United in the 1990s Trivia Questions
1. Alex Ferguson became manager of Manchester United in 1986. Three seasons later, they won their first FA Cup under him. What was unusual about their 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace?

From Quiz Hell's Barbecue

Answer: The match was a replay, as United and Palace had drawn 3-3 in the original final

The FA Cup victory of 1990 was to be the first of several. United beat Nottingham Forest, Hereford United, Newcastle United, Sheffield United and Oldham Athletic, with the semi-final also being a replay. In the first FA Cup final, United and Palace drew 3-3, with two goals from Mark Hughes and one from Bryan Robson. The match was replayed five days later and this time, United won narrowly with a goal by Lee Martin. Martin almost missed the match, as Ferguson was uncertain about whether he was fit to play. United had a poor league run, finishing 13th, and at Christmas, fans were calling for Ferguson to be sacked. No doubt they were later relieved that he stayed on!

From Quiz Hell's Barbecue

Answer: Chelsea

Glenn Hoddle's Chelsea suffered a humiliating 4-0 defeat at the hands of United, with goals scored by Mark Hughes, Brian McClair (who came on as a substitute), and two penalties from Eric Cantona. As United also won the title, guaranteeing them entry into the Champions' League, Chelsea competed in the Cup Winners' Cup. They did it again in the 1995-96 season, when they beat Liverpool 1-0 in the FA Cup final with an 85th-minute Cantona goal. One tradition which has now sadly died out involved both finalists releasing a single featuring the players (and sometimes famous artists, such as Suggs and Chelsea, or Chris Rea, Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer and Middlesbrough). Manchester United's FA Cup song for 1994 was 'Come On You Reds', and 'Move Move Move (The Red Tribe)' was their 1996 FA Cup song. Sadly, thanks to Everton, the title of their 1995 FA Cup single 'We're Gonna Do It Again' proved to be wrong.
