Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who replaced Harry RedKnapp as the manager of Portsmouth during the season of 2004-05?

Answer: Velimir Zajec

Harry moved on to manage arch rivals Southampton, in their bid to remain in the premier league. The Saints had a disappointing run during the first half of the season, seeing them lose 6 times and draw 6 times in their first 15 games.

2. Who did Harry Redknapp replace as manager of Southampton?

Answer: Steve Wigley

In season 2002-03 the Saints had achieved glory of a FA cup final and the best finish of 8th place in the Premier League under their previous managewr, Gordon Strachan. But the Saints floundered after he stepped down in February 2004, when Sturrock took over briefly before Wigley took charge.

Answer: 4

More than just the impact of the 2 losses and 2 draws in the first 4 matches, Sir Bobby's inability to bring Wayne Rooney to Newcastle from Everton seems to have attracted the wrath of top management.

4. The London derby between Chelsea and Arsenal on 12th December was marred by controversy as Henry scored his second from an quickly taken free-kick? Who was the referee for the match?

Answer: Graham Poll

The Chelsea players protested vehemently but the goal was given. Poll also booked Robben for dissent. The match finally ended even-stevens with John Terry equalising from a corner.

Answer: Jesper Gronkjaer

Jesper Gronkjaer was sold to Birmingham City, along with Melchiot who had a free transfer. Hasselbaink joined Middlesborough, while Desailly moved out of the EPL after forming the centre of the defense for Chelsea since 1998.

Answer: Alexei Smertin

Smertin was signed in August 2003 and spent a successful season on loan at Portsmouth. A defensive midfielder, Smertin originally came to the Premiership from French club Bordeaux. He provides a useful midfield anchor, but can also burst forward to devastating effect.

7. Who did Martin Jol replace as the manager of Tottenham Hotspur?

Answer: Jacques Santini

Santini departed after an indifferent spell. Subsequently, the Spurs management reposed their faith on Jol, who was assisting Santini.

8. Manchester United finally ended the unbeaten record run of Arsenal, continuing from their undefeated 2003-04 season. For how many matches did the run continue in the 2004-05 season?

Answer: 9

The loss to Manchester United in their 10th game of the season was followed by 3 draws and 1 defeat in the next 5 matches for Arsenal, which saw Chelsea build up a significant lead at the top of the league.

Arsenal were undefeated for 49 games: the last 2 games of the 2002-03 season, the entire 2003-04 season (38 games), and the first 9 games of the 2004-05 season.

Answer: Mikael Silvestre

Silvestre was red-carded for a head butt on Freddie Ljungberg, as they argued over a foul on Bergkamp.

10. Which of these managers was not managing a Premiership side in the 2004-05 season?

Answer: Glen Hoddle

Dowie was manager at the Eagles (Crystal Palace), Worthington the Canaries (Norwich City), and Souness the Magpies (Newcastle United).
