Keane (Spurs 4-3 Everton 12th Jan 2003, Spurs 5–2 Wolves 6th Dec 2003, Spurs 5 - 0 Burnley 26th Sep 2009) and Leon Best (Newcastle 5–0 West Ham United 5th Jan 2011). Premier League Hat-Tricks 1992-93 to 2011-12 Saturday 31st March 2012: When did the tradition of placing the winner's ribbons on the FA Cup start? I was talking about this very thing yesterday with some friends. So it is easy enough (they all are if you know the answers) So I will check to see if I am right? 1901 FA Cup Final, replay. Spurs versus one of the Sheffield teams. ( I think one of the players wives tied her ribbon on the cup or something?) If you had asked me on Thursday I have to admit I wouldn't have had a clue.

Yes, the 1901 FA Cup Final Replay when Tottenham Hotspur of the Southern League beat Sheffield United 3-1. The ribbons were tied to the FA Cup by the wife of the Spurs Director Morton Cadman and the tradition has continued until today.

MikeO Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 No idea (apart from being sure it was nothing to do with West Ham) so I looked it up....very interesting. Two or three claims to fame really, though I know which one you want . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upton Park FC (no connection to West Ham United) represented Great Britain in the 1900 Olympic Games in Paris and won the competition. A Gold Medal was later awarded. They were also one of the original 15 clubs who participated in the first FA Cup in season 1871-72.

Dalziel Kane Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 I don't feel the need to start a new discussion on the basis of a new question, I think what we have here is sufficient enough. I only initially asked as this Spurs person is always asking questions, and I just though 'how about we let some other guys have a go etc'. It's more than one a day too. Just pointing out, no harm done etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoo Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Pele It was actually Édson Arantes do Nascimento I believe that it was quite recent too, as in the last 10 years or so when he was awarded it from Lizzy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalziel Kane Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 I would have said Bert Trautman actually. Maybe Maradona should have got an honor too as some people genuinely believe he was an all round better player than Pele. Take note that the Queen hands out these titles and accolades like candy bars now so anyone can get a bit of recognition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't have just been for ability though would it....would have been for "services to the game". Pele....Supreme gentleman/sporting genius/universally respected during and after his career.

Dalziel Kane Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Yes, of course Mr Pele was whiter than white wasn't he during his professional career. I was mentioning Maradona strictly in a sense of skill and all round ability, I saw him play live and at his absolute best, I don't think anyone could come near in terms of all round awareness and his sheer technical attributes, the man was immense. Opinions may be swayed in favor of the Falklands anniversary and all this week but the man for me, wins this 'greatest player', contest, if we can overlook his cocaine addicition, unfair gamesmanship on occasion and stroppy outbursts. Pele himself was no epitome of 'everything that is right with soccer' and I prefer to remember the Argentinian for what I consider 'Best player ever' or at least what he could produce on a field of play.

As I weren't around for any of them. From what I've seen he stands out for me. Also Zico looked better than Pele in the games I've watched. Or have I just not seen enough?

Zoo Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Who scored Bolton Wanderers' only Premier League hat-trick to date? My Dad says that it's a fella' called Bobic from Germany. I personally would have gone for either Jay-Jay Okocha (he was quite good in his time) or Nicholas Anelka. But I'm guessing that my Dad's right considering how confident he is.
