Q: Which team won the FA Cup and never scored a goal?
A: The Royal Engineers, because Willie Never scored in the final.
This is a trick question on two levels. Obviously there is the double use of the word "never" to create the question.
However the second trick is that this question is UTTER RUBBISH. The Royal Engineers have indeed won the FA Cup once but they did not have any players called Never playing for them in the final. They won the trophy in 1874/75 by beating Old Etonians 2-0 in a replay after the first match ended 1-1. The scorers in the replay were Captain H. W. Renny-Tailyour and Lieutenant R. H. Stafford. Renny-Tailyour got the goal in the first game as well.
I have heard the answer to this question given as Old Etonians, but it's still wrong. They have won the FA Cup twice and the two players who scored in their 1-0 wins were C. J. Clerke and W. J. Anderson.
