The Great Bleacher Report Football Quiz: 1

Welcome to a brand new, multi-sports series from Barney Corkhill! In this series I will present a series of quizzes to find the most knowledgeable Bleacher Report member.

Writers and readers argue until they're blue in the face for what they think is right. If someone disagrees they will beat out fact after fact to prove their argument. Well, now we can find out how much you really know!

In an attempt to prevent people seeing other peoples answers and then copying them, you can send your answers to [e-mail]. Please give your name and, obviously, the quiz answers.

The voting closes at midnight on Friday, and the answers and winners will be announced along with the next week's questions on Saturday.

And please, don't scrawl the Internet looking for the answers in order to get full marks, it's really not that important.

Anyway, without further ado, let's have the questions for the first week of the Football Quiz!

1. Who is the only footballer ever to play in three World Cup winning teams?

2. Which trophy was stolen from a Birmingham shop window in 1895?
