Prince Told Us To Party Trivia Quiz

Answer: Glenn Hoddle

Hoddle was manager of the England football team, when in an interview with Matt Dickinson of "The Times" about his born again Christianity he said, "that people were reincarnated 'to learn and face some of the things you have done - good and bad", following this with, "'You and I have been physically given two hands and two legs and half-decent brains.

Some people have not been born like that for a reason. The karma is working from another lifetime." Although the pressure was on Hoddle to resign, he refused, saying he had done nothing wrong, and although the FA initially backed him, they bowed to public pressure after three days and sacked him.

Answer: Pit Pony

In the weeks before Robbie's retirement, Amos and Silver had retired. All were Welsh cob ponies, standing about 13 hands high and pit ponies were once a common sight in UK mines.

Answer: Chelsea

To say that Sutton struggled at Chelsea is an understatement. He found it difficult to adapt to Chelsea'a style of play and his confidence dropped.

In 2000, Chelsea took a £4 million hit and sold him to Celtic for just £6 million.

He hanged himself in his jail cell after serving four years of his sentence.

Answer: Mont Blanc

The Mont Blanc tunnel links France and Italy under the Alps and although it is only 11.5 kilometres (7.2 miles) long it is a very impressive engineering feat. In March, a Belgian truck caught fire in the tunnel and this turned into a major disaster unbelievably quickly. Electrical wiring melted and the lights all went out plunging the entire tunnel into darkness while the ventilation system in the tunnel drove toxic fumes into the tunnel faster than people could run to safety and starved the air of oxygen, caused car engines, and the engines of fire rescue vehicles to stall.

The tunnel was closed for three years after the fire for major renovation and safety work.

Answer: Shania Twain

Twain's "Come On Over" album was released in 1997, but it took us Brits a couple of years to catch on, although when they did, they went all out and bought it in droves.

I Feel Like a Woman!" and "That Don't Impress Me Much."

Diallo's death is mentioned by Bruce Springsteen in the song "American Skin (41 Shots)" (2000) and the Wyclef Jean track "Diallo" (2000).
