Subscriber nudge+ Posted April 3, 2020 Author Subscriber Share Posted April 3, 2020 Round 2 answers Question 1: Name the club that was the first to introduce a kit sponsor in the 1. Bundesliga. Which company was the sponsor? (2 pts) Correct answer: Eintracht Braunschweig who introduced Jägermeister as the first ever kit sponsor in the 1. Bundesliga in their home match against Schalke on March 24th, 1973. It was a controversial move back then which was even vetoed by the DFB and there was a legal process started, but Jägermeister and Eintracht Braunschweig found a loophole by making the logo of the Jägermeister deer the club´s official crest. DFB had to accept that and Eintracht got 100000 DM from Jägermeister. @Faithcore, @Rucksackfranzose and @Tommy were the ones who correctly answered both parts of the question and take 2 points each. @Viva la FCB correctly named Jägermeister as the kit sponsor but got the wrong club, whereas @SchalkeUK got the club right but failed to name the sponsor - both get 1 point as a result. Wolfsburg with VW was the most popular answer, Leverkusen/Bayer and Bayern/T-Mobile were other suggested answers. Question 2: Name the club that was the first in Germany (and in Europe) to open a cemetary for the fans (1 pt) Correct answer: Hamburger SV in 2008 became the first club in Europe and the second club in the world after Boca Juniors to do it. The cemetary is only about 100m away from the stadium and the entry into it is through a shape of goal. I was surpised with how many of you knew the right answer! @Dan, @SchalkeUK, @Rucksackfranzose, @Tommy all got it right. Schalke seemed to be the next most popular answer but unfortunately for those who chose it, Schalke was the second club to open a fan cemetary (in 2012). Question 3: Which current 1. Bundesliga player is named after a Belgian comic character (1 pt) Correct answer: Thorgan Hazard. He was named by his parents after a character, Thorgal Aegirsson, in a Belgian fantasy comic book that first appeared in serial form in Tintin magazine in the late 70s. The fictional character, who was born on another planet, was raised by Vikings after his spaceship crashed on Earth. Nobody got this one right There were some answers with the nicknames of players so maybe I worded it a bit poorly again... Unfortunately for @Faithcore, I couldn´t find any evidence that Tin Jedvaj was named after Rin Tin Tin. Likewise, I was hoping to find some evidence about Felix Kroos´ parents naming him after the cat from the comics and give @Spike a point, but unfortunately that didn´t happen... Shout out to @Azeem for bringing back Banjo Patterson Question 4: Which club holds the record of losing most DFB-Pokal finals? (1 pt) Correct answer: Schalke 04 with 7 lost finals. @Rucksackfranzose and @SchalkeUK get 1 point each. There were quite a few different teams named here, with @Faithcore thinking his own club holds the infamous record (4 lost finals) while I learned from @Dan that his club holds the same record in England. Others named Dortmund, Bayern, HSV, Leverkusen, Bochum. Question 5: Name five managers who each won the DFB-Pokal three times in their careers (5 pts) Correct answer: Karl-Heinz Feldkamp, Hennes Weisweiler, Ottmar Hitzfeld, Udo Lattek, Otto Rehhagel und Thomas Schaaf. So it´s actually 6 managers and I just can´t count apparently (not the first time either). Either way, you get 1 point for each correct one. @SchalkeUK was the only one to name 5 managers and get the maximum of points. I´m very disappointed with most of you for failing to mention the legend that is Thomas Schaaf. Also contrary to what most of you thought, Jupp Heynckes won the Pokal only once in 2013. The next best were @Rucksackfranzose (also included Schaaf so I was tempted to give a bonus point here haha), @Tommy and @Faithcore with 4 correct names each. Question 6: Name the club which holds the record of most Pokal wins in row (1 pt) Correct answer: Fortuna Düsseldorf with 18 (!) won matches in a row, an unbeatable run from August 1978 until January 1981 which was ended by Hertha BSC. No club has managed to beat this record since then. Only @SchalkeUK got this one right. I´m disappointed with you, @Tommy Most of you unsurprisingly thought it was Bayern - you were close, as both Bayern and Köln are second best with 17 won matches in a row. Question 7: Name the player who played football under the pseudonym Jay Goppingen for one year (1 pt) Correct answer: the one and only, Jürgen Klinsmann. Used the pseudonym when he played for Orange County Blue Star in the US. The pseudonym is supposed to be Jay Göppingen (reffering to his place of birth) but umlauts are apparently too hard for the English-speaking world A point goes to @Faithcore , @Tommy and @SchalkeUK . Question 8: Name two German clubs that have Pele as a honorary member (2 pts) Correct answer: RW Essen and 1. FC Köln A bit random this one, so not surprisingly, nobody named both clubs correctly. @Rucksackfranzose and @SchalkeUK get 1 point each for naming Köln and RW Essen respectively. Question 9: A British band once released a song about a German footballer and his sexy knees. Who was that footballer? (1 pt) Correct answer: Karl-Heinz Rummenigge in a hit song Rummenigge by Alan & Denise. What an earworm of a song Quite a popular one with 5 of you getting it right! Interestingly enough, three participants named Ballack Question 10: How high was the salary cap (in DM) for footballers when the 1. Bundesliga started its first season in 1963 (1 pt) Correct answer: 1200 DM/month. The base salary was supposed to be between 250-500DM a month, and including the performance bonuses, the monthly pay was not allowed to exceed 1200DM a month. There was a special clause for extremely talented ones allowing them to earn more - for example, Uwe Seeler was earning 2500DM a month due to his extraordinary talent, but those special cases had to be confirmed by the league and the tax office. @SchalkeUK was the only one with the right answer. Other answers varied from 3000DM to 10000DM to 250000DM. Also some of you made me recalculate from € and $ but then the conversion wasn´t close enough to the right answer...

Subscriber Dan+ Posted April 4, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted April 4, 2020 Hamburg was a complete guess the Bochum thing I got slightly wrong - the stat is that Leicester have lost the most cup finals without ever winning it, rather than just losing the most finals. This is also apparently the stat that Bochum hold in Germany. Funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
