No cheating!
First English football league club to get 100 points in a season?
Alan Shearer and Andy Cole are the top goal Premier League goal scorers, but who is the 3rd highest?
Who is the only English player to score in 3 world cups?
Which English club was the first to convert to an all seater stadium?

Was Coventry the first English all-seater stadium?

I don't know if this is trivia or not, but Garrincha, one of the greatest players ever, and the hero of the 1962 World Cup, played a total of 50 games for the Brazilian national team. Of those 50 games, Brazil won 49! :o [he also never once threw himself to the ground in pretend agony]

By the first replica shirt, I guess Leeds were the first to include the club badge?
I've got a photo somewhere of me wearing the black and red Man City away kit., looking like a very young Fat Franny Lee, from around 1972..but I can't recall the shirt having the badge on. It was definitely official Umbro kit and marketed as such though.

I think so yes. Don't take my word for it though.
Wiki says :
"In the 1970s clubs began to create strongly individual kit designs, and in 1975 Leeds United, who had changed their traditional blue and gold kit to all white in the 1960s to mimic Real Madrid,[52] became the first club to design a kit which could be sold to fans in the form of replica shirts."
