Lakenheath Old Boys

We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!

Footie Trivia Question of the Week


About time we have a trivia question thrown out there

I saw this question asked on the BBC but I did get the answer. I think I know the answer so I though I would ask LOB
What do Alan Hansen, Lee Dixon, Tony Adams, Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs all have in common?

Good Luck

Hopefully, you will agree with me and we'll be right!

I didn't check the BBC, so my guess is that they made over 500 league appearances for their clubs, won a league title, and their clubs have not done so since then. I wonder if the Gunners of 2004 won the EPL post Adams.

I guessed incorrectly and was clueless as to what was the correct answer , so I also listened to MOTD 3. I know I should have taken another guess, But I never would have guessed the correct answer even if I took a million guesses.I will not reveal the answer in case other people a chance.

They have all won championships in three consecutive decades
Hansen won it in 79, many in the
80s and in 1990
Dixon and Adams won it in 89, 91,98and 02
